Dear Sis,
I know what you mean about the hubby being away. Last week my hubby was in France on business, and was kind of forced to buy me a birthday gift while he was there. Luckily he planned the shipping for the gift in advance so it would get here on time - he's so thoughtful of others!
It sure sounds chaotic over there! What you need is a strong family unit willing to help you out from time to time. I find that, when I've shown to someone how I care about them, they are very willing to watch my kids for an afternoon or take half the load of planning something. I think of it like that movie, pay it forward?
That reminds me - for your next visit I have gone to the trouble of working out which Holiday Inn is closest. I know you stayed here in my home last time, but now the house is a little messier, including the carpets, and I won't have the time to clean before you come over. It's my fault, I know, but I have more than compensated by working out those Holiday Inn details -- which takes me a long time to do, as I'm not very good at it. Also, you will have to call them for the pricing information, as I'm not handy with the phone.
Love
Monster
