We had a great Thanksgiving. About 8 hours of it was spent on the road, and about 6 of that for me was sleeping. I really wimped out, mostly because of girl-body-stuff, but still - total wimp out! I didn't feel so bad since Shawn took a nap while we were there and I did offer to caffeinate myself vs. giving him the car 2 hours into the drive home. But I think he was sick of my driving, which was pretty shoddy between the fact that I only drive a handful of times a year, it was dark and I forgot my glasses, and I was sleepy.

We both came home rash-covered again. It happens pretty consistently each time we go. It might be the Tide, and, as suggested to us a couple times, it might be bedbugs. Mine is probably an allergic reaction either way since mine reactions are always delayed. But I do have the cluster of three mentioned in the Wiki article, and possibly Sue does not have reactions to them (some people don't). On the other hand, she also uses Tide, and always changes the sheets when we come in case we are staying over, and I know I'm allergic to Tide, and Shawn had never been exposed before, and we were in the bed at midday while bedbugs are nocturnal. Either way, next time we're bringing an air bed or floor mattress!

But the day itself was wonderful. My family is so funny. And talented (we got to see some of Hannah's recent work - wow!). And Shawn & Celest trading shots was a kick.
