Sister

As part of my previous post on "time management" I'm trying to get ahead with the blog posts a little bit. I thought I'd pre-write Monday's post as my sister is coming to stay with us until #3 is born and she's due to arrive Sunday.

So today's post is about her, even though she isn't even here yet. I haven't seen my sister in 2 years and out of the blue she volunteered to leave her family and come stay with mine while we wait for #3 to arrive. I'm shocked that she'd do that, and at the same time I'm not sure what to expect. We're not exactly "close" these days so I really don't know what's going to happen. On top of not seeing her for years, she's 6 years older than me and her daughter is a pre-teen. Her husband is in the military, so they live several states away. Not exactly a strong foundation of things in common.

I'm a little nervous about how things will change while she's here. I'm taking a work hiatus for the duration of her stay (because it's polite, but mostly for my own sanity so I can have plenty of time to rest, prepare for the baby and pay attention to my older kids).

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on how it goes.
