@geezerette : Thanks. Praying that the ex-wife  and grandson will not cause trouble. Last time grandson didn't get everything he wanted and slapped his mom. DH grabbed grandson and the ex-wife was on the phone calling police on my DH! I shouted and told them to be packed and out of our house in 10 minutes. Hasn't been invited back.

DD insisted on visit for her dad to meet her fiance. DH upset that they aren't getting married before she moves. I am praying they will forget about us after moving. I don't need to watch soap operas.❤

That's what I was thinking too, but I didn't want to sound mean!

@geezerette : Thanks. DH is praying for same thing. He is mentally, physically etc worn out. DD asked for money two weeks ago and refused. Always something.

Good Morning Y'all. We were very busy yesterday. Trying to decide how  to have enough room to seat everyone for eating. We moved the dining table horizontally. I have two narrow 4 foot rectangular tables and placed them horizontally. I ordered elastic tablecloths to cover each table to protect the tables and allow more room for the chairs. Small table clothes are solid gray, had trouble finding something for the large table but it is gray and white check.

We were both exhausted and dealing with total body pain, but that is finished.

Busy making ice with my ice machine.

Sent email to DD for information on everyone's favorite soda. We decided this would  make food order easier .

I will have the coffee bar stocked, tea and bottled water.

We have decided to close the den door hopefully easier to monitored  everyone's location and let them use the hall bathroom.Plus close doors to all other rooms.

I know that DH is having anxiety about the visit because he is very grumpy.

The dining room is finished and need to place order for sodas.No other work planned but to clean the bathroom Friday morning.

I am really dreading the epidural on Tuesday.🤗❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Good Morning Y'all. We will have 3 kiddos 2 are age 14 girls and one boy age 17. They prefer coke cola regular ( we drink decaf) and Dr. Pepper. My plastic glasses are 20 ounces and a 2 liter soda has approximately 3 servings. I prefer to order just 1 of the Dr. Pepper and Coke Cola  liter drinks with no left overs. I know it will be hot. Do you think this will be enough?

Just informed that I need to make unsweet tea for one person and that is ok. Plus will be visiting sometime Saturday instead of Friday.DH will not like this because it will interfere with his Saturday tv time.🙄🙄

@SouthernBee 

dont do too much.... no need to impress this bunch .... not all all

if they dont like what u are serving... (i woulnt have gone through all the trouble of getting everyone their fav softdrinks)... get the heck out.... but then u are much more gracious

dont serve too much - multiple desserts etc and snacks - bc they will stay longer...

i'm so sorry to hear that this visit is not a celebration 

seeing one's family - especially DD and grandchildren should be a joyous event

since their visits are sparse

i totally understand and hoping - once they vacate to Louisiana

it is Louisiana's problem

i'm also quite impressed with ur DH that he actually said no to money she wanted

he now has opened eyes seeing all the monety that you both need to exist bc of mobility issues and not being able to cook

i hope the epidural will help tuesday.... 

sending you strength

@Yahooey : Thanks. Not over doing .Only one dessert : Tin of cookies from Cheryl's cookies.

If you just heard a big explosion..... DH not happy with Saturday visit interrupting his foot ball. I just told him that he has my permission to cancel the trip. I am now praying that they will have a very very late start on Saturday and will call and say: no time to stop. DD lives 2 hours from us but with her fiance driving the rental truck with furniture will probably be longer.

I went cheap with the table cloths and can be saved for something else. The cookies are frozen and can be saved for whenever someone visits. If I order the sodas we will donate to the church. I had told DH that they could drink the decaf coke cola  but he said, no.

I am not doing any extra cleaning or anything else. If they come and by the time they leave: house will look like tornado hit.🤓

@SouthernBee 

You two are hilarious.  You had me laughing out loud.

"once they vacate to Louisiana

it is Louisiana's problem"   🤣🤣🤣

"he has my permission to cancel the trip"  🤣🤣🤣

@SouthernBee , I hope your epidural goes well.  Please do speak up if it doesn't--don't let any of those medical people bully you! 

Hopefully by the time your company comes (if they do!), your pain will be gone or at least lessened so the visit won't be so hard on you.

And you can always remind DH that these people are his relatives. 😉

@geezerette : I try really hard to giggle and laugh about stuff.

Told DH that he can use " me" as any excuse needed.

I will be hiding the house phone and my cell phone will be in my pocket. I told them once to get out and more than ready to do it again. Moving further away. I'm not planning on sending any emails. But DH if he wants to can stay in contact with the DD. If anyone request money or groceries from me will be told their responsibility. My needs and necessities list are growing and expensive.

On my epidural: I will remind the doctor  about last time and request more pain medication. I am not worried about the stress test on Wednesday. Definitely dreading the family visit and planning not to say much. Just let them visit with DH.❤

@SouthernBee @geezerette 

here's a thought...

they can dine out at ur DH fav restaurant with his sister

DD can visit her aunt and dad and dine

they can pick whatever they want off the menu

no need to clean - no need to find chairs - and the 50,000 flavors of soda

the restaurant even has a bathroom 

i am a problem solver
