My parents are totally this way, Jim's parents are totally this way, and it's not any in-law visiting dynamic there. They're just ALWAYS that way. Anytime they're around I feel guilty if I don't have ten different projects going on!<br />And yes, they're all of German descent, if I didn't say that already. Seems the gene finally skipped one on me, 'cause I only work hard to the point of craziness if I'm having FUN or, like, nesting for a baby or something. My mom, though... man, she'll come home on her lunch break to mow the lawn and stuff! The lawn that BARELY even needs mowed!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141742419364168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-52250260141764091222010-07-01T17:39:45.338-06:002010-07-01T17:39:45.338-06:00I still predict some sort of hilarious story for u...I still predict some sort of hilarious story for us to read on Monday...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-38351878173770019032010-07-01T10:13:50.000-06:002010-07-01T10:13:50.000-06:00I would have let them mow the lawn.

I can't imagine doing it for three weeks! Although I'm sure you'll all settle into a groove after a bit. And being forced to rely on charades can (hopefully) give you all something to laugh at and bond over when you're stuck entertaining them. <br /><br />Failing that, I recommend hiding in the closet while devouring the chocolate, rubbing on the face cream, and googling Dog Repellant.Caitlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-27572239705106707082010-07-01T08:44:04.812-06:002010-07-01T08:44:04.812-06:00Come to think of it, I could probably spend a coup...Come to think of it, I could probably spend a couple hours in whole foods.

When we visited Paris, we took my aunt and uncle a book of photographs of Chicago. My aunt speaks English (she's American-born) but my uncle doesn't, and it was fun to have pictures to ooh and ahh over without really needing to talk about them. Hope things continue to get better/be ok!Rishttp://www.missris.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-43431961242907039052010-07-01T08:24:51.313-06:002010-07-01T08:24:51.313-06:00What do they think of MOntana?What do they think of MOntana?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-47024104244007435762010-07-01T07:54:38.722-06:002010-07-01T07:54:38.722-06:00I think it's pretty impressive that they'r...I think it's pretty impressive that they're so self-reliant.
