Well, I (Deesha) am in the airport TGIFriday’s sipping blackberry mojitos waiting to board a flight to spend Thanksgiving and a long weekend with my fiance JB, my future bonus daughters, and extended family.  JB’s done most of the shopping and is cooking the turkey, one bonus daughter has baked a cake,  and I’m happily doing the rest.

Last year this time, JB, our four girls, and I spent four days at an indoor waterpark and lodge.  It was non-traditional fun, but we still feasted in style on Thanksgiving Day.

Our co-parenting and holiday plan: Mike and I alternate Thanksgiving with the girls.  So this year they will be with him, his wife Sherry, and extended family.

In the spirit of lowercase-r thanksgiving, I’m re-posting What I’m Thankful For: A Co-Parenting Challenge.

Cheers!
