When are you coming home for Thanksgiving? Does G want to stay over? He can use H’s room. When is S coming home? When is anyone coming home? Who is going to come home? Where is everyone? Who is going to do all the cooking and cleaning? Who is going to paint the living room and kitchen before Thursday? I am canceling Thanksgiving.

Oh, man! I would LOVE to cancel some holidays. May I borrow your mom?

You might want to arrive early to make sure mom doesn’t overdo at the bar. Also consider serving valium gravy. My mom seems to really like it and it makes her forget I’m “still” single.

I feel like I’ve had conversations with my MIL that have gone just like this…
November 24, 2009 at 4:30 pm
So funny.

Sounds exactly like my mom. Have a nice Thanksgiving!

I just read this one to my mother and she told me to hang it on the wall. =)

Valium Gravy! I love it. Please post the recipe!
