One last gathering ~ Winner winner chicken dinner

When I went to feed Tiger yesterday morning, I noticed the bucket gone from my utility room. My first thought?  Oh no.  My youngest is sick now. By 2pm, she had not come downstairs so I tip-toed up the stairs and took a look.  She was sound asleep.

Christmas had me all discombobulated, ha ha!  I woke up thinking it was Wednesday and it was Thursday.  Only one more holiday and I can get back to my "to-do" list and recoup.

My phone was blowing up too.  Apparently, Hubby's family wanted one last get together before one family returns to GA.  Gah!  They asked us to host.  Double Gah!  Hubby said no way, ha ha!  

Even though I am tired of cooking and baking, I whipped up a breakfast scramble with bacon and dandelion greens.  We all could use a dose of detox and nourishment.  I had a lot of dishes to wash, so I thought why not dirty some more.

Within a short time, the family decided to do a "taco" dinner night (Hubby's family).  I am just thankful someone else hosted it. 

Jesse (aka "tater tot") table surfed for the first time ever.  It was chicken of all things.  He does love chicken.  Oye.  We have no idea why after all these years, and he had been fed just prior to that.  I guess we'll have to make sure food is put up from now on.  

Gift and Tidbits

Here is what I received for our 20th anniversary.  Hubby surprised me with this beautiful necklace.

I also got a dozen roses.  We plan to celebrate when he is off work.  Or can get work off.

Update on our sick daughter.  She did not go to the ER, but I am pretty sure she caught the actual flu - body aches, vomiting, headache, fever etc.  A friend of hers checked in on her, bringing her broth, and other "clear" foods.  Her brother also kept an eye on her, and she was able to get her work shift covered for a day of rest home in bed.

In the meantime, because she was over at our place on the 23rd, I've been sanitizing, and wiping everything people may have touched.  I'm even watching sofa blankets, as she stayed the night too.  We are doing preventative measures as well, with 4 Thieves vinegar, teas etc.

We don't have to worry about dinner prep for a few days.  We have a ton of leftovers and even breakfast from Christmas morning.  Although Hubby forgot to take a plate of goodies to work, he went with breakfast and lunch already made too.
