OH MY! I'm obsessing. I know it. I feel it. I cannot control it. Deb, will you please be my assistant??? You are party planner extraordinaire! I need you!!!! In fact, you can be Head Party Planner and I will be *your* assistant. Perfect!!

I'm having the Thanksgiving family gathering at our home this year. I've done it before and nearly made myself crazy. Why again? Well, many family issues [both sides] and I refuse to let our family be splintered. So, erect a cross and call me martyr. I stand strongly behind my principles. Well, that said, now I'm obsessing. The food, the table setting, the games, toys for the kids, the people, the house ~ clean enough ~, I want it just right. Not perfect, I'm not that far off in neverland, but I want it good enough. Unfortunately, we're not a close enough family that I can call my sisters-in-law and dish about it. That's what I want..."hey, what about this? I found this! We can play this game...do the kids like this?" Well, that ain't gonna happen. I think everyone comes cuz they HAVE to come, not cuz they're excited to see one another and have a good time.

That's the bottom line, I guess. You know who your friends are cuz they come to your gatherings regardless. They don't have to make Mother & Father happy or fulfill some family obligation. I wish I knew if my family really wanted to be together. How very narcissistic of me, eh? It's not a burden to me...I want to make a happy place where people come and when they leave they look at one another and say, "what a great day!" Aaaand I would LOVE to be relaxed in the process. Is that too much to ask? hahaha

Thanks for listening. ;)

Yes- of course I'll help you! First of all- don't let everyone else suck the fun out of it for you. Once I learned to do/make what I like it got a whole lot easier. Then you're dealing with a sure thing and that has to make for a great time! Don't ask don't tell policies work well....It also helps to have wine, lots of wine...(or in my case anything with vodka...)
