Ready to read another column with a touch of humor? Then click here to read "The Obsession" in Sisters in the Lord Magazine. I've had such fun penning these humorous pieces. Hope you smile a time or two!
"Ladies, if you have a guy who helps out all day, maybe even cooks, thank God. They’re few and far between."
Guess what, Donna. I'm married to a man that cooks Thanksgiving dinner and hates sports (accept the kids basketballs games our daughter cheers for). We have a never spoken agreement - he cooks and I clean. It has been this way from the beginning of our relationship. I cook from Monday to Friday, and he takes over the weekends, parties and holidays. He is a great cook, and has even catered fundraisers for our girls' school.
Have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving. This is my favorite holiday.
After reading your article, I see that watching football requires the same effort. The difference is that we ladies have something to SHOW for our effort. :)
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I'd like to add that my father-in-law is a great dish washer. LOL
We had a wonderful time. My brother-in-law and his family, as well as my father and mother-in-law stayed over. My girls and their cousins laughed, played and ate. They always have a good time whenever they're together. It was Thanksgiving for over 30 hours. I even got to see my three sons - they stopped by for the cocktail hour, went to their father's and came back for desert (although, they also ate turkey at my home - LOL). It's always great for me to have my five children in the same place at one time. This is my favorite time of year.

Marilyn, that's wonderful! My husband isn't really so bad as the article implies. *g* I took a bit of artistic license. But he does like football!
ReplyDeleteMay you have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteThat was very good. Brought a smile to my face. Though believe it or not, I am not really that much into football.
Thanks for sharing it!
Be blessed and have a super Thanksgiving my friend!
Writing for the King,

Touché! Yesterday was the first day that I ever did the early morning day-after-Thanksgiving run. I've learned which stores to hit again on the day after Thanksgiving and which ones were a real dissapointment and a waste of time. It IS an art. I think I've figured out that enthusiasm, experience and strategic planning are required in order to do it right. I'm learning.

Paul, thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteEllen, I can't believe you got into that mess. lol! My daughter got up at 5:30 AM to get some good deals. Me? I slept in.
Marilyn, how wonderful to have all five children be with you on Thanksgiving. Truly something to be thankful for. Glad you had a great holiday.
