Down memory lane

chapter one

Thanksgiving is usually simply holiday never fancy , we don't have a big family, it's usually just mom and me but this year is different. We don't put up a tree or decorated it or watch  big macy parade or listen to Christmas music, no we just drink few beers watch football if mom is up to it she cook small turkey; mom is not big cook in fact. My chocolate lab Hersey won't even eat mom's cooking so usually mom just order takeout like pizza. it's sad to say thanksgiving is just another  day as a kid I use to ask mom mom how come we don't celebrate it and she will say I don't know I just don't feel like it mayb next year we will but we never did ..i never complain at least I wasn't force to eat seconds helping of turkey for next three days mom bad at cooking so mayb good the house didn't burn down n but this year she wanted to be different like little extra I don't know why what gotten into mom all suddenly for a year or several months. I can say now we have small family only mom , me , my step dad and his two daughters. Where my dad well my dad wasn't in my life I haven't seen since I was 8 mom had me at young age n so dad was young at first they try Co parenting but it wasn't working out at first dad never kept up with his promises. i probably seen once or three times  for my birthday but after that it was lost cause at first I was angry very angry but eventually I knew it wasn't mom fault he wasn't coming back he cheated he started a little family of his own he was with that woman now for few years now .. plus I learn to deal without dad being around one night while mom was out of town on a date . I snoop into my mom room looking for vape pen she didnt used but she had extra just laying around I just happen to grab one was hooked on one ever since but mom didn't know so once night while looking though her dresser draws found her dairy when thy was in high school she n him wrote real letters n she wrote bout it ..All the way to the time I was born well now I'm going to high school 9grade to be exact ..I didn't know why she kept them but they was folded into tiny pieces of paper in recipe box I just read a few because reading what love my mom had for dad his bad handwriting just gave me gross groosebumps so didn't matter ..well this year mom decided to had a small party which was wierd she invited her sister to make turkey ..my step dad was in the kitchen watching the game suddenly the smoke alarm went off my stepdad rushed to calm down the sounds throughout the house you could smell it getting Smokey. the door bell rang I ran downstairs mom was screaming oh no thy is here nothing is done ..it's ok my aunt was saying we can order pizza and wings before game comes on no need to worry she offered
Well she was politely trying to say we going to starve if we don't I mean we got pies and ice cream and biscuits some good stuff my aunt brought over and made herself but that wasn't major food or meals just few side dishes like yams cranberry sauce greens beans wrapped with bacon and whole corn as well ham other then that mom thought with few tips from YouTube she could handle it but ended up ruining things more then she hoped now smoke alarm was glaring you out your sleep well my from my room
No my mom was saying Mickey can you get that for me !!! Sure mom I yell back it completely loud between mom taking smoke alarms going off my step dad yelling at the tv and Christmas music yes Christmas music going off I hoped deep down we wasn't eating that .. everyone knew deep down my mom couldn't cook maybe bake cookies and pies not cook The bell was ringing oh mickey can u please get the door please she shouted again a as she try putting out the smoke alarm sure mom I said laughing sorry I got struck looking at tv hoping my football team won so I can win the bet against my stepdad so he can give me $200 . I went to answer the door who is it no one answer except rang door again I was going to walk away then I saw who it was when I looked out the window it was snowing outside
