No margaritas? Really, it IS five o’clock somewhere. Fear not the social stigma of afternoon drinking.

Your parents come to your house so they can laugh about the chaos at your house. Eventually they get to return to their quiet house with enough stories to keep their friends entertained for weeks.

I’m about to besiege my mommy-in-law’s home for several days, along with my husband and a wayward child we sort of adopted. When I asked if he could come along, she got all excited. She’s a wonderful woman.

Clearly, your parents love your company, cocktails, tacos, NASCAR-mouthed kids, and your attention loving hound, not to mention you too. I hope you have a spectacular holiday with your family.

Sigh. We have no family here and no family willing to visit us for Thanksgiving. You lucky girl.

Know what goes really well with tacos? Margaritas! Have fun.

And the folks keep coming back for the kids. Trust me on this. Apparently I was only born to incubate grandchildren. If I’d have known that sooner I could have saved A LOT of years seeking parental approval and just started making grandbabies.

Enjoy the visit.

Family – the people who will sleep in the spare room or on the fold out couch, listen to the forty-leven hours of stories you’ve been saving up, feed you, clean up for you, assure you they are comfortable and well rested even when you all know it’s a total lie – AND they will pay for the privilege.

Sending Licorice out for a walk with Monkey and the Grents was probably a GREAT way to get her comfortable with them. And you can’t beat an excited, EMPTY dog. That’s always a good thing :)

Have a wonderful visit!

I think that kind of holiday chaos is fun. I mean, sure, you wouldn’t want it every day of the year. And maybe it’s just because I’m currently living VERY far from my family and I have to work the day after Thanksgiving so I can’t travel anywhere, but it sounds good to me. Especially the tacos.
