I've got tons of ILs, but they don't really come down here to visit (they all live north of us, but only four of them have visited us in the last 18mos, and two of those, only came to our home for a couple of hours, and then went and stayed in a hotel).<br /><br />That wasn't to reflect on my housekeeping though--they just wanted more space than my little (hahaha) house had to provide for them. <br /><br />Now, if my mother was coming to visit? *THEN* I'd be worrying if I'd forgotten something like that. Fortunately (not really--I miss her terribly) she lives in GA, and I'm in OK. And she works FT, and for the county, and can rarely get time off. So she and my dad come out once a year. They came here in May, right around Mother's Day. I hope to have them back here sooner rather than later, but it won't likely happen.<br /><br />Think of it this way, Diane--one day, you will *be* the IL! And then....just remember to be gentle! :-)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104786303721290423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393128162927626990.post-33529972868085687962009-11-04T13:13:35.466-08:002009-11-04T13:13:35.466-08:00oooh!
