Happy Thanksgiving

We had our usual gathering at my parents. This year I did all the cooking except the turkey. Everyone raved about my food, especially my Pumpkin and Sausage soup.

I think that was enough cooking to last until the end of the year.

On the bad news part, my Uncle does not look good. He has deteriorated so much in the last week. *sigh* Most of the out of the states relatives are flying in next week to see him, maybe for the last time.

One of my Uncles (He is my Dad's oldest brother) has stage four stomach cancer. He was in a hospital earlier, last week he was released to a nursing home. My cousin was looking for someone to drive my Aunt to see him on weekdays. I volunteered myself, since I am the only stay-at-home person in the family. The time I have to pick her up and drive her back is in the middle of the day, which means I pretty much can't do anything else. I am not complaining, but just didn't realize simply driving back and forth, even though the distance is short, can be so much work.

I am so tired by the time I get home from picking up my son, I just want to sleep. Laundries are piling up; we have been eating take-outs every night. But it is the least I can do to help out.

I am not. Really!?

I am not a violent person, but today something happened in a restaurant. I had a fight with the world's biggest asshole and most arrogant SOB. I never thought I would use violence onto anyone, but I seriously wanted to punch him in the face. I am still sending out evil thoughts onto him, wherever he is.

It must be scarier

This morning around 6, Amber woke up screaming "Spider on my neck! Spider on my neck!" I had to hush her and kept telling her that "Mommy got the spider off". She finally calmed down and I took her into our bed. (John has left for work by then.) She laid there, kept saying, or more to reassure herself that Mommy got the spider and saved her, she felt back to sleep.

Poor Bunny, having spider nightmare, she didn't even have a single candy after we got home from trick or treat. She might end up like her Aunty Kim and forever has a fear for spiders.
