So Mom and Dad will be back tomorrow night and our two house guests left today. Which means just the four of us kids left to frantically clean the house tomorrow. Good thing it's a holiday! I'm kidding, nobody's thrown any parties. We were all too tired out after having to do things for ourselves. Grocery shopping, making meals, taking people places, there are so many things we had to take care of.
For example I am terrible at waking-up early, especially on weekends, and after the first week when everyone missed church because of me I made arrangements to get them a ride the next two weeks. The Ellington family kindly agreed to stop by and bring anyone ready along with them to church, they had 4 open seats in their car. They, and many other families, have been stopping by and inviting the boys out over the weekends or inviting all of us out for dinner.
But even with all the help we've all noticed how much Mom and Dad do things we really miss around here. Chris probably misses having Dad make him breakfast every morning, John doesn't have school any more. Last night I just gave in and bought pizza for dinner. I drove with Chris to this bible study so he could go to the youth group and we ended up back home a little after 6 without any dinner plans. Chris was lobbying for going out somewhere and I decided it would be way easier. We're all definitely ready to have our parents back.
