I'm cooking for 13. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with the little marshmallows on top, some white potatoes for those who don't like sweet, broccoli and asparagus. My mom is making a pumpkin pie and my daughter is baking a carrot cake.

Of course, just to add to the excitement, the valve on my refrigerator's icemaker broke, and I came downstairs to water everywhere this morning. I can't tell you what a mess I have right now, not to mention that the wood floor in my dining room is soaked, which I'm pretty sure does not bode well for its future.

But, it wouldn't be the Babe household if chaos didn't reign in one form or another!!!
