Today is July 17....That means it's 8 days until my company starts arriving!!! My 88 yr. old Grandma- whom you all prayed for-is coming on the 25th of July. She is doing really well. (Thank you for praying!) A few months back we weren't sure that she was gonna make it after a fall where she broke her hip. She now has to use a walker but that's not all that bad, after all, she IS 88 years old!! ☺ My brother, his fiance and their 4 kids arrive on the night of the 31st. They drop the kids off and come back on the night of the 3rd, then stay for the long weekend. Then after the weekend, another brother and his family stop in on their way home and drop off a daughter who'll stay for awhile. Then somewhere in there, my Mom and possibly Dad are coming for awhile..I'm never sure how long they'll stay. We're all so excited to be getting company!! My brother is renting a big ski boat while they are here, so I should have some water skiing pictures to put up the first or second week of August. :))
BUT.... NOW the work begins!
-I need to go through everyone's clothes and get rid of all the too small stuff.
-Finish painting livingroom and get blinds back up.
-paint kitchen.
-sort out boxes and junk in downstairs family room so cousins have somewhere to sleep!
-get carpets cleaned.
-sweep and wash deck. wash white railing.
-finish sanding wood pool deck.
-stain pool deck.
-clean carport and take trip to the dump.
I'm sure I could go on but I'm getting depressed just looking at these!!! :D Well not really but.. yeah.. it's alot!
So today... I think I'll start with sorting the clothes. Well I see that it's getting late... time to go call the girls and get everyone moving! Hope you're all having a good week.

I am thrilled to hear how well your Grandma has recovered!!!! I remember what a terrible injury that was, and I am so glad you're going to be able to see her soon.
Good luck getting all those jobs done... I always have a huge list before company, too. Right now I should be tackling my list for getting ready for our trip!! =)
You've got quite a list there!!!! It always helps with the motivation and fun of company coming. Enjoy!

I'm so glad to hear your grandma is doing so well!
You've got a lot of visitors coming!
so I guess that means we won't see any entries or comments from you on facebook or your blog?! Would love to help you out with that list and maybe a little pruning too, but we've got our own list.
Hey, how long is Grandma staying for? I thought you said she wasn't going to come?

Your title for this post "Sitting Here" - I think I have the right photo - for you on my new post.

Wow, that is a lot of preparation. I find the yard and house clean up for having guests can get quite overwhelming. I hope it goes well for you.
You know, if worst comes to worst..cousins can always paint and sand....can probably make a space to sleep in too....many hands makes for lighter work. ;-)
You do have quite a list of things to do.
Good luck getting everything done.
Take it one day at a time and just do what you can.
Thinking of you.
Hugs, Lori
Hey THM...
it took me a minute to figure out who was commenting...and yeah as far as commenting and blogging goes...if you look at the dates of my entries they're pretty sparse lately!! Having the kids home keeps me pretty busy without the extras to do!! I didn't THINK Grandma was coming either but she called to say that she WAS coming. Maybe because the girls called to ask her if she could come out. Don't know how long she's coming for...
