10 am, the house is waking up for Turkey Day. We traditionally have our dinner later in the day. Once at midnight 😬. In more recent years we have scheduled our dinner late so we could have Jessalynn after she went to the Fitzgerald TG at noon. This year it is also to accommodate Robby having an earlier dinner with his father.
Jess was excited we would finally have Lindsey for TG but I doubt she is coming. That's sad and that story doesn't belong here.
Thanksgiving. I am Thankful to be alive for this one. I am thankful that our family will come together today. I am thankful Jeanette has recovered from her burns and has found a home. I'm thankful that Jessica seems happier than she was for years. I am thankful that Jeremy has so far survived his medical issues and that it feels like everyone is trying to help him cope with his mental issues. I am thankful Jami is still alive. I hope she comes today!
This is our first Thanksgiving without Kirk but we often still feel his presence and I bet he is here today. Love you Kirk!!
Laughary, Ketterman, Fitzgerald, Belk, Mundell, Avant.
Family.
NEXT DAY
TG went well but I feel like I missed the main part when I left to pick up Shy. Jenise, Taylor and Robby left while I was gone ðŸ˜. Then, after, Riley came to me crying saying he'd called Nett to pick him up. He wouldn't talk to me so I went to Jazz and Shy. They said they didn't know what was going on but then I got a text from Nett saying Riley told her the girls were teasing him about a photo. When I showed them the text they Knew, Shy said it was all her, not Jazz, and that she didn't mean to hurt him. She did they to apologize but he told her to Go Away. I HATE this ending to our TG Day!!
Also, Jeanette was very upset with Robby and i walked into a conversation between them in the kitchen. Nett was clearly very hurt about something Robby had said/done and when I tried to intervene I was ignored ~ I couldn't stop it.
Yes, lots of family disputes happen on holidays, but I had High Hopes this would NOT happen.
Jami didn't make it. Earlier she had called me and after we said Good bye I could still hear what was going on and I eavesdropped on them. I heard Mike yelling at and berating Jami in q horrific degrading way and it sounded like he was getting physical when the call was disconnected. She called later, Breezy had picked her up and she was at Pam's. She said she didn't want me to get her, said she was beat up and unpresentable, and I left her there.
Jeanette came very late with the Turkey, I think dinner didn't start until around 9, and things were over cooked and dry from waiting on the Turkey. Still, it was a good dinner I just wish Jenise hadn't left while i was gone ðŸ˜, I'm wondering if she did it to get Robby out of the line of fire????
I hope this wasn't my last Thanksgiving!!
I looked around at all of it and put a Shout Out to Jeremy on Facebook. He works all day to make these holiday events and seems to get so little credit! I Can't do it any more. Jeanette has tried to take over but this year her home isn't put together yet so it was here.
I'm hoping to reach out to Robby and Riley and try to fix/help them.
