Go Help Pop Unload The Car
My in-laws arrive today from Florida. They're here to help celebrate D-'s 16th birthday tomorrow. (I'm in complete denial that my youngest child is 16 - and could get his driver's license if we would only let him. But we're not going to, Bosco! You got that? No high school sophomore in this house is getting his driver's license!)
My in-laws are great and I enjoy having them come for a visit. I do have to sit through the Florida-is-paradise-how-can-you-possibly-like-living-in-this-arctic-wasteland discussion but once we get through that it's smooth sailing. And they really like me. (Something about their undying gratitude for staying married to their daughter all these years.)
One convenient thing about having a child away in college: Grandma and Pop can stay in A-'s room and not in the spare bedroom where my computer lives.
