Counting down to the big day! As of yesterday, I think I have all of our ingredients. (Assuming my neighbor brings back the ground ginger she borrowed last night, but I'm not too worried--I know where she lives!)
My poor mom is really disappointed about not going to Florida. I think it's worse because of my grandma's NPH, which is progressing slowly but surely. So for every holiday, my mom is like "This may be her last __________," which makes it even suckier to miss it. I'm going to drive up there Thanksgiving morning, after breakfast, to hang out with her for a few hours before I do Thanksgiving at home. (I can't even bring her Thanksgiving dinner, because she is still on her bland GI diet. Her antibiotic is a 30-day course!)
Wooz is off tomorrow, so she and DH are doing a daddy-daughter day. So far it's pottery painting and lunch. I'm just glad it's one less kid to get up, dressed, and out the door tomorrow. S/O Wooz, since we're in town, we told her she could have a sleepover with one of her besties Friday night. Then in the past 24 hours, we've gotten play date requests for Saturday and Sunday. That girl is going to be busy this weekend.
