Thanksgiving

Daily writing prompt
What have you been putting off doing? Why?

At this moment I’m procrastinating. I should get my butt in gear and get dressed and put my face on. But I’m relaxing on the couch in my pajamas, doing as little as possible. Just hanging out with Sid. The three big kids (adults) are still sleeping.

It’s the Thanksgiving long weekend here and the weather is being extreme. Yesterday was unusually warm, it got up to plus sixteen degrees Celsius which is very odd for nearly mid October up here. Yet we’re also under a snowfall warning. Temps are cooling down today and we’re supposed to get rain which will turn to snow and they’re forecasting up to 30 cm of it! That’s crazy!

I am cooking a simple Thanksgiving meal today. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and carrots. Oh and Bella-Lena wants Shepherd’s Pie for some reason, which is usually a roast beef accompaniment but whatevs, we’re making it anyway.

Clint’s away right now so it’s just myself and my four kids, which I am enjoying immensely. A very chill weekend. The kids are going to carve pumpkins this afternoon and it’s been forever that they’ve all four been here to do that.

If I had to name one thing I am thankful for, it’s my four kids. I’m so proud of them and love them so much. Words could never express how grateful I am to get to be their Mom.

Taz, Sid, Bella-Lena & I yesterday (Cordelia had to work)
Pisew Falls is beautiful in every season
Crazy warm weather…but, here comes the snow! We’re about to be buried apparently.

      2. It’s a tad early but it is cozy today…staying in, watching the white stuff come down and blow around. Highway is closed so my older daughter is stranded and can’t return to the city down south, which I’m not bummed about πŸ™‚
