I haven't been to a family reunion in over five years. All of my extended family lives in New York, Texas, and New Jersey. There have been family reunions, in fact I think my Grandmother plans one every year, but I can't easily get to them. However, there will be a family reunion here in Texas on Father's day- but the thing is, it's not for my family. lol.
I'm so thankful for the family that has taken me in for the summer. They're including me in everything. I came expecting to take up a little space, eat a little food, and stay out of the way as much as possible. Either I'm not very good at sticking to what I plan or they have really gone above and beyond what I was expecting! I wish there was a way for me to repay them. I'll fill and empty the dishwasher, I'll vacuum the whole downstairs, I'll paint the porch, but is there more I can do? I go to work and when I get back I'm tired, but I still want to help (my body is the one who doesn't!). When I'm told to get out of the kitchen and stop helping- I don't know what to do! I want to help!
The family is going to a wedding this weekend, but my friend is staying behind because I have to work and they didn't want to leave me alone. I wonder if she's staying because they don't trust me (which is fine, I totally understand, I don't trust anyone) or if they honestly think I can't hold down the fort here. She wants to go, I know she does, and I wish I could do something about it. Oh well, it'll be a fun girls' weekend, I suppose.
Well, this post had no point.... I'm going to go play some piano before I head to work.
Inconclusively,
Samia

haha! We trust you Sam ;) Don't think we'd have had you for the summer otherwise. There's dogs and chores and a zillion other little things that need taken care of. That's why I'm staying home. Anyway, you'd be lonely by yourself for the weekend :P
Charity, seriously Sam loves her alone time (maybe because all those boys around home or the Mom who doesn't have and indoor voice LOL). It's fun to see what she comes up with when you leave her alone. The chores get done and there is usually some kind of baking and extra surprise. Sometimes that is decorating, rearranging, organizing, or a new song or story! We call those her Suzie home maker days!!! I'm glad she is helping,don't spoil her to much! Thanks for making sure she isn't lonely though!
