Thankfully, Grandma and Grandpa (and their dog) came through here a few weeks back, so at least THEY won't be new. However, it will be a different state, different house, 17 people and sometimes as many as six dogs.<BR/><BR/>It makes the most emotionally healthy person go nuts.<BR/><BR/>We arrive early to places (before everyone converges) so that the kids have time to quietly see the new surroundings. We adhere to our regular bedtime schedule (ie: our kids will not be staying up til the traditional 1:00 or 2:00 am while all 17 people slowly open one gift at a time). Also, my husband plans to sleep with the boys, and I with the girls the first night, to help with nighttime fears (my kids are professionals in the field of nighttime fears). <BR/><BR/>This particular trip is a big one, because it's the kids' first one to see/meet this side of the family. Everything will be new and different, so we'll have to be more deliberate. <BR/><BR/>If all else fails, I'll just get everyone drunk.<BR/><BR/>Kidding.<BR/><BR/>Sort of.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276000726366302069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-63714563873079872482008-11-15T11:34:00.000-06:002008-11-15T11:34:00.000-06:00God give you a big special blessing, life has been...God give you a big special blessing, life has been tough lately.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-9540400185933480922008-11-15T11:27:00.000-06:002008-11-15T11:27:00.000-06:00I've stopped saying "Oh, it's ok" to other people'...I've stopped saying "Oh, it's ok" to other people's kids. <BR/><BR/>The first time I didn't say it, there was like a weird silence. Probably more so because at that exact moment I realized I was undermining the parents all these years when I said it was ok. Duh! <BR/><BR/>I had never thought of it that way until these kids came into my life.Reighniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249582936717929919noreply@blogger.com
