Coming Attractions...

It's an absolutely gorgeous day here and I am enjoying it greatly. I am once again on tenterhooks as I await the long expected and anticipated 'block leave' that starts SOON. Okay, this time 'soon' really does mean soon - like starting Sunday.
So my little son (SO contrary to the truth - he is 6'3", incredibly handsome if I do say so myself [particularly as he looks so much like me he could be my masculine clone], built like a ROCK - a fine rock, and calls me short (I AM NOT SHORT!!!, just not as tall as him....)) will be coming home soon on leave and has assigned me the welcome home celebration.
If that sounds like a complaint it fully is NOT. I enjoy entertaining and I love to have this reason to celebrate and I even am looking forward to seeing almost all of the people invited!!! It should be pretty interesting as there will be family members from my side of the family AND family members from my EX-husband's family as well. Don't get me wrong - I harbor no negative feelings toward my ex and I LOVE his new wife (I call her my new wife) - it's just that it could be quite an interesting crush......
Particularly as there tends to be the occasional break out of fighting - even sometimes physical - on the paternal side there and I just will not have strife in my home. No need to borrow trouble, and having my family there when most of the family paternal members have not seen them since my wedding in 1975(!!!) should keep most on good behavior....
Well, I will laugh anyway.
OH MY GOD DO I EVER HAVE TO CLEAN THIS HOUSE!!!!!
ttfn - gotta sweep, dust, vacuum, mop, organize, etc., etc., etc.
