Thread Name: Happy Thanksgiving...
Subject: RE: Happy Thanksgiving...
I am so low at the moment.
I miss my kids.
I miss my Mom and siblings, aunts and uncles and cousins.
I miss Virginia countryside and Virginia accents.
I miss cleaning, polishing, prepping, cooking, laughing and singing Christmas carols early.
I miss the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I miss shouting at my children to stop fighting over the TV remote.
I miss grumbling under my breath at unhelpful (now ex) spouse.
I miss pumpkin pie.
I miss planning the next few meals with the leftovers.
I miss rearranging the furniture to accommodate the Christmas tree while I have family in the house to help me do it.
I miss getting the Christmas decorations out of storage and remembering over each ornament.
I will miss spending the Sunday afternoon doing all the Christmas cards so they are ready to go in 2 weeks time.
All of it I miss, but nothing like I miss my kids.
