If you make it out of that without being put in a padded room in a mental hospital, I'm putting you up for Saint-hood.
Well, I just ally don't know how I'm going to deal with them until they get here, I guess.
I really don't know a whole lot about them. It just feels really strange.
Suzanne - Sorry about what's going on with your life right now. You do sound like you need a friend to hang out with. I have drifted away from most of mine also but recently reconnected with a woman I used to work with but our schedules don't mesh often. DH can drive me nuts (and does) with his habits and insistence on doing what he wants to all the time; he's retired and he really refuses to take good care of himself so we can do more together in the future.
I think it's really important for you to take care of yourself first! Get yourself packed if you can so that's out of the way!
As to the in-laws, no advice there since mine have been dead for many years. When they were alive they were a true nuisance and very difficult to be around. Mother-in-law was the smothering type since DH was an only child of a second marriage for both his parents. They drove both of us nuts and though we wish DMIL had lived to see her only grandchild I think even DH is somewhat thankful they are not around anymore.
Throw yourself into cleaning the house if that helps and maybe take them out to lunch.
Maybe show them Disney videos, pictures etc. to entertain them. Do you have any of the Samantha Brown shows on tape? My mom likes to view the various Disney pictures I have taken on the web. Perhaps you could pick some of the best and bookmark them for viewing. Even the WDW website has some good things to view since they are first-timers.
And don't forget shopping for last minute trip/travel items with them if needed. That's always a good time killer!

Thanks Kathy.
There has just been too much stress this month. It would have been better if my in-laws had not chosen to come when they are and given us more time to prepare. I feel like it's kind is selfish to come when we have so much going on. They do too, so I don't really understand, why they chose now.
DH did get some stuff done today that I thought he wasn't going to do. I told him that if it wasn't done, he would have to be the one to tell his parents they couldn't stay here, guess he didn't want to do that.
I don't cook very often at all, because I am the only one home at night, so there is no use cooking for myself and DH doesn't eat leftovers. I don't know what I will do for them. I don't want to eat out every evening.
I guess I will do a little more planning when they actually get there. I have a doctors appointment one afternoon, so I don't have to take off work another day, that will take about an hour.
We have one day blocked because we may have to go get our ID cards renewed if DH passes the PT test this time, we have to purchase our WDW tickets and do some shopping for the trip while we are on post.
DH has to work 2 nights after he gets back and we have a dance recital, I can't miss, the night we leave for WDW, but probably only my MIL and I will go.
I think we are going to have a Disney video day, we have a 6 DVD set that we watch over and over again.
