Harried and Scattered

Just looking at my desk makes me think that I should not be typing my blog entry.  But this momentary pause in my morning will hopefully provide me some focus for the remainder of the day.  At least that is the hope!

Today starts the very full weekend where many friends and relatives will be at our house.  Nerves will fray and I am counting on at least one episode of flared tempers.  It is just not a good event with family if passions don't get heated up like that!  In-laws come in tonight, friends come in Friday night, my sister and brother's families as well as my parents come in Saturday.  And those are only the ones we know about!

In the middle of this there is my ordination.  The main reason or excuse for these people to travel to Michigan.  I guess there always needs to be a reason and this may be a good one.  I am looking forward to Sunday but is just a bit stressful getting all the details set before people come to town.  It is like Christmas in many ways and there are people in my family that would like to set up the "I hate planning for Christmas" group!

So, if I survive this weekend, I will let you know how things transpired.  It is almost noon.  I need a nap?
