First of all, let me address the whole couch thing. Taylor and I think it is more of a green color and Mike and my mom swear it's blue. My brother said to me last night, in the picture it looks green, but at your house it's blue. So I guess I won in pictures, but at home...who knows! I still think it's green.
Last night I was sitting there watching TV at 10:30 when I got a call from a blocked number. I only have two people who call from a blocked number and neither of them usually call that late. I answered and it sounded like my friend Jenn. I said, "Hey what are you doing?" and the voice on the other end said, "This is you sister!" Oops!
"I need you to come pick me up."
"Where are you?"
"Home, but the air is no longer in my tires and I have no way out."
"I'm on my way."
I called my little sister so I didn't have to drag my kids out of bed and I hurried over there not knowing what to expect. Just my sister, niece, and nephew were there and they were packed and ready to go. I brought them back to my house where they will stay for a while. I confess to being torn about this. I love the idea of living with my sister again. I lived with her until my nephew was 2 and I loved being around them all the time. The only problem is, I now have a husband and add 2 more kids to that mix! My house is going to be crazy for a little while and I will embrace every minute of it.
I have realized through all of this how lucky I am. Mike never asked, "Can't they go somewhere else?" or "We really don't have the room." I apologized to him and his response was, "Don't be. She is your sister and we will do what we have to for however long. Our house won't be clean for quite a while though." I think I just fell in love all over.

sounds like you will be busy.. but it is wonderful that you will be able to be with your sister.
He's a keeper and so are you (for your family) - everyone needs a touchstone! Take care.
I agree with the above comment. He is a keeper, and you are an angel for taking them in. Three more can make a big difference in a household. But I would do it for my brother if I had to. :o)
Wow, that's amazing he was so understanding. It's not easy when you put two families in one house. He must be really GREAT!!!! You are too as a sister for taking her in.
It will all work out. Holiday time will be easy, she won't have to come over she is already there.lol
Hey - thanks for coming over and leaving such a nice Anniversary wish. Take care and I'll see you soon.
