Changes

 So my in-laws are moving here permanently in 9 days and I both advocated for this and am glad. However. 

First,  I acknowledge that I am a bossy,  take-charge kind of person.  

But second: there are many moments when I am forcibly reminded of my mother in law washing the (new, unused) disposable silverware before my BIL's wedding while the rest of us frantically set out the CHAIRS and TABLES and FOOD.
