Homeschooling/Father & Sis in-law/ect...

Okay, I have found out over the last couple days that we are going to have a very "relaxing" December....lol....My father in-law & his girlfriend are coming here around the 5th and will stay for 8 or 10 days I think. They are coming after Phil has to return to work so that they will be here to help me with the kids and my recovery. Debbie (Martin's girlfriend) has grandchildren and has helped her kids, so I'm sure she'll know what to do and be a help. If it were Martin alone I'd totally be stressing. Martin with a 3yr old still potty training is just a funny thought all in itself!!! Not to mention all the other things that go along with a 3 & 5yr old. Then when we take them to the airport we'll be picking up Julianne who will stay for 4 or 5 days. If you know Julianne, you know this will be my most stressful time. She knows nothing about kids and hates cleaning. Martin has made her fully aware that he's sending her out to HELP not visit per say. LOL. We'll see how that goes. The thought of Julianne wiping a butt has me cracking up. I think Makenzie will be doing alot of work that week if I'm not up to par yet.



Okay, so here's where my thoughts are going tonight... I can't stop laughing at myself...Martin & Julianne are both highly against us homeschooling cause they think our kids are sheltered. Martin wants to take them to museums every day and do fun things with them to get them out of the house...Well, ya know, our poor SHELTERED children may not notice that he's taking them away from their church on Sunday, Gym & Swim on Tuesday, Music class on Wednesday, and Gym & Swim again on Thursday...I'm thinking that maybe Grandpa would love to take them to these activities and see how our normal life is!!! It would be great for him!! Then maybe Auntie can accompany me while I take them the next week.... Of course we can't forget that they also must do at least 15-20 pages of homework a day as well :) Oh, and maybe throw in some crafts also! hehehe.



I don't know for sure but I'm thinking that Julianne should be leaving somewhere around the 20th. That means I'll probably have a whole 2-4 days before more family arrives! Good thing is we won't have time to mess up the house!!! Just hope that really is true and I can keep things under control so that my cousin doesn't come in and feel the need to rescue me. Kids are really gonna have to keep up as well cause with a crawling baby in the house we can't have little things around. It will be great practice for them!! Instead of stressing, I'm kinda looking forward to all this chaos. It's gonna definately keep things interesting!!
