Pray for me this weekend...

as I will be going to an early thanksgiving dinner with the husband's side of the family. The sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach is growing as we speak. Mother-in-law isn't bad, neither is my husband's sister. I'm hoping that the sister's husband will be there... he is a huge dorky guy (Huge in the Henry Rollins look-alike sense) and much fun no matter what the surroundings. If all goes as imagined, I predict husband, sister, sister's husband and myself hiding in a corner trying to stay sane. We'll see. I just have to make it through Saturday and some of Sunday, and then I can come home. I wonder if this is how the significant Other feels when we go to see my family? I could almost pity him, but that I think my family is much more fun than his. So if you kids plan to have fun this weekend without me, observe a moment of silence for yours truly. And while you're doing that, also pray that they have something to drink there besides beer, so I can get faced and pass the time faster.
