Yeah, my mom is coming over to help me with the stuffing, and I'm doing the oreo crust tonight so it will set over night. My BIL and SIL will be grilling the turkey, and my mom and I have the other side dishes split down the middle. I stayed up until 11 last night cleaning the house, and since my mom had my son it went quicker and it will stay clean since she has him all day today too. Phew!!
Thanks for the pick up, I hope everything turns out fine and I don't ruin something as simple as Mashed Potatoes.

This Sarah!! You really aren't hurting him by staying ONLY his friend if that's what you decide. You will be there if/when he really needs you, but make sure your new guy is aware and comfortable with this situation. You don't want him to get upset, but if he sounds as wonderful as you say then he probably isn't a jealous type. It also helps that he knows your ex and what he has been through. You two can be his friends together. You can do it HUN!! We have faith in you and you are a sweet person, and if the ex can't understand that you are wanting to still be friends. That's his loss!
