Today is the number one travel day of the year. Everyone goes somewhere for the holiday.

And with that great expectations and usually lousy execution.

Sibling rivalry to old family feuds are revived...
Traffic jams are a must...

And don't forget about....

So...
Take a breath...say a prayer...and go in peace.
 
Ok.
Yesterday morning we were told that family from Indiana and California were needing a place to sleep for a few hours on their way to Georgia.
So we rushed and rushed to clean and prepare for them with air mattress and whatnot. Of course I had a heavy load of cooking to do. Cakes, pies, rolls, sweet potato casserole. (All scratch out of my kitchen)...and don't forget dinner.

Then....at the last possible moment they informed us that they weren't stopping. The rolls and a gelatin salad were apparently appointed to me mysteriously by way of a missing text message. So I got the homemade yeast rolls finished at 12:30 am... while waiting on family. Gelatin salad is a no go at this point.

I love family.

(They say that if you repeat a lie often enough you will believe it. It hasn't happened yet but I live in hope)
 
Well I survived the trip to my parents.
I helped my dad in the kitchen when I got there. So everything got seasoned and spiced appropriately.

My brother was amicable...we had our traditional toast.

We had a decent visit.... thank God! It's one of the last times I will get to see them. Nothing really went wrong. So I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. But...it's a good thing. I don't understand why nothing went wrong... something usually does. It was a perfect holiday.

Sigh....
Oh woe is me... everything is perfect.
 
For some reason us humans treat our families the worst out of all people. It's no different among us Christians.
I pointed this out in a Bible study once and the Pastor who was sitting in on the study got pretty upset. I think I hit a nerve, and he's not even related to me. :lol

If we all treated our spouses the same way we treat the attractive stranger there would be no divorce rate to measure within the church.

Familiarity breeds contempt...
 
Hey, John....by the way.
Did you wire this?

How do you know that's not on an arc fault circuit?
(Oops, sorry........I thought I was in the Apologetics and Theology folder :lol)

Because I seen the movie. And any arc (including fluorescent lighting) will trip the breaker...and the big arc seen from when Clark plugged it in says so.

I attempted to explain what family means to my older son once...
What's family mean to you? I began...
Well, family is people that you can screw over and they can't do anything about it...

Sigh. I failed being spiritual leader of the home.
