Mother-in-Law Invasion

The past two weeks have been full of visitors and excitement.  Kevin was called to court again in Michigan for custody.  The judge threw it out of course AGAIN.  But the part of the story I really am getting at is we had Kevin's X Mother in Law came from Michigan to stay with me and the boys while Kevin was in court.  Sounds kinda strange, but Jackie was a huge help and is one of the family.   Being that I was not feeling good, it was a great help.  She cooked almost every night.   But not only did Jackie come.....Kevins Mom came too.  We had a houseful of helpful ladies.   God must have new I would no feel good and would need some extra help.   Our living room turned into the MIL Bedroom.    Excuse the unusual decor!
