Two days until Thanksgiving. My to do list is growing exponentially, and I’m starting to panic. Since Tuesday is also the day for visiting Mom, I’m enlisting her in the action. Here’s what’s on the docket:
- Pick up Mom for dentist appointment at 10:00
- Stop back at brother’s house to pick up Mom’s suitcase
- Lunch somewhere fun
- Drive to Boone
- Stop at grocery store to pick up mince for pie
- Drive to Frasier to drop off Mom’s old metal kitchen stool at the sandblaster
- Listen to Mom tell stories about the old stool while we drive
- Bring Mom home for a nap before Judge Judy
- Watch Judge Judy
- Make Mom’s famous Chex Mix after Judge Judy
- Listen to Mom tell about getting the recipe for her famous Chex Mix while she watches me make it
- Fix supper
- Eat supper before Wheel of Fortune
- Watch Wheel of Fortune
- Listen to Mom tell Hiram that in the morning we’re making mince pie for Thanksgiving, but that there probably won’t be enough for him
- Play a couple rounds of Uno with Mom and listen to her tell Hiram that we made Chex Mix earlier in the day, but that there probably won’t be enough for him
- Say good night to Mom and remind her to get up early tomorrow to help make pies
- Set out the lard to soften for making pie crust in the morning
- Look forward to tomorrow and our drive to my sister’s house in Minnesota for Thanksgiving
Sure glad Mom will be here to help. No way could I get all this done without her.
