What is FDAD? It’s the other version of Thanksgiving – Family Dysfunction Awareness Day! I know that a few of my friends will enjoy that since they are facing some errr…’challenges’ during this holiday weekend 🙂
I’m trying to take some time to catch up on reading all my favorite blog sites today. It’s literally been about a week since I got to browse. It’s been all I could do to post everyday. Reading and commenting has been out of the question. But, today I finished up what I wanted to do for work and since SportsBoy does not have practice today and does have a friend over to play with, I have a little time to myself. Now, it’s not QUIET time by any stretch. They are up in his room playing NASCAR on the playstation and are laughing and yelling constantly of course. I turned on the radio just to have some other, more enjoyable sound in the house. It’s lovely to read everyone’s Thanksgiving preparations. Given that it is 3:00pm the day before and I only NOW have a moment to myself, I am quite thankful that my preparation consists of making sure I have enough gas in the car to get to my moms :->>
I am already planning what to do for Christmas decorations. I know that with the cats, the only thing I can do inside is the tree and that even that may be an adventure. So, the outside will have to be my focus. I would love love love to trim some trees and bushes before putting things up. However, I am feeling a certain amount of pressure to get it all done this weekend (hmmm..wonder why?) and I don’t know if I can clean before I decorate. *Sigh* The usual dilema: so much to do with so little time available.
Trees & Flowers & Birds! 
There were a number of years, when the cats were kittens, when I did not put breakable ornaments on the tree. Then, there were a number of years, when the kids were kittens, that I did not put breakable ornaments on the tree.
It’s sort of bittersweet to be able to put breakable ornaments on the tree.
