Thanksgiving this year was already going to be different. The hub, DD3 and DS and his family wont be here. Which was sad, but I was still going to cook for the rest of the crew..but DD1 has volunteered to have it at her house this year. Ummm. It took less than a nano second to accept the offer. DD1 is a coupon and sale queen, so I know she will do this for way less than I could have.
Her husband made the turkey last year- and it was fabulous. So I had already asked him for a repeat. I am sure he will be more at ease cooking it at home. Then, there is all the other prep, cooking a clean up that I did the lions share of last year. I remember being EXHAUSTED when I was done.
So, I will volunteer some $$ towards the food. I will even offer to help with some of the cooking and clean up...but this is an offer too good to refuse! (and, if the noise level gets too high, I can go home!)
I took that Wednesday and Friday off so now I need to think through what I can do with ALL THIS FREE TIME.
I realized today that with the time off planned this month...I work four days next week, three days the following week and two days the week after that. 
I like the sound of that.
SWEET! DD1 has offered to host Thanksgiving dinner this year!
