Displaced Yankee Chick in Texas

This blog chronicles my life as a displaced Yankee chick in Texas. I'm from the NY/NJ/PA area and quit my job 1.5 years ago to move to TX with DH and become a SAHM to our 3 kids (2 DDs and 1 DS). **Please note that names have been changed to protect the innocent.**

I'm so tired...my mind is on the blink

Just survived having SIL and her family visit for a week, MIL and her DF for a long weekend, a birthday party for six people, and two airplane trips from hell sandwiched between a funeral.

Long story short -- had a great visit with the family. Kids got along great and were so loving to 1yo cousin. Party was a success and weather was great while we had company. Had fun visiting DH's hometown with our and SIL's families. Unfortunately while we were there we got a call that DH's and SIL's grandmother had died overnight. Researched and then made travel arrangements for family to attend funeral. Celebrated 5yo nephew's birthday 2 days early since his bday was the day of the wake; kids had a great time at Chuck E Cheese.

SIL's family had the trip from hell getting down here thanks to the FAA computer glitch and the bad weather surrounding the NYC area. They were to arrive Fri night at 11:30pm. However, they finally arrived at 6:30am Saturday! Their bad luck rubbed off on us and we were to arrive in Rhode Island Saturday around 8pm. We pulled into DH's grandmother's house at 2:15am. And our luck didn't improve yesterday. We should have arrived in Houston yesterday around 8pm, but pulled into our driveway at 6am this morning. *yawn*

Must.get.sleep.

And I almost forgot -- we did get some wonderful news. DH's cousin, who happens to be A-man's Godmother, announced at the luncheon following the funeral that she is expecting her first. She's just out of her first trimester and regaining her appetite. Her due date is somewhere in late December. Gran's birthday was Christmas Eve, so that's the date I'm hoping for.
