I just set up 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.

I didn't care what the house looked like. I was in a down mood when I got in the door, but not because of what was happening in the house -- it was because I had a crappy day already.

I am grateful for their hospitality, and neither I nor kineticphoenix and sarahh thought poorly of them.

Understood, I hope my comment didn't sound like I assumed you had problems with the house or boys, it was meant to show Brian, how I think and deal with the worry when people are over. My household is 9 people, 4 of them being children, along with 4 or 5 cats, and adults who are busy.
