Family

Ok so my turkey was a sucess. It seems like I actually can cook.. :0) Seriously, not to toot my own horn but the turkey turned out great. Everyone ate it and some even took left overs home. So we called off the firemen.
But I want to talk about family and holidays. Why is it that everyone gets so crazy at the holiday time. I mean really.. my mom came back Saturday and cooked her thanksgiving on Sun., cool..not so much. Why you ask??? Because she flipped out...everything had to be perfect which everyone knows leads to imperfection. The food was over cook, the kids were insane... my sister was yelling at my newphews..My other sister just sat by and watched her kids destroy everything. DH was upset for some unknown reason..We left early which (due to the above) upset my mom..she is still not talking to me. UGH childish...Ok so the motto for me this year is to find the inner peace in this season. I must admit that I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays because of the craziness. I hope to actually be able to do it. Keep your fingers cross. In the alternative I always have the bottle of wine..
