I am thankful for:
- Brownies with raspberries and homemade whipped cream
- Eating dessert while I type
- Green bean casserole
- Gravy
- Gravy
- Gravy
- Babies that take naps, even when they really don’t want to
- A pre-cooked turkey
- Leftovers
- The smell of stock simmering on the stove
- Guests (and husbands) that go to the movies, leaving me and my babyface to get the kitchen cleaned up without interference
- A relaxing after-Thanksgiving afternoon
I could do without:
- The fact that babyproof doorknob covers don’t actually work unless you CLOSE the door
- The occurrence of people standing twelve inches away from me while I try to make mashed potatoes
- The fact that my pre-cooked turkey took more than twice as long as expected to heat up, making it late to the table, like every single year (that is why I bought the pre-cooked turkey this year!)
- Mushy stuffing
- Cleaning up the kitchen
