Anxiety…

I have some of the best in-laws in the world. They are some of the kindest, most loving, warmest people you will ever meet! Today Terence has to go to the unemployment office in Everett as he is being audited for his job search (for the 900th time). Normally I would work from home in the morning so he could go or we would have Emily or someone from church watch the boys. Unfortunately this morning none of those options were available. Terence called his Mom last night and asked if there was any way she could do it. Being the AMAZING person she is she was able to arrange having the morning off of work to watch our boys.
Here is where the anxiety comes in; she is watching them at our house. Normally when Terence’s Mom and Dad visit we spend a good portion of the day cleaning, vacuuming, scrubbing toilets. Unfortunately given the short notice and the fact that we spent our entire evening yesterday playing (more to come on that) the house was not on the priority list. I know my mother-in-law (btw I hate calling them in-laws; it has such a negative connotation. But for the sake of definition they will remain defined as such in this blog. I actually just call them Mom and Dad) would never judge me based on my housekeeping skills; however I want her to come into my home and feel like her son and grandsons are being well taken care of. Either way Terence and I both really appreciate her taking time out of her super busy day to drive all the way out to Sultan to watch the boys for a couple of hours.
Thanks Grammy! You’re the best, sorry about the dog hair and fingerprints smeared on the bathroom mirror!
