thanksgiving family dysFUNction

I feel like a lazy, beached whale today.

I ate too much food last night, along with a few glasses of wine...

then came home to have two of my aunt's amazing cream cheese brownies.

Today, I've had all kinds of leftovers (mostly carbs), two pieces of another aunt's

wonderful apple spice cake that went perfectly with morning coffee,

movie popcorn (I saw The Muppets!), and some M&M's.

Can you tell I've fallen off the Healthy Food Wagon?

 

So, yesterday we had Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house.

She lives in a small townhouse and there were 17 people and 3 dogs.

One dog pooped in the floor because she was nervous.

Another dog bumped into the table and knocked over the red wine,

which landed on the cream-colored carpet.

My 91-year old great aunt, who has dementia started

freaking out and shaking and demanded she wanted to go home.

Just another family holiday.

The 3 famous bad dogs

(the ones with four legs and fur).

OK, that was really bad. I think I've all the carbs have gone to my head.

My mom has a knife and she knows how to use it!

Recipe for a happy family Thanksgiving:

Take unresolved issues and soak in alcohol.
