((((((All of you)))))

Thanks to you all for the good wishes! And Merry Christmas to all of you!

Just a quick update, we have a madhouse full of kids waiting for Christmas, which won't happen until W gets home from work this evening. There are our four, plus all three of the cousins from W's side of the family (who are closer to the younger set than the older).

W mentioned her schedule last night! She said that she was having trouble getting all of the non-work stuff onto it. I said that I kind of expected that the next schedule would be more likely, and she agreed. I think I might see if she would like to do the arranging, though I expect that she won't. That way she wouldn't have to figure everything out, I can be a lot more flexible than she can as far as schedule goes.

She slept in here last night (on the edge of the bed), and will be in here the next four nights, I think. Her brother and his son are in the guest room. Her sister and her two daughters are at her parents house. But the whole gang of kids migrates back and forth. They have been here most of the day today, the dog and cat have been hiding in my room! The noise level has been substantial!

I've been reading the "Passionate Marriage", it is NOT an easy read! I think I am starting to get it, I don't know if it is going to be useful in this M or not, but it is going to be useful!
