JJ, Vicki and Cory got here last night--the ones we moved to Texas. It will be interesting. Right now I am hiding in my room because they all were up so early this morning and woke me up with a lot of loud talking and that makes me grumpy. So I am praying for a better attitude so I can get up and enjoy them.
What I want to do is go out there and ask them what the plan is, find them a place to live and jobs and make sure none of them are sleeping on my couch for the next 5 weeks, eating all our food and just doing what they do. I'm trying to protect myself and protect Jenny because we both fall into the overly-helpful sisters--cooking, cleaning, and running them around. We've talked about this, we are on the same page and we want the same things. None of us mind being helpful, but JJ especially, tends to fall into this, "I deserve to be helped and you need to do everything for me." Vicki is just a push-over so she does whatever she can for any of her kids, no matter if it is smart for her or good for her kids. Cory just thinks different. He is very self sufficient, he just has a tendency to think whatever is yours is his. We've done all this before, that is how I know. I'm not trying to be mean. I do want to be helpful to all of them, but I want all of them to help themselves too.
So here it goes. I'm gonna pray again and then get up and try to be sincerely nice.
