help... i have a nightmare coming in 2 weeks

ok... well if you dont know.. im mary.. my bf is phil.. and we live in apartments right beside each other..with an adjoining door. these apartments are small.. im talking you open the door and are in the 6x8 kitchen that goes right into the small living room (which is cute though with a fireplace and then theres a bathroom and a bedroom... so theres not alot of room... enough..but not alot. why am i telling you this? b/c phil has informed me that his ENTIRE family is coming to stay the weekend for thanksgiving... and im cooking!!!!!!!!!

ok i love to cook and i think that im great at it..all my friends love my food... the problem is... his family is from the upper penisula of michigan.. so we are talking the most yankee you can get ... and im from the south... alabama...theres a difference. a big one...im trying to plan a menu that will stay true to what i love about thanksgiving and something that they wont stare at and not eat.

dont get me wrong.. i love his family... they are just NOT like im used to . VERY outspoken about everything... and i honestly have to put up my shield to be around them. they always love to talk about how much they hate the south...and southerners..how much they hate cheerleaders (yeh... get the picture.. they basically hate who i am entirely)...how much they hate blonde girls... and how much they think short people look funny... lol but they LOOOOVE me... so they say. you know i really dont mind all that...

but i am STRESSING out and the thought of having to cook for an entire weekend for these people... finding places for people to sleep!! im going to have to spend a fortune on air matresses... and entertainment!<--these people never just sit and hang out... they have to do something all the time.

im trying to work as many hours as i can so that i can get the things that i need to make our apartments look good... before i just made do with what i had... but to his family...you have to make everything look just so so .. im soooo nervous about my undecorated apartment. and im trying to figure out sleeping arrangements for the pregnant women and grandmother and two college aged sisters who are (ahem bratty and my poor little sister who is coming to stay will probably be out on the deck!

does anyone else have to do this crap?? what in the world do u do with a family that basically hates everything and everyone?
