Nothing like having a Monday and coming home to a house full of people. By full I mean, FULL, as in excess of the governmental approved number of occupants. I may be violating certain zoning ordinances now that we have multiple families residing under one roof. Am I violating any subdivision covenants?
Today my sister-in-law and nephew arrived for Cat's birthday party on Sunday. They are presently residing legally in the home that was purchased during my brother's assignment at Fort Bragg, N.C. and have been stranded here by the weather. Rather than have them drive all the way back, my wife invited them to just come spend the week with us here in Calhoun. Upside to all of this -- the sister-in-law is ONE HELL OF A COOK. Too bad she did not bring her stand mixer with her for all of those wonderful baked goods that she is capable of producing!
I have decided that only having girls was a blessing. They may be difficult, argumentative, frustrating, aggravating, you know, like ordinary women -- but they are not two year old boys.
Jackson is a wonderful kid, but there is no confusion regarding his gender. He is ALL boy and ALL over the place. Each time I hear something hit the ground, crash, or bang, I fear discovery of what else might be destroyed.
Pray for me.

You know what the best part is about having a house full of relatives? Their departure. *tee hee*
ReplyDeleteP.S. What does "presently residing legally" mean? You're such an attorney (I'm pretty sure...but not positive...that's a compliment).
His duty station is Ft. Knox and they had to relocate about 60-90 before his departure for the warmth of the middle east. They were unable to sell their home at Bragg, and my sister-in-law elected to return back to the home while he was deployed. In Fayetteville they have friends and a better support structure than Knox where she knew not a soul.
