Even though I'm not making a gratitude list, I am grateful for those of you who have emailed me privately to tell me that your Thanksgiving will be worse than mine. It puts things into perspective. ;-)
ANd thanks for the encouragement. I'm not really feeling ungrateful, just not interested in drama, which holidays often bring.
Kari posted her gratitude list yesterday. She didn't mention by name her own mother, who carried her for 9 long months in her own womb and who gave birth to her, painfully and arduously. Nor did she mention me, her BFF, who gets up every morning to take her to work out but she mentioned my husband by name who continues to fatten her up. So yes, her mom and I have been giving her crap.
She's trying to say that I was included in the first bullet point that included nearly everyone she knows and that her mother is supposed to be happy with being included as one of the 25 people coming to her house for Thanksgiving Dinner. WE aren't buying it or accepting it.
ANd for that reason I'm not going to write a list. I'll leave someone out and then they'll be rude like me and give me crap and ... yeah... not worth the effort.
But I am grateful for lots of stuff.
And by the way. Kari's story about this morning? A complete lie. I don't know where she comes up with this stuff.

Very well spoken, Claudia. The ingratitude of my daughter shocks me. I raised her better than that!
Just so you know, I am thankful for you!
Oh, quit fighting like a bunch of turkeys. :)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
