The Twins Are Coming!

I haven't seen the boys since early December.  They are meeting me in Kingman today for a long weekend for teacher inservice or something. Therefore, I will be busy frenzied for the next three days. It's wonderful to see them but I'm so exhausted already....

In June, the Daughter is going on an Alaskan cruise and leaving Gunnar with me for 11 days!! Oh, dear. Oh, dear...I'm worried already. I love the child but I haven't taken care of a little one for that long for 30 years. I was younger then, you know!! What have I gotten myself in for? Yikes!!

Nothing special planned for the weekend but herding the feral grandchildren. Breathe in! Breathe out! Cleansing breaths! Oooommmm!

I can't really think of anything else. Hope your weekend is restful and calming. I realize the weather is rugged in some areas right now. At least that's calm here. A bright light for sure.

Rach is going on MY Alaskan cruise!! Dang! Have fun with those boys this weekend, they are just boys after all. If you have a dustbowl in your backyard like I do, just fill it with water from the hose and turn them loose. They will be out there for hours. Hope you slept well last night, you'll need it.

Have a great time! Send them outside, let them run around until they collapse and then throw them in the tub and call it a day!

Ginny seems to have a handle on how to care for boys! Go with it.

GUNNER for 11 days is an awesome (and tiring) undertaking. But it'll all come back to you and when the time comes for him to go home, he's not going to want to leave you.

Warm hugs....J

I hope you have a good weekend. It gives me a panic attack just to think about twins, but you are a strong woman I'm sure.

Don't fret about the upcoming 11 day adventure. You'll do great.

Hey, so far you've always survived the onslaughts of the little ones so just plow ahead as you always do. And enjoy every minute with them!

I'm going to have 4 little relatives at my house tomorrow. We can do it Jo!

I agree with Gini. Let 'em run around outside all day until they wear themselves out and fall to sleep. You'll be fine. Deep breathes.

You'll be okay, you can collapse when it's over with lots of memories made!

Have a great time with the twins. I am sure when Gunnar come in June it will all work out fine. Everytime the grandkids spend time with you, it sounds like you make it a fun time. Breathe and play.

If you are stocked up on diet coke, then the twins and the 11 days with Gunnar will be just fine...
