The Thanksgiving That Wasn't

I took a total of three pictures on Thanksgiving.  And none of them are of actual Thanksgiving.  Go figure.

I took one of Jayna and Chris chillin' on the couch in the early morning hours and two of Jayna completely zonked out in the car on the way home.  Truthfully, the zonked out picture says it all.

Thanksgiving seemed a little strange to me this year.  Maybe it was because I felt like hell.  I had a mega-cold and sneezed probably 35 times (not exaggerating) before we even left our house.  Maybe it was because we had the time constraint of a growing 15-month-old.  She took a 2 hour nap on Thursday morning and we though she'd be good until 5 or so.  Nope.  She was ready for a nap at around 2:30pm.  Why was she so sleepy?  That part comes next...I think.

On Thanksgiving day and the day after, Jayna had about 10 dirty diapers...diarrhea.  Fun times.  Poor kid.  Her belly troubles began before she even ate Thanksgiving dinner, but we just thought the ravioli from Wednesday night didn't agree with her.  We were apparently wrong.  Some ravioli doesn't cause severe diarrhea.  She also woke up quite a few times that night.

At around 10:00pm, I was in the same boat as Jayna.  Virus much?  So I slept about 2.5 hours Thanksgiving night.  Chris' parents came over to our house that night instead of us going over there...and good thing.  We probably would've run out of diapers at their house.  And besides that I really felt like dying.  I haven't had a cold this bad in a LONG time.  I just want to sleep.

So all in all, I just didn't feel the Thanksgiving spirit this year.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday...mostly because the only expectations are to eat too much and to make enough to have leftovers for a week.  But this year it just didn't seem so.  Christmas is right around the corner, so we'll try again.

How did y'all fare this Turkey Day??
