Weekends Never a dull moment

My Honey and I keep our house open to any and all the Kids and we were just saying we’ve not had a weekend off in four weeks now. Weekend before Last we went up to Pine Our friends have a cabin we helped them get , were in real estate. They invite us up alot, its cool because we have another couple that also has a cabin right next store so when one goes up we all go up and can stay either or place. real nice, Uh. Last weekend just in a 24hr. period my Oldest Daughter T and I were recalling all the things that happened. Here we go. Our son in law N needed to be picked up at the airport in phoenix He had a Interview in Indiana he is a Reporter and Anchor man, anyways he wanted to hang with us for a couple of days, well the guest room was occupied w/Jerry’s Daughter who is home from Collage with her Cat that never comes out of our Beautiful Guest room and she also comes with a Hairless Crescent who has intestinal problems and boos blood all over the porch. I also have my Sixteen year old and his room is next to the guest room and is a distaster and ours is up stairs, so poor son in law N. I could only offer him the Couch to sleep on. Not so bad but I have 15 baby chickens that also are in the Living room. I don’t think he got much sleep w/chirping sounds of 15 baby’s. Our Collage Daughter came home from her Friday night about 1:30 am didn’t bother N on the couch or us but then she came into our room at 3:30am crying and throwing up, she said she only had 3 beers at the party why was her stomick cramping, So I jumped up running into the kitchen {not Jerry who is her Father} and crabed a pan for her so my carpet would stay clean then Jerry ’s telling me “Grab her a pan ,wash cloth and some MOM well I was doing all that so I glared at him He knew to stop, I was doing ok, so I comforted her in the middle of the hall she sat on the floor and was crying again and still throwing up once again I thought of N on the couch having to listening to all this and the chickens too. He really didn’t get any sleep. Next day we had a good morning and my daughter T was coming to get N from Flagstaff all was well intil my oldest son G came walking over. He lives in the Guest house 25ft over and informed us he broke up w/his girlfriend who also lives there along w/there little one Hazel who I babysit she is 6mon. old. We all said “what do you mean you broke up” Where was I and when did this happen. I guess they were fighting about 11 or 12 at night. So I was bumming, baby Hazel was gone. They did work it out w/a little bit of coaching from me within a day. Well in the mean time Jerry’s oldest son J who lives down below on the next property had his dog Boomer in the truck and J barrels around all of our properties like a bat out of hell heading up his driveway w/Boomer hanging out the window and the dog falls out going around the corner and hit the ground hard and landed on a bolder and knocks off top and bottom cainie’s on one side. So I get that phone call and we all go down to see what the dog might need. I was a Dental Asst for 13yrs so I should be able to fix this, So they think. We did struggle to put a temp. sedative in the teeth but that’s temporary, you know. OK so T & N thought well were ready to head up the hill to Flagstaff they seen enough activity so they pack the car and we all said goodbye well they didn’t even make it down our hill and there car just stopped we had but oil in it just before cause it was knocking but it quit. So the phone rang again to say were down the hill come get us. Well I had no place to but these people “I mean kids” OK so I needed to think quick. My youngest so N 16 had just left to visit his father for a week, that’s usually when I go into his dungeon to do a complete cleaning you know bring up 2 or 3 lg. bags of garbage and all the kitchen dishes well I didn’t even have time to do that the kids needed a place to sleep It was a huge mess. I apologized and said “get in the bed and don’t move, nothing should bother you.” there saying “Yea! right! OK MOM!!.” It all went fine and I had more Quality time with them the next day while they dowelled on there car and what to do. See even thou it was a busy weekend I wound’t change a thing. See you all next time K
