Flyying Colours – Long Holiday

While I was at work today, my husband went to pick up our son from college for Thanksgiving vacation. I got home expecting to see him but he was already out with a friend. Ah, the freshman home for the first long holiday weekend.

It is looking like it will be a pretty low-key visit. The friend he was out with earlier is working at a big box store and consequently has to work tomorrow and Black Friday, and I’m guessing Saturday too.

I am ready for Thanksgiving but I am not ready for it to be Christmas shopping season. Thanksgiving is early this year but it feels like it was just Halloween. There is so much that needs to be done before Christmas and it seems unlikely it will all happen.

For now, I am going to delight in not setting an alarm for the next few days and spending time with the kids.
