I'm almost alone and just fine and dandy with it... DH just left to start a new job, so he is out of town. Oldest DD has to work all day and they are having turkey dinner there.
So it is just me and my 8 year old and we are going to have dinner with her best friend and family who I get along with famously.. so although I do have to leave the house, it will be fun.
I don't have to listen to MIL cry about her 50 year old son being gone, or my oldest who is in the Air Force that is never home for the holidays... My SIL who is sweet but she is from Czech Republic and doesn't always fix a traditional Thanksgiving.....and I won't have to hear MIL complain about it... SO yeah..it's not a bad year at all.. although I do feel sorry for DH as he is a little sentimental about these things...

Enjoy every second of your time alone. It's ice cream for dinner time. No, that's for dessert because I just went out and bought some! lolol. My chicken noodle soup is in the pressure cooker as we speak, and I have Talenti gelato for dessert, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup. Tomorrow will be more soup, and I'll make rice pudding in my pressure cooker. Thursday I might make mac and cheese, in my pressure cooker. That will be lunch. Pizza for dinner. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday -- leftover pizza, soup, mac and cheese, and rice pudding. And the other pint of gelato that's in the freezer. Oh, and have I mentioned lately how much I love my pressure cooker? lol

I'm sorry about the circumstances that led to you being alone, but I'm glad it's something you will enjoy. It would be a dream come true for me to be alone all day! Both Thanksgiving and Christmas are very stressful for me. I love my family and DH's family, but all that togetherness is difficult for me as an introvert. I've seriously considered the "sickness" excuse in years past, but I've never done it. I go, smile, enjoy the company, and usually can't wait to get home.

And so many nights I just dream of the ocean. God, I wish I was sailin' again.

I love my 3 small children and my husband, but my fondest wish is that he would take them all somewhere for a week WITHOUT ME! And I could spend a whole glorious week doing whatever I want to do, eating whatever I want to eat, not nagging anybody to do their homework or clean or anything and I can work on all the projects with no interruptions! ENJOY your day! I'm envious! We went on a cruise last month and met two separate women who were married with three young children but cruising alone (not with each other- both were cruising solo) because they "needed to get away by themselves". I was totally fascinated by them.

I might be a teensie bit jealous. I have been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 26 years and while I love it...I wouldn't mind your day either! Enjoy!!
