Three days till Thanksgiving

Nov 25 2008

Long day today. I finished my sewing project and delivered it to customer. I thank God for the ability he gave me to sew and make extra money. I don't know what I would do without it. Mom had a pretty good day, Chuck made all the cornbread for my dressing. I have to make 5 pans this year. This is a sad time, Brian has lost 2 friends this month, both deaths were related to alcohol and drugs. Both so young.

I hope my back holds up through the holidays. I will be getting an epidural in my neck on the 11th . Then a pain block on the 16th for my lower back. Maybe that will hold me for a while.

I have never written is a diary so I don't quite know what to write. Guess I will get better at it.

Mom's really antsy tonight , pacing from her room to the kitchen and back. Guess I will give her something to sleep, hope she stays in bed tonight.

What a good day we had today!! All my kids and grandkids together, plus it is my oldest granddaughter's 17th birthday.
With my daughter-in-laws folks there were I think 19 of us.
We all cooked some, so no one had to do it all. Good time had by all. Mom really had a good day. She ate 4 of Annette's fried pies! The when we got home I fixed the water in the sink and mom washed what dishes were left.
