Waiting

Well, I just don't seem to get around to filling some of the blanks in the blog as often as I probably should, but never-the-less a few of those blanks are being filled in now as I sit waiting for the arrival of my daughter Ann and her husband, that would be my son-in-law Tom with the delightful pair of granddaughters Victoria and Margaret. Now of course some new little one is coming alone, a small, very small dog, one of those Mexican types. How could I say no! what am I crazy! As it is I am one of those people that has a very difficult time dealing with too much commotion which is the usually case when there is a lot of people, even my darling family, which I love extremely. But it is still a lot of noise and motion, and the like when ever more then me is around. Soon the house will be filled to the brim, Tom and Anne will be the basement people and Victoria and Margaret with share Patty's office room, which Mom has been using as her TV room, and of course Patty's mom will remain in the "guest" room, then we will also have the joy of Sarah, Jason, Isabelle and little Sophia. Elliot will stay home. Jammed to the top, with people everywhere, Why do I feel so badly when I want to escape to my office for a moment? These are my children and grandchildren, and it is so great to have them here, yet I know me and you do too, I have to get away from time to time just to keep me from getting to loud inside, my heart needs quite times. This will be four days of great times though and I have to remember to take pictures of the four generations Mom, Patty, Ann & Sarah and the 4 granddaughters. It might be the last time we have that opportunity. Then before I know it, drive mom to Chicago, pick up my sister in Kankakee and the three of us shuffle off to the South, the way South, really far South, and still use the "In God we Trust" money. ( that will be another post someday soon, stay turned)
