Surreal Thanksgiving

I'm falling behind on posts....

We had a surreal Thanksgiving. Not really the highest thing on my list to have! :)

We spent Thanksgiving day with my husband's mother and her family. For some reason she decided to invite my husband's coworker/roommate - who I had never met. [This is the guy who was conspiring with Dh when he decided to leave and who happily encouraged him in that endeavor]. The roommate is also one of those really negative, sarcastic people who never says anything that isn't nasty - he had made some really not-nice comments whenever I was on the phone with my husband while the roommate was around. And, in person, he turned out to be ever bit as rude and unkind as I expected, unfortunately. [I had hoped I was wrong and just being paranoid and he'd turn out to be much nicer than I expected....but no, I wasn't wrong].

To say it was uncomfortable is an understatement. Bleh.

Then on Saturday we had Thanksgiving with my parents and my sister and brother and his girlfriend. THAT was the day I was looking forward to, but then I wasn't allowed to bring my husband with me and the kids. Which was also very uncomfortable. My brother is still very upset over what happened [and I totally understand why] and he didn't feel ready to hang out with my husband yet. [He does support us getting back together though, very strongly]. But of course that hurt my husband's feelings.

The only saving grace was that my brother smoked a turkey and a ham and those were the best pieces of food I have ever eaten in my life - they were so delicious that they defy description!

But, overall, it was really an uncomfortable, bizarre holiday. I'm glad its over. :)
