I just set up ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
patgreene, inadvertently... due to a variety of circumstances, kineticphoenix and sarahh were late picking up hopeforyou from work... I was giving her a ride, so offered to just bring her back home to wait. Big mistake... patgreene got a half-hour notice. The house was dirty, and the kids... were embarrassing. They practically swarmed poor Hope, who was tipsy to begin with. James was sullen and depressed. Hope looked relieved to leave, once her ride arrived... Laura and Sarah just looked bemused and a bit uncomfortable.
After they left, I felt ashamed of our terrible hospitality. Pat went back to her room and burst into tears. Augh.

Kid energy... thing is, many of our friends out here are childfree, either currently or by choice, and hence have minimal exposure. So I worry about them being overwhelmed... I'm used to little ones fussing between each other in the background, and suddenly having my personal space invaded...
