Struggling...Now Relieved....

I was struggling with when to do Thanksgiving. I have worked so many Thanksgivings that we ended up doing Thanksgiving on Friday every other year and then most years. This year Lloyd was going to have to work Friday after Thanksgiving. He asked his boss if he could have it off. Problem is he is the lowest man on the totem pole. He figured asking was probably useless, but what could it hurt. He finally found out today that his boss is letting him off on Thanksgiving and Friday! I was so relieved.

I didn't know how I was going to do the holidays. I was so afraid I was going to have to leave out someone. If I have on it on Thursday Josh and Ashley can't come, on Friday Lloyd and Andy possibly may of had to work......I have been struggling with that for the last several weeks. I found out last week Andy was for sure off on Thursday and Friday.....I was just waiting on Lloyd. Thankful that he found out today that he is off......Thursday through Sunday. Relief....I can include everyone.....well almost everyone.

So on Friday the Moons are having Thanksgiving. We invited Andy's parents over thinking that away Andy and Amanda would not have to choose families, but it looks as though they are going to Brazoria on Thursday....So Amanda, Andy, Haelee, Lloyd, Me, Allison, Ashley, Josh, Barbara, Fred and maybe Colton. We can't get Dale... Lloyd keeps on trying, but it seems hopeless. He never seems to answer his phone and returns phone calls. We are going to keep on trying. We know how busy he is.

Very Relieved....now to choose Turkey or Ham.....decisions, decisions.....Lloyd wants ham.... he will probably win. Just easier.

Possible menu:

Ham/Turkey
Dressing
Green Bean Casserole
Broccoli Rice Casserole
Corn Casserole
Mashed Potatoes
Strawberry Fluff
Cranberry Sauce
Deviled Eggs....yum.....
Gravy?
Rolls

Sugar Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Pies ??

Sounds good! On my waist line........lol.......
