Well, the visitors arrive in approximately 30 hours. I have a list of things needing to be done before the houseguests make it next to impossible to complete mundane tasks. Most of them have been completed. House chores, mowing and weedeating, cleaning out the pantry and the fridge, making space for extra people's clothing and toiletries...it's a lot to think about and I am sure I have forgotten something really important, but oh well, it's just friends coming...
Tomorrow we are heading to West Monroe, Louisiana to attend J.J.'s high school graduation. We're so proud of his accomplishment - there was grave concern he would not make it. Once the ceremony is over, we will eat at one of the two establishments open after 9pm...IHOP or Waffle House (WEEEHOOOO...I love eggs and bacon!!). Then it's over to Rhonda's to load the suitcases and people and head back to Kingwood. We won't be home before 4am. We could opt to spend the night and leave first thing in the morning, but Eve has to be at work on Friday....she'll be sleeping on the 6.0 hour drive home.
Gage's birthday party has been changed to the following weekend. That works out better all around. People who couldn't come because of work are off that weekend. AND...Gage's birthday is actually on the day of the party. It's a luau theme...the kids should love the bright colors and, of course, the grown ups always like the tropical feel. I am making a TIkiMan cake...will post some photos when it's done.
Today, I am finishing the final paper for my transtheoretical methods class. I will be bringing lots of reading to do while we're on the trip tomorrow and be ready to write over the weekend for Tuesday submission. Busy as usual.
