heading out

My parents arrived without incident. They apparently slept well; I still had crazy dreams. ARGH!

Morning synopsis:

Wake up at 3AM—Dad’s phone is ringing. It’s about a patient back home. (Dad is surgeon.)
Wake up at 730AM—My phone is ringing. It’s Jen; I need to go by there and pick up my camera before we leave.
Wake up at 945AM—Mom is up and has wandered into my room. She’s taking a shower… am I going to make coffee?

So now everyone is up. Coffee has been made, everyone has scoured the kitchen for breakfast and realized I have nothing. Seriously. My dad and I had leftover pad thai from dinner.

My mom has brought out nine different kinds of baked goods… and new sheets and a new comforter. (She’s fabulous, no?)

They’ve showered. My dad is dressed, my mom is in a housecoat and I’m in my PJs still.

My dad has assessed everything he is going to do and has already taken out the screwdriver and debated the merits of screws and such with me… as I nodded and went about my business.

They’re putting the new cover on the new comforter in my bedroom and I’m answering some emails.

We’re supposed to drive nine hours today to PA… we need to leave soon.

And now my mom wants more coffee, rotfl, so I need to go make it.

Oh, and they know I blog and I told them I’m blogging about this, so every time they do something funny, or tell me what else they think they should fix while they are here, my dad looks at my mom and says, “I bet she’s going to blog about this.” And then they laugh.

Be back later… when I tell you all about the drive.

😛 If I survive.
