It makes me feel better but I doubt anyone would really care if my house was clean or not.

They will remember the smell of cookines in your house. They will remember al the hugs they get from you. They will remember the TIME they spend with you - not the things that surround that precious time. They will make memories of what family is, and hopefully they will pass those emotions on as aunts themselves one day!Less is Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893879737104721486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-27974001008886309422009-07-11T09:36:40.330-07:002009-07-11T09:36:40.330-07:00I will definitely be praying for you... actually I...I will definitely be praying for you... actually I will be praying that the Lord gives you peace. I know exactly what you are feeling though, cause you know I'm the same way.<br />Your house is 100% beautiful and I never see anything out of place. Just like you said though, the girls could probably care less and won't even notice. Just relax and enjoy their company. You're a wonderful Auntie and they are going to love every minute of being with you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559574675490973634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-42342714423696181252009-07-11T06:13:56.707-07:002009-07-11T06:13:56.707-07:00You should not be stressing over it!

It will be fun cooking together. Tell her the truth about your asthma and I am sure she will understand. For the meantime, just enjoy the company and have fun! I will say a prayer for you and don't worry. Everything will work out well for sure....Christinexinexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100438341646700750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-44052119891860696912009-07-10T19:01:15.624-07:002009-07-10T19:01:15.624-07:00Prayers for you, and just remember the things thes...Prayers for you, and just remember the things these girls are going to think about are hugs and fun, not if the floor is clean or not. When my house is a wreck and people come over, I don't apologize anymore (I used to). But this is my house, not theirs, and I don't have to please anyone but myself and my husband, and he doesn't care at all. So instead of being nervous about what they will think, just say excuse the mess and let's go have fun! I can't imagine dealing with asthma on a daily basis. I'm so glad you have been able to level out with medications. I'm betting those three girls can't wait to see ya and to spend some quality time with you. I will pray for you for keeping up with them. Kids can wear ya out!!!!Lori R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07094875732012133428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-71976990688332218822009-07-10T18:00:58.610-07:002009-07-10T18:00:58.610-07:00Yes of course I will pray.
But let me tell you,...Yes of course I will pray. <br /><br />But let me tell you, girls aren't looking for a super tidy house - they are looking for your time and attention. Shoot, make it fun right there in your house! Build a blanket fort in the den (yes, I know they are girls but having their 57 year old aunt do something off the wall will give them the giggles. Throw popcorn at someone when you watch movies and pretend it wasn't you. Act like you are their age :) My twelve year old is into decorating tshirts with paint (an inside project). My other daughter does a web game called "Go Supermodel"... it's like computer paper dolls. Do that with them individually. Just give them time and attention and then if they need it, give them space too.<br /><br />Have fun and try not to stress. I promise they aren't visiting to give your home an inspection. They want to be with YOU!!jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547226679311827501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-9257287423522852762009-07-10T17:01:52.579-07:002009-07-10T17:01:52.579-07:00Things will work out just fine - I promise.

I hope the visit brings you relief b/c they're happy faces will show you how much you missed them and you won't think about your worries. I wish I had words of wisdom for you but I'm not great at that kind of thing. I do think that by you taking one day at a time and taking the steps to better things for yourself is a HUGE deal and you deserve a HECK of a pat on the back! You are such a beautiful writer and an inspirational person whether you realize it or not...YOU ARE! I will say a prayer for you!!!Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653109682234374130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070542752256828676.post-4009277458116029982009-07-10T14:01:39.694-07:002009-07-10T14:01:39.694-07:00There is a word for this it's called CHAOS, Ca...There is a word for this it's called CHAOS, Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome.
