Today is Sunday. Around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday we will roll out. Vacation will begin. Now let me explain the back story to this. Exactly two weeks ago we were not going anywhere. Hubby was not taking any leave. Then it all changed, he came home on lunch and announced that we would be going home for Christmas. I was over joyed but at that exact moment I was already overwhelmed due to other things happening at that moment.
Within a matter of days it had gone from a simple going home to celebrate Christmas to a complicated quest. The In-Laws were added and as if that were not possibly enough, the Father-In-Law decided that this would be the perfect time to lay new floors in our house that we own in TN.
It was now my responsibility to inform my border-line hoarder father who is staying in the house that we would be coming, and not only would we be coming, but we would be laying floors. Needless to say the very next morning at 7a.m. my time, my father is calling me and for 15 minutes outlining all the many reasons this would be a bad idea. As if I hadn't already gone through this very same list.
The idea of just brining his parents was enough to make me cringe. Now I get along with them very well, I enjoy their company, but I am not sure I can travel with them. For one my FIL loves that sappy love/lost love Mexican Music. I can barely handle said music in English, when it is played on the radio I begin to loose the ability to breathe. It cannot be tuned out, even if you try to sleep in a car. Believe me I have tried this tactic when hubby and I were newly married. We had to find the middle ground and it did not include said music. This is a 26 hour trip, can you imagine hearing this music the entire way?
The floors, sigh and adventure all unto itself. So hubby was thinking that we could just go to Lowes and get the stuff we need and be on our merry little way. Nope this did not happen, it did not play out that way at all. We found the laminate flooring we like, nope none of the stores keep much of it in stock. Yep you have to order it and it takes two weeks to come in. But we found a tiny loop hole and maybe just maybe this will carry us through.
Your prayers are much appreciated, and I will keep you updated.
Luke 1: 27) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
