And THIS is where it all starts to go a bit insane.....
Just when ya think you're finding a bit of respite on the weekends--July happens.
Oy.....
Every weekend for the entire month.
And I mean back to back to back.
How does that happen? Wellllllll...cuz I say 'yes thank you, I think I'd like to do that'.
And he says 'you're welcome any time'.
And when I actually get around to writing things on the calendar--THEN I note things he-who-plans-everything has written down.
"Sooooo.....like.... We're having a PARTY next weekend! Wooooohooooo!! Bring on the hotdogs and hamburgers!!"
Pardon?
"Yup--the more the merrier! I'll make a gallon of potato salad. It'll all be good!"
You failed to write something on the calendar.....
"Mighta....... Woohoooo---we'll have a party! If some people are good--more is better!!"
He took it fairly well, all things considered. But what was he gonna do--break a three year old's heart? (yes, I played that card and I'm not ashamed to admit it!)
It was the weekend FOLLOWING that he got a bit......irritated with.
"Nonono--you go ahead and go to the whozit thingy you had planned. Lassariona will come another time---maybe in three more years....you know how expensive airfare is. Of course, she might not have her brother in tow then......"
.......and the weekend following.....
"Oh--and we'll just make a crock pot full of sloppy joes, toss out some chips and call it good. I'll mark it on the calendar so you'll remember...."
AND the weekend following...
"Ummmm....did I mention we had plans here? *pointing and tapping the calendar* This'll never do! We can't be in two places at once."
His response?
Oh yes--we can be. Would you like me to prove that?
I'da been okay with the proof if it hadn't looked like it was gonna involve his hands around my neck....

Am I invited to any of these parties, or are they all family and stuff? I mean, I'd drive down there and eat a burger. I'll even bring something besides Mrs. Spadoman, one of my gluten free salads, just saying'.
Peace
Well, dang it, if it weren't for me being in Florida the first two weeks in July, I'd invite myself and bring along my favorite summer pie....
KEY LIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aren't I pushy?
Bwahahahahahahhaha!

LOL is there room for another one....................me?
My goodness; we know about the one involving faraway travelers.
In my fam, they know that they can't expect us every year(yes, airfare junk) but, when we come, we do it well and enjoy to max.
D would have been better off working for an airline Company... Wishful thinkin' on my part.
I hope that you work it out.
Sounds like you have a lovely month planned. Gas barbecue required though!
