Last minute thanksgiving

DH, me, and my parents were supposed to go to my ILs for Thanksgiving. My SIL's kids just got diagnosed with swine flu and my ILs just saw them on Sunday. No way in he-ll am I going there, so FIL canceled. Now I have to get a freaking turkey and plan 3 days before Thanksgiving so that I can cook dinner for me, DH and my parents.
I'd rather not get the swine flu, but now I have to plan a whole dinner.

You'll be okay! My parents were supposed to have an early thanksgiving before my sister moved away. Well they couldn't make it home last minute so I offered to make it for her. It wasn't too bad.
My one piece of advice would be to get a fresh turkey (I did a turkey breast because there were only 3 of us). But get it asap because the supposedely fresh/not frozen turkey that I bought was actually a little frozen in the center. If you get a fresh one now you can leave it in the fridge for a few days to be sure its defrosted completely! Good luck!

I am in the SAME boat! My mom had surgery last week and is now really sick so I stepped up to the plate and said I would make dinner (just today I decided this!) After I hung up the phone i thought to myself 'oh sh!!!!!t! What was I thinking??'

Mom already has a turkey so Im gonna go pick it up but the other stuff now I have to go shopping and I have no IDEA what I need!!! Having a major panic attack over here!!! Ive never made turkey before!!!

Awww that *****. But at least you wont get sick, ya know?

Just make some stuffing, mashed potatos and a turkey and you got yourself a decent meal. Either that or people can bring stuff as well to help?
