Family
Had a sort-of-surprise family gathering on Sunday, a rare combination of related and nearly related people at my house. It’s extremely rare to have any combination of people aside from our immediate family at our house ever. Maybe this is a good thing, because it always seems to be followed by shell shock. I don’t know if that would change if we got to see our respective families more. Maybe the fact that it’s so rare is what makes it such a shock to our systems. This last visit was a relatively short one compared to the few before, but I still needed yesterday to relax afterwards. Luckily, it was a Jewish holiday. Good timing.
Despite the exhaustion, it’s always nice to have external validation of our parenting abilities. My brother said something like, “Looks like you’re doing a terrible job raising kids,” as Gia looked up at him smiling from ear to ear. “If you ever get tired of ‘em, let us know.”
