Fear Of Landing

family

So, my son and his girlfriend are in town visiting for a few days AND my daughter is on her way here as we speak. So, I am going to have a house full of happiness for the next couple of days. It is so awesome having all my kids here right now. It's strange being the mother of an adult son. Today he got really sunburned and we got some lotion for the burn. As a parent my first instinct was to administer aid to my child. But, he is a grown man and his "lady friend" (his smarmy term not mine) is here with him. So, fortunately I thought about it before I started to do it and handed him the lotion and let her take care of it. I'm sure it would have seemed uber-ooky if I had started to do it! She would have thought I was some sort of freak. While they were here they have gotten my youngest son started on World of Warcraft.... we've been calling it internet crack and he is HOOKED! I took off a few days from work to enjoy their company and today, right when they got home from the water park the electricity went off. I have had a history of not being very responsible when it comes to remembering to pay stuff. So, after checking fuses... I was certain that I had forgotten to pay the bill. I was freaking out thinking how embarassed I was going to be to have my son's girlfriend here and the electricity got shut off. Thats the way to make a GREAT impression. Fortunately it was a full power outage for the whole block and not me being an idiot and we are home with full power and awesome air conditioning.
