1 week until FEAST time!

We are just one week from THANKSGIVING!! 
As everyone already knows... I have been thankful daily!!  Sometimes it is just something little, that may seem silly... but it's the little things that keep me going sometimes.
Yesterday I started doing some serious meal planning for our Thanksgiving!  We are looking at about 20 people coming!!  I am thinking of trying a few new dishes for our feast... not just the "same ole" Thanksgiving meal.  ;-)

Speaking of food... I really need to get serious about my diet!!!  My scale is def going in the wrong direction!!!  And it is really starting to show...  my heart is acting funky, my back is killing me, and let me tell you about my mood...!
It isnt easy, let me tell you!!!  I have NO support in this house!!!  I buy foods that are good for ME to eat... and somehow everyone else runs off with them!!!  BUT, if those were the ONLY foods I would buy... all hell would break loose!!  UGH!! 
My husband isnt any help either... apparently he has NO self control of his own!!  Four donuts in one day...at work...  It doesnt matter what I buy for the house, he just goes crazy elsewhere!!
I cant police everyone... but it would be nice to have my husband helping me with this struggle.  I am thankful for my friends who try to be supportive!!  I think I would just lay down and give up if it werent for them!!

Let me tell you about the nitemare of this damn doggie door!!!!! LOL!!!! 
UGH!!!!  Some are getting it... some refuse...!!!  So much for my trainable German Shep!!!  His ass is going to be looking for a new home if he doesnt get it together real soon!!!  UGH!!!
Then there are the dogs that are just too smart for their own good... they use the doggie door to go out... then find their way out of the run... and let themselves in the out kitchen door!!!  WTH!?!?! 
I think this weekend we need to finish the run... secure it... and hope these bone heads decide to cooperate!!!

Bunnies are doing well!  I LOVE having our rabbitry.  I want to figure out a new cage system... I have been on the look out.  Because I want to increase our numbers a little.  I still have some Holland Lops and an English Lop waiting for me.  AND... my Champagne as a girlfriend waiting for him! 

We have decided (and researched) a new "diet" for Nathaniel!!  We are going to start him on it this weekend.  We are hoping that will help with his attention issues at school!  It is going to be a major pain in the ass...and one more thing for ME to deal with and worry about... but I feel it will be worth it.  Praying it just works!!!

My mother's moving date is fast approaching.  I hope for everyones sake... it goes smooth. 
She really pissed me off when she told Nathan that she couldnt attend Grandparent's Day at school.... because I was forcing her to pack boxes!!!  Real nice... real nice!!  THIS is what I am dealing with!!!  The woman NEVER attended a Grandparent's day... for ANY of the kids... ANY other year!!!  Why would this year be any different?!?!?  I am not going to even get started. 
My grandparents ALWAYS go... as does Ollie's mother!!  Yep... interesting... LOL!!

Today I am making the call to cancel our Dish!!!  Hello limited basic cable!!!  LOL!!!

ALL THREE of my kids walked right by the empty trash cans at the curb yesterday after school... do you think any one of them grabbed one and pulled them around the house???  NOPE!!!  AND, looking around this morning...   chores NOT done properly!!!  Oh yes....  changes are needed!!! 

My kids have off school ALL week next week...  They are in for a real treat!!!  (Insert evil laugh here)

Ok... time to get moving on the "getting Nathan to school" battle!  Oh joy!!

On a positive note... the sun should be back tomorrow!!!
