Late

I know, I know.  It's late.  But I decided to go ahead and post my blog tonight because... well... I'm afraid if I don't, I will forget and not post any this week!  I just posted a short blog that I somehow forgot to post the other day.  The other thing I forgot?  I've not been posting my food!  :O  I know, I'm BAD!  But I just haven't felt good or had time.  Yesterday was NO GOOD.  We were all just big sloths.  Basically ALL of us spent the day napping and watching TV.  We all just felt horribly tired.  We didn't feel sick or anything... just TIRED.  Oh, and I got my period early, too, and I've felt TERRIBLE.  I woke up in SO much pain the first day I just felt like dying.  I kept taking Ibuprofen until it let up.  I think I took 4.  That would be 800mg!  That's basically prescription strength!  It kept up like that for two days, so the weekend was no fun for me.  I finally got up off of the couch and did pick up a bit and ran the dishwasher, but that is about it.

Today has been MUCH better!  I haven't done a ton, but I HAVE gotten my dinner list together and pretty much decided on food.  The only thing I am going on about it whether or not I should make the dried apple stack cake.  I had originally thought, no.  But now I am thinking maybe...  The hubb's family sorta wants one, but dang if it isn't a ton of work to make them and I don't really want to make it for them!  I know that is horrid of me and I should just suck it up, but they annoy me.  UGH.  I need to decide tomorrow what I am going to do.  Apple stack cakes need to sit for at least two days to be truly good.  So, I would need to make it Tuesday in the AM.  There are so many layers (I do between 7 and 9) to make and layer plus the filling.  UGH.  Then it needs to sit so that the cake absorbs some of the juices from the apples.  I should make one just so they will get that I DO know how to cook.  They act like I am incapable of doing anything!  Drives me BONKERS.  Aargh!

This week, like many people's, is going to be VERY busy.  Since we're going to be at his fam's house on Thursday, we're doing my fam's here on Friday and decorating for Christmas.  I HOPE it will be fun.  Anyways, so I will need to do the majority of my cooking on Wednesday.  Mostly the dressing and the desserts.  That way Friday, the only thing in the oven will be the turkey and then whatever food needs to be re-warmed.  We're not doing a HUGE meal this year, so it should be good.  I just need to decide on desserts... pumpkin pie and apple stack cake?  Or pound cake?  Or chocolate pie?  I just don't know what to do...  UGH.  Tradition hasn't happened in a while... but my Granny always did pumpkin pie and something else.  I like the idea of pound cake because it's different... but my Mom wants chocolate cake... AARGH!  I don't know what to make...  I think I may do the chocolate cake.  Everyone likes chocolate cake.  And I can make pound cake anytime.  Maybe I WILL make the apple stack cake for the in-laws...

GAH!  Just realized it is now 12 and I need to be getting to bed!  6AM comes EARLY and I've done NO prep for the AM!  :O  Not sure when I will write again... I hope to tomorrow but I guess we will see.  If not, Happy Thanksgiving to all you wonderful ladies out there!
