Well I really failed NoJoMo this year, it’s been a combination of just way too busy and also I just felt my previous entry was the lamest of all time.  Plus that isn’t the only fail of late, we had a bit of fail on a date night back on Wednesday.  Both Cindi and I had off and had just planned to get the house ready for Thanksgiving dinner the next day when Ella got an offer to stay at her friends.  We jumped at the chance and took advantage of a dinner and movie deal at the local Red Robin. 

Well everything was going great until a bite or two into her burger Cindi realized there was mayo on it and she had said no mayo due to an allergy.  They were great about it and made a new one and took it off the bill but the damage was done.  Granted it wouldn’t show up until half way through the movie, Harry Potter, as digestive system trouble.  Those were enough to kill the mood for later once we got home so no real taking advantage of no kid in the house.

Thanksgiving itself was good with only one minor problem of my mother in law of course having to find a way of controlling the holiday.  This year was about having the dinner moved from 5 until 4 since she had to get up the next morning to walk some dogs she’s taking care of.  My thing is she didn’t have to work otherwise since she drives a school bus and could have gone back to bed after walking the dogs.  But even Cindi realizes it’s not about the time really but about her mother having control.

Then last two days of work have been okay with only problem being exhausted after closing Friday night and not being able to get to sleep.  So Saturday when I had to open I was working on about 3 1/2 hours of sleep and crashed last night.  

That’s all for now, I’ve got to get the family up and moving and then head out to work again.  Have a great day and smile.

Ah Family.

I failed at NJM too due once again to the frantic pace of life 😉 I don’t understand why family members have to control nice events like family gatherings. You must have been overtired to not get to sleep, I know you have a busy life.

Too bad about the mayo 🙁

I’m sorry your date night got ruined, I know how rare those times are. Maybe you can ask the friends if she can stay again, and then you can take their child for a night…trade off so everyone has a chance at a little alone time?
