It's not pretty.
I'm throwing a Thanksgiving for sixteen tomorrow.
And my kitchen looks like I've already thrown it and also had a bunch of barbarians come in for dessert.
So I'd try to post something witty and pithy today.
But there's flour all over the floor.
And there are two turkeys brining.
Is brining a verb?
Well, it is now. You read it here first.
There are the remnants of the three dozen eggs I boiled and peeled last night.
So it's time for me to get a-crackin'. Because I'm told that kitchen floors shouldn't be crunchy.
But let's indulge in a little verse, shall we?
On the day before Thanksgiving, 1 of 8 said to me,Happy Prepping, y'all!
"Why are there two turkeys?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, 2 of 8 said to me,
"Can you make stuffing that's gluten-free?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, 3 of 8 said to me,
"Why does the whole house have to be cleaned?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, 4 of 8 said to me,
"Why do they call these things table 'leaves'?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, 5 of 8 said to me,
"How does all that turn into gravy?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, 6 of 8 said to me,
"Can I only eat the green beans?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, 7 of 8 said to me,
"Pinch...Bubby....me...."
On the day before Thanksgiving, 8 of 8 said to me,
"Me....Sissy pinch....sorry...."
On the day before Thanksgiving, The Boy said to me,
"Are we going to have that canned jelly cranberry thing?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, Michael said to me,
"Who cares if the kitchen floor is crunchy?"
On the day before Thanksgiving, I whispered to Thee,
"Lord, You are so good, so full of blessing."

Imagining your house right now....imagining how my mother in love is feeling...because they don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in England of course....but since all 9 of us are here....she is trying!! Bless!
Love this post!!! and wow those are some questions LOL
Thanks for making me smile today. I so appreciate it! I especially love Michael's comment. ;)
Best thanksgiving post! The Lord is certainly good. Best of luck with the meal and getting that flour out of the grout :) You have a very sweet husband.
I am hosting too tomorrow. First time and currently the count is at 15!! Muffins are in the oven as I type this... next up cranberry relish!
Yea, Michael! Crunchy floors say a lot about the owners.... (I won't go into details here. Just imagine all good things!)
Enjoy prepping!
So thoughtful to invite the barbarians for dessert the day before Thanksgiving. Perhaps they'll be satisfied and behave nicely on the actual day?
that was wonderful. I'm thankful that I don't have to do anything for the holidays!
