Well, my dad, his wife Catherine and her daughter Frances are all coming to my house for Thanksgiving! So we will be making and devouring the big meal here in my little abode - should be interesting.. I am already fighting my territorial and 'bossy' alter-ego.. mainly over sleeping accomodations and the cooking and all of that ridiculous stuff..
Don't get me wrong I am glad they are coming I haven't seen my dad since August and for us that's a good bit of time.. We have always been close - and even after i moved I generally went back to visit like every couple of months.. This last 6 months have been so busy that all i've done is run around and do my stuff - i'm sure both of my parents have felt the distance as when i first moved here Dad and I talked at least weekly.. now we do good to talk on the phone every three to four weeks.. big difference.. and my mom and I now have maybe one good forever long conversation a month. That's a bit different too.. Seems they have both voiced the distance and my busyness and lack in calling and chatting.. I do miss it but i feel like the infant who refuses to sleep because they are afraid they'll miss something.. everytime one of my parents call me it interrupts the fun i'm having and then i forget to call them.. or when i do we just don't really talk.
So Frances first mentioned coming here for T-day and i was both glad and unsure.. i'm moving three days later (still haven't started packing) and then will have a roommate.. and i already had plans for the big day.. so this is both the best and the worst time for them to come.. best because i'll have off for four days and can spend it with them and it's just me - no roommate to make feel uncomfortable or weird.. and worst because i needed that time off to start packing and the space they will be sleeping in would be my storage for boxes and because now instead of going through with my other plans we made different plans.. AAAHHH!
oh and back to my original point.. Frances mentioned it - i said yeah sure.. then they decided not to come because Catherine wanted to go to visit her brother and grand kids (where they will also be for x-mas) so i kinda felt sad and slighted.. that her plans and wants would automatically override all else.. then i got an email from dad yesterday saying they were coming afterall..
so that's that..
All else is well for now.. had fun spending time with Kelly P most of yesterday.. and last evening with Palm Tree... :) - thought you might like that..
K gotta go get ready for StillPoint tonight!!
Ciao!
