Josh and Diana arrive tomorrow for a weeks visit. They are even driving up themselves. I think it was probably forsight that we got him a Garmin for graduation. If he has any Uncle Scott in him, he could end up in Arkansas without it.
As you can imagine, a week with the two of them in the same house has brought on many discussions about sleeping arrangments espicially since Jodi insists I am not sleeping with her for a week straight!
With that in mind, I have developed a few scenarios.
1. I lock Josh in the shed and let Diana have my room. She is a girl and needs her privacy & I know where Josh is at all times. There is a racoon living under the shed & Josh can keep it company.
2. Josh goes on the couch, Dianna gets my room and I sleep outside her room on the floor with a shotgun. I figure this is the Uncle Scott approach. Simple, easy and the prospect of extreme violence.
3. I just get a hotel room for myself & pretend the situation doesn't even exist. (holds hands over ears and repeatedly sings... la la la la to himself)
Please vote for your suggestion as to the best approach. Or, offer one of your own.

You're cracking me up. As I was reading the second option, I was thinking this is so "Scott McMurdo." Then you actually gave him proper credit.
ReplyDeleteI know you traveled with them the entire time they were driving up and didn't rest until they arrived safe and sound. The girls and Jonathan drove home from my parent's by themselves this summer and it was difficult for us, but all went well.
I'm sure you already figured something out since they've been there for a few days.
BUT:
If Jodi doesn't want to sleep with you for a whole week (so sorry), maybe Diana could share Jodi's room and Josh could bunk with you?
Invest in a couple of air mattresses. They're comfortable and you two won't have to share your beds with guests. You'll share the room, but everyone would have their own private bed for sleeping.
Honestly, it's only for sleeping, and once beds are made, you can put the air mattress on top of the bed for easy clean up, and you won't have to blow it up every night.
Just a thought. Remember I'm the conservative McMurdo, and I am the Mother of a daughter.
Hope you're having a great visit. Tell the kids hello!
We miss you.
Love you.

Ei, ei, ei!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom my view first suggestion is surely a case for Amnesty International.
The second is my favorit as well because with that "peacemaker" you're able to sign final contracts.
Third: I think the room service will call an ambulance. In any way you'll have to be careful.
Is that the generation of the "flower power"?
