Time’s Almost Up

by

Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been super busy with family stuff and just haven’t had the time to get on the computer, let alone write posts. When I do have time to get on, there always seems to be something to do to pull me away. My in-laws leave in a couple of days. I know they are looking forward to getting back home. Not that they hate us or anything, but it’s nice just to get home to your own bed. I am looking forward to cleaning the house real good and getting it back in order. There aren’t too many occasions where I actually say I’m looking forward to cleaning the house, but after two weeks I feel like it’s in a shambles. There is just so much extra stuff lying around. Then by the time I get it back in order my mother will show up for two weeks and we get to do it all over again. She doesn’t have any family out here though so it’s less hectic when she’s here. Overall the visit has been nice and we’ve all survived without anyone getting a punch in the face or a push down the stairs.

The only bad thing about these visits is that I feel so disconnected from my husband. I rarely get to see him, and we’re so exhausted at the end of the day we don’t talk much at night. Plus, the kids are sleeping in our room on an air mattress to give the grandparents their own room. They wouldn’t sleep in the third bedroom by themselves for some reason so they’re in with us. I know he feels the same way when my mom is here. Oh well, time’s almost up and we’ve all survived and we’ll miss them when they’re gone.
