Around here

 Thanksgiving lunch at Cathy's
We had a whole flock of turkeys this year!

At home, Zep is playing the pitiful puppy card, licking her sad empty bowl for those few remaining morsels of flavor...

 Well, no one would pass up taking this shot, OMG, look how freaking CUTE she is. 
 In her little bed, I call it her puppy bucket.  She has been sleeping out of the kennel some nights, that's going well as far as house training, but I have a hard time sleeping if something is walking around in my room-or, on me as the case sometimes is.
And, pre-marked for his birthday in less than 2 weeks, Ben has SHOT up in the past 2 months and is now almost 2 inches taller than Jake was on his 11th birthday.  Chan is now an inch taller than me, putting her at 5' 7, she outweighs Ben by a pound.

I need to get new shoes and clothes for all 3 kids, got the news yesterday that Matt is going to have to take unpaid leave at Christmas and the van has a rear tire that will have to be replaced before we go anywhere.  We have two different family dinners at the same time in two different towns on Thursday, with full expectations from both sides that we WILL be there.

'Tis the season. 
To be freaking stressed over crap.
