Thanksgiving Saturday

This Tami Family Thanksgiving Saturday was all about self forgiveness. I forgave myself and didn't worry that my children might be running my relatives ragged with all their little energy. I forgave myself and didn't worry that Emma was cranky most of the day and I let my relatives futilely try to comfort her as I relaxed. I forgave myself and let Micah thoroughly enjoy his Thanksgiving meal by squishing his hands in it, smearing it all over himself and eating as much as he wanted along the way. I forgave myself (and Joel) and didn't worry that Joel wet his pants twice today because he was having so much fun he forgot to go to the bathroom. Really, I felt like one of the men on this holiday. When a kid screamed I wasn't the first to get up. When a diaper needed to be changed I waited for volunteers. I even sat down and watched football with all the fellas (BTW, I cannot believe that Kentucky could not pull out the win against Tennessee and now Georgia won't get to be in the SEC championship game!). I don't plan on being so self-forgiving every year, but man, it was fun this year.
