Barbeques, pow-wows, reunions, and holidays; by the time it's over I don't want to see any of them, ever again. Then it's time for Christmas. No, seriously, I love them all and feel sorry for people who don't have 30+ cousins to keep track of. I DO resolve to be better prepared for family intrusions. MY family is likely to show up at any time, and probably intend to stay the night (or two) with their kids in tow. So, while the post-Christmas sales are upon us, and I have Christmas cash in my pocket, I'm buying some airbeds and inexpensive pillows, thrifting some sheets and blankets, and a couple of those Rubbermaid totes sized for fake trees to store it all in. Then it will go in the storage room of the barn, and the next time seven people show up and plan on crashing my house? I'm prepared, and don't feel like I have to give up my bed. So, even though our New Year doesn't start until June: Afvcke Nettvcakorakko!
