Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

thirtysomething episode 6

October 20, 2010

I actually made my husband watch this episode with me because it was just so funny. Also because we used to watch it together when it was on originally and I just wanted some of that good old time feeling with him and me. He agreed, but then left after it was over. *sigh*

One thing I have not mentioned before are those cool bottles that Janey has. You know, the ones with the hole in the middle that used to be the big thing in baby stuff? It seems like I thought they were either kinda cool or kinda stupid back then – I really can’t remember. However, they look cool now and I may have actually used them with my twins. Ah well.

Another observation is the messy state of Hope and Michael’s house – yay! It makes me feel normal because with babies/toddlers/preschoolers your house is a perpetual mess. There is no time to clean when you are taking care of or running after a little one. So, that made me feel right at home. Okay – on to the show!

Episode 6 – We Gather Together – First off, this was the Thanksgiving show and it is one of my all time favorite episodes. I just laughed and laughed throughout. So did Mike, but then I knew he would :-).

Sometimes I feel like Hope – wanting to have just a quiet something at my house instead of the big dinner, but then my kids would have a fit. Watching Hope and Michael remind me of the early years of my marriage, and I am starting to miss that as I remember how it used to be between us.

My favorite part of this whole episode is when Melissa brings Jeffrey over to meet everyone when they are planning the Thanksgiving feast. Holy crap – what a dork! Some of my favorite lines are in those scenes!

Who can forget the Thanksgiving Day fiasco! The frozen turkey, Janey is sick, Michael and Eliott run Melissa’s boyfriend off. Ah, good stuff people, good stuff.

I like the end when Hope has to think about having a perfect holiday or accepting life the way it is. I have had my share of imperfect holidays and I wouldn’t trade any of them. We have had some really fine moments over the years – memories that will last a long time.
