Long weekend

Here it is the long weekend and I have 3 kids here. Now I know what your thinking, 3 that's not bad but only 2 of them are mine. I borrowed the third one so I have no reason to complain about anything as I brought this on myself.

My sister is visiting from Ohio on top of having the 3 boys here and of course her first thing to say is "Don't the kids ever go outside?" If you know my boys the answer to that question is NOT IF THEY HAVE THEIR WAY. I did, however, mention to them that I have 3 fishing poles and asked them if they would go down to the pond to fish. Well now we have 2 boys with no idea how to set up fishing poles trying to get one pole ready to go fishing. I have given up trying to let them do it (I could have had it done about 20 minutes ago) and am letting them get frustrated trying to do it them selves. I have to shut off my ears so I don't hear all the complaining and swear words and just concentrate on the fact that they are leaving the house. It may only be for an hour but they are getting outside.

My sister is also getting ready to leave the house. She is going up to Maine and thinks that the boys (who she basically pushed to get out of the house) should drop what they are trying to do to get all her stuff up and into her car. I'm of the pholosipy that if you can't take it in one trip it doesn't need to go. I figure if I can't carry it I don't need it that badly. She is also taking my sewing machine she said but I don't know who she's going to get to carry that up as the boys took her stuff and the fishing poles and are out of here for a while. I do know I'm not taking it up. I got it out of the closet, cleaned up and into the living room because she said she wanted to sew but it's been out here for over a week and she hasn't even looked at the darn thing. Good luck. If she does bring it with her I don't expect her to actually do anything. We'll see what happens

I would love to go to Maine with her but I had committed to having the extra child here for about 3 weeks and then the youngest said his father was going to let him come and I couldn't pass that up. I don't get to see him as often as I want to as it is so this weekend is a bonus. But now I'm thinking what have I done to myself?

Now my sister is saying she doesn't want to go but I think she will anyway. I'm not sure if it's because of the long weekend or the long drive that's keeping her from moving to fast. Here it is almost 11am and she hasn't even been out of bed for an hour. Me on the other hand, I've been up since 3:45 as my sister (who is sleeping in the king size bed with me) makes 3 different noises in her sleep AT THE SAME TIME. How she can snore, click and wheeze all at once and not stop breathing is beyond me but she does and loudly at that. I am kind of happy she won't be here tonight as I think I may get a good nights sleep. At least that's the plan. When I think about sleeping now I don't think I've gotten a good nights sleep since the doctor took me off the Lyrica on Tuesday. Of course that was making me fall into unconsciousness instead of a restful sleep and I don't like that at all.

 My sister is almost ready to leave and the boys are out of the house so maybe I can go in and take a nap for a little bit. Wait, no I can't. I have to be up to let the boys back in the house as they didn't take a set of keys with them. OK I'll sleep later.
