I'm trying to get ready for my in-laws to arrive this weekend for a visit. We haven't seen them since Wesley was born, so it will be nice to have them here for a bit. However, I am totally embarrassed at the state of my house and so I'm halfway dreading their arrival and my subsequent lame-ass explanations.
"Oh, (nervous giggle) sorry about those boxes."
"Oops! Watch your step, sorry!"
"Um... I know your sheets are here somewhere... maybe I packed them with the cleaners?"
Don't worry your pretty little heads about just how much I'm exaggerating... rest assured that I'm not stretching the truth enough to have a normal blood pressure as our guest's arrival looms ever closer.
Crap!
To top it all off, tomorrow morning my sister and I leave for Salt Lake for a day chock full of fun and assorted activities:
1. Drop off Aidan with Grammy Nan and Grandpa Bryan for his first overnight stay away from
either Mike or me (please, dear Lord, let my parents speak to me after this is over)
2. Pick up Johannah's wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses & my sassy dog-walking dress (did I
mention that I'm walking her dog down the aisle?)
3. Return Comcast's modem to them, since someone (not going to name anyone, but rhymes
with SHMIKE) just barely remembered to cancel our internet service yesterday after packing
and moving the modem that we don't use anymore to Idaho.
4. Check into our totally normal, un-fabulous non-downtown hotel since someone (yeah, it was
me) forgot to make a reservation in time to get a fun hotel for less than $300.
5. Go to salon for fabulous haircuts and free Diet Cokes
6. Go to our old house and pick up a couple chairs that Mike couldn't jam into the moving van
and make sure that these people are taking care of my little home. (sniff)
7. Do a lia sophia show Saturday morning (look at little business-minded moi!)
8. Pick up apricots on Brigham City's fruit way for jam (the Williams girls are nothing if not
domestic, right?)
9. Swing by Grammy Nan and Grandpa Bryan's to beg forgiveness and catch Aidan while they
toss him from their front porch.
10. Drive back to Idaho and a few days with Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Paul.
(11. Have a drink)

Stop the presses! You forgot
Thing 6.5: At your old house, besides the chairs, grab the wind chimes that you forgot to pack.
Aidan will be fine! We plan to spoil him so rotten, you'll go back to Idaho scheming about making voodoo dolls of us and doing torturous things to them.
:)
ha.....maybe we will leave him with you guys.... let you potty train him and break him of his fear of salmon colored bathtubs so he stops looking and smelling like Linus:)
I wish I had been here, It would have been fun to see you!
