Invasion update

Famdamnily Invasion Update:
Good news! X made it through the neurotic company is coming clean, he even helped a lot! See how I just made that sound like he doesn't actually do anything on a regular basis? Yup having company stresses me out to the point where my girl brain forgets all the things he does do. ( Sorry honey)
So they showed up, and man I relaxed. I have to say that I am quite fortunate to have wonderful in-laws. My Sisters in law treat me like a sister, my Mother in law is pretty laid back, and treats me just like one of her daughters ( I actually take that as a compliment) and then there are my Nieces and Nephew who are not babies anymore, and have grown up to be beautiful young people.  ( I have brothers in laws too on this side - but they didn't come so no bloggy about them!)
This trip we are missing one Niece, the eldest of the bunch (19), the other two came along for their last spring break, as they both graduate this year. 16 turning 17. *sigh*  When X and I first got together, they were 5! I feel old, but proud! Proud of who they are growing up to be, proud of all they have done, proud of how much they doat and love their little cousin- Cub ( who ADORES THEM). So yes I am having a good visit, but, it is only day 3 and we are heading into the weekend, soooooooooo...we'll see. You know how families can get!
pssttt... don't let me forget to tell you about the niece who may want to come live with us..

Have a great weekend everyone!

A Funny thing happened today

Posted by Amethyst Anne in ,




Here I was, all ready to dust off my blog and put a big post on how much I've missed you people, and what a bad Blog friend I am and voila, taaa daaa... abraracadabra...
A whole bunch of you popped up like spring flowers and that totally brightened my day!! 

Yeah!!  So these flowers (my favorite, are for all of you to share!!)Please know that even though I may not be commenting a lot, I am cyber stalking you all, and reading your wonderful posts.
As X mentioned this month we are being inundated with company...you know, nobody comes to visit in like 6 months and WHAM!! The whole famdamilies are coming!!  This does make me happy, as I have been dreadfully homesick for over a month now. Luckily the Olympic addiction kept some of it at bay, but the birthday is always the hardest.( Thanks for the birthday wishes too!!! ) 
My Mom came for an impromptu visit this past weekend, it was too short, a lot of fun, and today she left, hence severely affecting my overall demeanor...meh!!
Then a major portion of X's family will be descending on Wednesday, niece, nephew, sisters in law and my mother in law. Then my whole famdamily will descend at the end of the month for Don't shoot the rabbit that leaves chocolate day. I love them all to bits and I am sure we are going to have a blast, but I will be honest.....
It stresses me the hell out!!
Seriously!
My dust bunnies like to stay sleeping or they get cranky like this!


Cleaning, planning dinners big enough to feed everyone, making sure I can do a lot with a little, and I stress more about the in laws visiting than my family.( go figure??). I am trying (not very well mind you) to adapt my husband's current Mr. Fucking Positive attitude, however he doesn't seem to be the one who ends up cooking or   doing the majority of the neurotic cleaning!  I know in the end I will survive and enjoy all of my time with everyone, but if you don't hear from me, I may be hiding under the bed with the sleeping dust bunnies!
