After standing in the kitchen all day cooking - my god my feet and legs are aching!

1. Me too! As the years go by

I, too, find kitchen work especially taxing - I have sciatica problems and this year was the worst.

I’m determined to have my family here for a home cooked meal until I absolutely can’t do it anymore. (I’ve got the best setup for a family dinner)

Not trying to be a martyr or anything - they all appreciate my efforts - my husband helps a lot too.

I have to start cleaning the house 3 days out, the day before is for cooking. My son makes the pies and they are always delicious. So I don’t have to do that.

But boy by the time everything is cleaned up and put away, I feel like I’ve been run over by a Mack truck.
