Sound the Alarm!

THE INLAWS ARE COMING! THE INLAWS ARE COMING!
{read as if Paul Revere were riding through your living room}
The average person reading this would shudder at the notion of their inlaws "popping in" for a visit. I, on the otherhand, get very excited as I love visiting family! Hmmm, I said popping, but that sounds like it was spur of the moment but this has been the plan for a week.

So your probably wondering, "what is all the panic about? She says she loves her inlaws, loves family, and enjoys visiting. I am confused."

Well, it probably has to do with this:

{she says she can't wait to see my scrapbooking stuff...well here it is!!!!}

Or maybe this...


Possibly this...

But then there is this:

Now let's research my repertoire of reasons for neglecting my household duties.
It would be so easy to say it is because of this:

Or this:

And this:

I would be remiss if I forgot this:


Then there is this:

But mostly because of this:


Yes, this last one is the main culprit. But, I am creating a lifetime of memories for generations to come! I am leaving my history, my small impact on this world, all in the name of love!
Yes, that's my story and I am sticking to it!!!
I shall return after bit to update pictures. If you don't let me up now to go and get it done...nothing will improve!

Okay, I am sure you all have been holding your breath this afternoon just waiting for me to update this!
Just got home from having a wonderful meal at my parents. Chicken salads....delish!!!! Way to go mom...I so love that meal! It might, just might beat my favorite of all time meatloaf. Yes, in fact I do believe it does. So this November 16, I want chicken salads for my birthday dinner! TIA{thanks in advance}!
Yes, indeed a great deal done.
After an errand out to the post office,

I managed to spend the rest of the afternoon in my corner working to get it organized! I am now ready to scrap the world...bwahahaawahah{evil laugh}!
It's amazing what I can do when I set my mind to it! LOL
I have been talking about this for a week now and I finally managed to complete the task at hand!
Before:

After:







By the way, even if I didn't get it organized today...my sweet, sweet MIL would never had said anything anyways!

How refreshing to hear someone speak so kindly of their MIL. Being one myself, I can appreciate that. I am blessed with a DIL and a SIL. They both seem to love and respect me. The DIL is very vocal with it, and is always wanting us to come for a visit and stay for at least a week.

Your baby is so precious. You are so right to make your child a priority in life.
