Yawn and Gravy

Eva Yawning

I am tired.

The good kind of tired.
Busy getting ready to feed the entire family kind of tired.

I think have everything I need for tomorrow.
I hope.

I underestimated the size of turkey I needed...
I rushed out tonight and bought a supplemental turkey breast.
I think that will make it all okay.

It took three grocery stores to find one.
I felt kinship with the other last minute shoppers.
Rush in and look at the depleted shelves in hope and desperation.

I also bought a crate of clementines at the first store.
They were half gone by the time we made it home.
Eva helped... a tiny bit.

I am sure it will be worse tomorrow.
So I am REALLY hoping I thought of everything.
But I think we might be running low on milk as I type this.

I can't wait for my post Thanksgiving dinner nap.
Is that a tradition for everyone else too?

Nap and then pie.
What a great sentence that is.

That is one of the many reasons I love Thanksgiving.
You eat until you can eat no more...
and then you nap.

And then there is mashed potatoes and gravy...
oh I love those.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVE!

Black and White Wednesday  and then, she {snapped}

Love that picture!

I'm tired too - - - the "middle of the night but I'm afraid to go back to sleep for fear I'll return to the SAME someone is chasing me forever trying to kill me" nightmare I just left.

Man - - - - I want to go back to sleep!

Enjoy your day...especially the naps and the pies! We're celebrating Friday so the newlyweds can enjoy his family on Thursday. Sweet shot ~ and I confess to yawning when I first saw it. Is it possible that even photographed yawns are contageous??
