The husband’s sister and her family should be here in a little less than twenty-four hours. Loins are girded, last minute laundry is going. Ran to Home Depot for cinder blocks to prop up a table on our deck to solve the issue of an inflatable Santa sliding off the edge (back onto the deck, thankfully, and not off the front of the house). The husband is baking cookies (“stress baking”). Beds have been made. We did a run to BJ’s yesterday, but I’ll need to drag the sister-in-law to the grocery store after we figure out what stuff we want to cook for the week. Haircuts scheduled for first thing tomorrow morning. Then it’ll be trying to stay out of the way while the husband obsesses over cleaning things that are already clean, and drives me nuts by wanting to me to put things ‘away’ into some mystical ‘away’ place that doesn’t exist in our townhouse.
I’m most excited that everyone is going to get a small Easter bunny in their Xmas stocking, because BJ’s not only already had Valentine’s candy out (semi-normal, though still too rushed), they had a partial array of Easter stuff. So of course we picked up some kit-kat bunnies, because why not. I guess it beats leftover Halloween candy. I understand that orders have to go in to get stuff shipped in time, but c’mon guys, Easter? Already?
