Thanksgiving at the Longs

I usually write my article about my previous week – but this week I am going to write it about tomorrow.  It is a great day and our family is busy getting ready for it.  We are hosting this year and there is a lot to do.

Grocery Shopping
Get the table ready
Clean and de-clutter the whole house

I would say that everything is half done.  Not bad considering I am writing this on Monday.  Tomorrow I will finish the grocery shopping and get the table ready.  We will finish cleaning on Wednesday.  And then the cooking will begin – that night!

We will make the appetizer and the pies – mmmmmm – the night before so that they are done.

Okay – that is well and good – but what about work?  What about the kids activities?

Honestly – work is getting put on hold this week.  I have so much to do that I can’t think about work right now.  But what about those who HAVE to work?  Really – it is a matter of prioritizing, organizing, keeping things simple and…staying up late to get things done if necessary.

We are trying to de-clutter at the same time – that is an extra step that you don’t need to take.

Remember – Thanksgiving is about family, friends and having a nice time together.  The rest will take care of itself!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
