Hiding!

I was up most of the night with my brother who was having a seizure. Of course, he remembers nothing. My husband's son called to say that they were coming to visit this afternoon and have some dinner. So I am hiding in the laundry room, well not really, everyone knows the laundry had to get done today. He keeps knocking on the door and asking what to feed everyone. "I am doing all the laundry, food is all up to you and your son." "That's not fair!" "Life is not fair. There are 5 bedrooms that need all sheets and blankets done. There are three hampers that are filled to the top. I didn 't invite anyone to our home today because we were up all night trying to make certain my brother lived. Perhaps they should bring a picnic with them or plan another day. "Well, are you at least going to talk to them?" "It depends on if I am working, or making beds or what is all going on. I made no commitment to be here. We were going to Wyoming, but we decided with no sleep and work this is what I should do, in fact you gave me the list. Don't worry about me I can find something to eat. Can you feel tention ahead?

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I don't blame you for your attitude. Sometimes people don't think about how much work the other has to do.
