[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: MIL is going to be pissed off. [b] I believe she had been bragging about this dinner to her family-less friends for weeks.[/b]

This is going to go down as the Thanksgiving that DIL got everyone sick, almost made SIL miscarry, and eventually destroyed.  That's just the way she is.  Well, I don't give a hoot.  As DH said, the only way to have as much control over a party you are looking forward to that much is to...THROW IT YOURSELF.  Which she never does.  I don't know why.  I mean, if you can't cook, you can cater.

I don't even know how I got roped into this.  I honestly have no recollection of the moment when we decided that we would host this year again.  I think, like in years past, MIL slyly planted the idea in my head.  I'm such a schmuck.  [/quote]

OP, the bolded above is a delicious little tidbit!  Clearly, it's not your fault.  You were just the vehicle karma used to teach your MIL not to be such a cruel bitch who kicks people (friends, no less!) when they're down.  Give yourself up to the universe and revel in the fact that you've had a hand in seeing justice done!

THIS. How cruel to brag to friends who don't have family. Makes me sad to think about it.

As you know, people get sick and it's not your fault. Make reservations now and if you are still really sick Thursday, your husband can take the kids and some other family to dinner and bring some back for you. Can you re-freeze turkey? If so, just make it when you feel better.
Your DH sounds like a prince, BTW.  You have a lot to be grateful for!  Now call some great restaurant and order Thanksgiving dinner for your immediate family and tell everyone else that you're quarantined for the next week.[/quote][/quote]
