Nov 23..The night before indigestion

I am taking a break. We ...my husband and I went shopping today for tomorrow's feast. I just know I have to run to the store for something I forgot tomorrow. It always happens. I wanted to go out to eat but he said "Think about the kids and what they think about thanksgiving and the memories they will have about you"...okay okay pass on the guilt. There will just be us four unless Walts daughter Chelsey comes over with the baby. But who really knows. I will cook because I have fond memories of my mother in the kitchen no matter what on Thanksgiving. The smells were the best. Now our kitchen is much smaller than the one in my old house but I will make it work. I hope my son who is in boot camp is surviving today in the cold Missouri weather. I hope he gets fed. As for my daughter C (okay I think I am going to use initials from now on...I dont know why ..it just seems safer for some reason).. well who knows if she will call home tomorrow since she did the the "Feel sorry for me because everything and everyone is to blame for me being irresponsible" act. I set her straight when she asked for money to tow her car from San Diego to Los Angeles. Why didnt I give her the $500 you ask. Because this is not the first time. She has accumulated $1500 in parking tickets. And come to find out she is taking a year off of school. But she didnt think about her car when she drove her and her friends to party there. She didnt think of money when she took her boyfriend and his buddies to a birthday bash for him at an italian resturant last week. She pays no rent, works a full time job and always is buying expensive stuff for her and her boyfriend. I told her to call her dad who by the way can afford it and more. She doesnt want to do that because she pissed him off ...regards to money again. She is just too irresponsible and I am not going to feed into it. She is an adult and she needs to start acting like one. I have bailed her out of more stuff than any parent should. She has no respect for money and I just might as well open my accounts up to her so she can bleed me dry. Yep I just hope one day when my children have children they will see its no day in the park at times. Oh we have good times but its like a couple of them just think I am an endless checkbook. And its not a $100 bucks its always $500 and over. Nope not again. Please wait until I die and then you will know what you missed. So on that note ... I am going to be thankful because it could always be worse. She is healthy and thats what counts. I love her but not some of her ways. Have a happy one people no matter what.
