Please pardon my absence for a few days. My mom is coming to visit. For the first time since Lewis was born. He's 11. I'm preparing preparations as my grandmother would say.
Cleaning. Holy Crud. It's not my strong suit. If you know anything about it at all, just come on over in the morning and get busy. I won't be here, but the house will be open. Stick a casserole in the fridge, too, will ya?
Matt says she needs to reframe her thinking. She needs to look at it like she's traveling to another planet. At the very least, a third world country.
Got that, Mom?
Sounds like an adventure.
We are very, very excited!
See you next week!
Just popped up from crawling around under my desk... now, the only clean spot in my office. Gosh it's purty down there.
ReplyDeleteI understand your situation. In an alternate universe... I'll be over asap, with a dish you can stick in your freezer to reheat later. I'll bring my own broom!
Oh my, enjoy those preparations, but most of all enjoy your visit.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I hope Matt & the kids are pitching in some serious elbow grease! Low lighting, music and good food always distracts people from the dust bunnies in the corners. Not to mention the AWESOME company she's coming to visit with. I'm sure everything will be fine! Do I need to ask for pictures to document this event or is that understood?
ReplyDeleteYour family's love and marvelous personalities will outshine everything! The light from your kids will be SO shiny she won't see anything but that! Hoping for a great visit for ya'll and that she leaves there a soaking, wet, sponge of joy from her time with you!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit, don't worry about the house, she's coming to see y'all!
ReplyDeleteIs that really your bunny?
ReplyDeleteYour mom will be so dazzled by her people's dazzling wit, charm and creativity (just like I am).
della caught the bunny in the garden and he was injured. nursed him back to health and then maybe carried him around to death...not sure. he was fabulous for the brief two days that we had him.
Deleteyour mom visits about as often as mine ;-)
ReplyDeleteenjoy your visit, dust bunnies be damned. speaking of bunnies, does miss d have a new friend? r will be green (a really deep shade of) with envy!
Cheers to a smooth and easy visit! I'm sure she wont notice anything but those beautiful children of your's and that gorgeous blue sky Durango boasts! And that picture of Della with the bunny is catalog worthy! I'd buy whatever she was selling!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful visit together!!! Cleaning, blecht. You can always show her that sign that you showed us a while back, the best 11 words I will never forget :).
ReplyDeleteCheers my friend!!

well, how about just don't do any taxidermy with that bunny while she's there and things should go fine.
