Firstly, wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

And....never again will I let that third bedroom turn into an "everything" room....my stepson fresh off his last deployment, his wife and 2 year old son and 7 month old baby girl will arrive soon I hope...yes, I am ready...yes I killed my back with this getting ready...from now on I will keep a cleaner house....this is a second marriage for hubby and I and we have step children, but all those grand babies are OURS....LOLOLOL!!!!!

Hope Gramma Bonnie can walk by the time they arrive...hahahahahahahaha...so...putting this down publicly...I will keep my house better cleaned (although I would rather do fencing...building chicken coops...trimming sheep hooves....I will do this...and this coming year I will quit smoking...may kill me...so many attempts almost did...LOLOLOL...but I will do it.

Okay...putting this up here so that I can't back down on my two big plans....LOLOLOLOL

Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hope you are feeling great to enjoy your family.

Oh Bon.... big mistake... WE WILL HOLD YOU TO THIS!!! not really..

Grandbabies will make everything okay... so I've been told. I hope you have a great time with your family.

I am right there with you when you say I would much rather be building chicken coops, fixing fences, tending to the garden, driving a tractor, walking the dogs, feeding animals, even cleaning up animal poop than cleaning a house. I've started paying my kids and their friends to clean the house and I spend all my time out with the animals.

Good luck with your resolutions though, I wish you the best.

Those sound like two really good resolutions.

Have a wonderful visit with your family and ENJOY!

I had 3 sons, their wives, and their 5 kids show up for a week last July.

On day 3, I gave 'em keys to the house and wife and I went to a motel to lay around the pool and sleep late in peace and quiet.

Fish and guests should be thrown out after 3 days--W.C. Fields.

Hey, good for you Bonnie! Must feel great to have that done! Have a wonderful time with your guests and I hope it's a great Thanksgiving for you and your husband .

When you get ready for the quitting smoking, lets talk. I quit November 18, 2007 at 7:30 in the morning. I was smoking 2 packs a day...... I still think it was a miracle .

You go Bon! Hope you have a wonderful restful Thanksgiving with your family, after all your hard work! And we're all here for you to help you through your resolutions

Happy Thanksgiving! The only help I can give on inspiration for keeping things hoed out is to watch "Hoarders". I go on a frenzy of pitching out stuff everytime I see it

And I'm with Remuda on the quitting smoking (13 years for me on Nov 1)--maybe we should have a "quit" thread after the holidays! If I can do it, anyone can--think it all boils down to the head games you play with yourself to enable yourself to keep doing it.

I don't think I will ever be able to keep the house clean. There are too many fun things to do.
