G-ma will be here today! Everyone has been so excited, and we have been counting down the days for a LONG time now. The countdown didn't become consistent until the first of May. "Twenty-three more days until Grandma gets here", then one less day everyday since then, until, "Grandma is coming today!" I am excited because, well, it's my mom. The kids are excited because, well, its their grandmother. Chad is excited because he gets home cooked meals. His words. He makes it sound as if I don't cook. Okay, lately not so much. But, the kitchen here isn't very big and a small mess multiplies like tribbles and I just don't function well in a messy kitchen. It went from a one person chore to a multi person chore, and still takes forever to clean. And, yes, we clean it everyday multiple times a day. But, I digress.
We are now down to counting down the hours until her plane lands. Yep, mom is flying. That is a testament to how much she misses us and wants to come visit. She is scared of heights and hates to fly. She takes buses when she goes back East to visit family. We talked her into taking a flight instead. What she doesn't know is that it is raining here. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to make her more nervous than she already is. At least we don't have lightning and thunder storms here. Just rain. Anyway, she will be here for about two months. We can't wait to show her around. Did I mention she is scared of heights? Just about everywhere we go we have to cross bridges to get there. The kind that are over water not roads. This will be very...interesting for her. The kids have decided that it is their job to help her overcome her fears while she is here. You might want to pray for her.
PS I have a secret.
PSS Chad wanted me to mention that "tribbles" is a Star Trek reference. I thought it was obvious.
