Sunday, usually the day of fun. Husband has to work, the restaurant is implementing a new menu and he has to program the computer and then make sure staff is all up to par. I helped out in the restaurant on Friday morning, it was a lot of fun. I had forgotten how much I did enjoy working in a restaurant.

Talking to people, making sure everyone is happy. I actually always enjoyed waiting tables, believe me sometimes you don't want to listen to customers but overall I did enjoy it very much. I am missing our Sunday together, but it will be worth it because he has his birthday off on Tuesday. I have to work Tuesday day but we have the evening.

Thanksgiving is over, and soon will be starting to decorate for Christmas. It was so nice to have my family here, I was kind of a b**** stressing about if my family is having fun, and then what they will do to embarrass me or get me in trouble at work. We are not the quietest people in the world.

It was fine, I just was such a stess monster, I could not truly enjoy my family. It is overwhelming with all of them here, could not really get any quality time. They seemed to love the hotel and are making plans to come back in smaller numbers and enjoy the area. My sisters are coming in February, and my cousin and her husband too. That will be more manageable and not a holiday.

Mom is coming for the First Night celebration along with a good friend of mine, looking forward to Christmas Eve, my in-laws are coming, which makes me so happy, for my husband. I feel guilty my family does get most of the holidays and other events. He is working and will come home change and go back to work, it is a long weekend for him, work wise.

Why do I stress myself? When my sisters entertain at their houses, it seems so easy and everyone flows, I act like a crazy person... I am so not Martha Stewart, not even close, I can handle weddings for hundreds of people, and make it go so smootly, but my family comes and I act like I have no clue how to handle large groups.

I have always felt like and outsider within my family, which was a long time ago? Why do we all fall back into our roles growing up when we are all together, even though we are all married most with kids of our ownm, but put us all together, I revert back to being the youngest, am I the only one?

I am stressing about Thanksgiving, my whole family is coming, even my dad and mom and their spouses. My mom's husband wishes he and my dad went to school together, they get along famously.

We are all eating at the Inn tomorrow afternoon, and the husband is working tonight and I am missing him more than anything, he has been good for the last week and half. He has been so sick for almost 4 weeks, he lost about 25-30lbs. Which makes me happy for him, but jealous for me, but after what he went through I would never want to lose it his way.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving.

It is only a few days until Thanksgiving, I am excited and stressing about the fact my family is coming up for the holiday. We went shopping yesterday, and bought stuff for our place, I do not want my sisters to think we still live as if we are in college.

All these moves in the many years, make it easier never to really get settled in, but we have decided to stay put if possible for a while. We both like Wolfeboro and NH, and as long as we can keep our jobs, we will be here. Right now it is cold and chilly, I think it is going to snow, for work I think we need it to snow. On the other hand I am not ready for snow.


We set up all the furniture today, cleaned the house, still need to clean the bathroom and kitchen, which since the husband has Tuesday of he can do that tomorrow. I want everything to go well this week.

Reality TV:

Cake Boss- I really enjoy Buddy and his crew, they really are a true team. Today, I watched one with a "Bridzilla" named Allison she was awful, how disrespectful to destroy the cake that he worked so hard on for you, then when in 24 hours, he made a new cake, and delivered it himself she was even more of a bitch to him upon the delivery. How does any person feel it is ok, to treat another person so awful? Especially a professional.

Real Housewives of OC: I am upset that Jeanna is leaving but the way Vicki has treated her, is so awful that Jeanna is hit by the economy hard? You act as if you are all sweet and nice but you really are awful to drop a friend of lack of funds and what the hell is going on with Tamara and Gretchen? What does Gretchen do to make money? It is not as if her Yard Sale made any money.
Tamara believe me it is hard to give up a house you worked hard for, but living simply is so much better than stressing about making your next mortgage payment, we all understand in this economy it is tough.

Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe and Kim make the best TV, are they for real?

I do want to see "Lawman" just because it is Steven Seagal what the hell is that?

Say Yes to the Dress: What was with the girl who tried on over 100 dresses and wanted to try 40 in one day is she just that undecisive? Sometimes brides have no idea that too many choices is not always for the best, why do you not trust your own opinion? That you have to give all these choices?

Well, my poor husband has been sick for 3 weeks, not H1N1, something else and no one at the hospital could help us, so went to a doctor on Wednesday, still waiting for results. HELLO!! He has not eaten since Wednesday and can't even keep fluids down, do they even care? Yesterday and Today, seem to be good days, only time will tell if he has finally taken a good turn. I have been stressing and so worried about him.

We have no insurance, due to the cost, then this morning I see the House has passed the bill 220-215, and now it is on to the Senate, I am not sure that is the best either that the government is taking over health care. When I was in London in 1987, my boyfriend (Todd) got hit by a car and we had to go to the hospital, it was scary and uninformative, it really was like all those WWII black/white movies I had seen about London. They have national health care, and I was not impressed, so I guess we have to wait and see what happens.

Also, when are we going to be able to see the bill passes, all of it so we can see what the crooked politicians are really trying to pass, are they doing this so quickly due to the fact that on Tuesday, America spoke and voted GOP, which even though I am a Republican I am not naive enough to think it was for the GOP as it was against Obama's presidency up to this point.

Then again are these new politicians going to really make a difference? Part of me thinks the two party system needs to go away and we really need people in there who are the "people" not the boys/girls groomed since they were little to be a politician like Dodd, Kennedy etc. you know what I mean.

I so worry about this country, my gosh Fort Hood, Orlando in the last two days, just people having no respect for life, its heart breaking to think they have no problem hurting people just working and going on with their lives, because you don't like something or you took it way to personally. What is this country coming to? We have enough enemies against the USA then to start killing from within our borders.
