Who does that?

Four children and three days later we are finally snowed out! Friday we closed the daycare center early because of the much anticipated "Blizzard of 2010"-nicely titled by the news stations of course. My best friend and her husband and child came to snow in with us as extra support and some how we signed my sister in law up for duty as well. So we were 10 people 22 inches deep in snow and nothing to do but cook, eat, watch tv and sleep. Things like this are my only excuse to sleep.
Quick calculation-my four under four n I=5 plus best friends' family of 3 equals 8. Plus sister in law equals 9. So where'd the 10th come from? I politely asked my brother in law who expressed his concerns with staying home with his son on "his weekend" and his constantly conflicting father, if he wanted to bunk up too. A few hours before the snow storm got bad-He- my brother in law-arrived...son and bags in tow.
"I'm going to get my stuff and am gonna hang out for a little bit. I'll be right back"he sort of unarticulately murmured. Sure, I thought, no problem! Ok little problem. He never came back. Hours later in the heart of the blizzard I recieved a text message-"Don't think I'll be making it". Really?...you think! Honestly, I enjoy my nephew so no prob- but really though-"who does that?" Lol. My sister in law's boyfriend wanted to know....my mom wanted to know...my best friend wanted to know. Seriously though- "who does that?" Lol.
So I'm one child richer-a child who is about 7-8 months younger than my first set of twins- and snowed in. Joy! It turned out to be not so bad because there were a lot of hands to help. When it was time for a pick upon Sunday I was told my in laws had denied their son- my brother in law use of the car to pick up his son. Who does that? I mean you know I'm babied out with all the snowed in whole cabin fever thing. It honestly time for pick-ups now. Lol.
Clearly I along with my family and friends could understand my concern. Husband oversees, mommy balancing four kids with friend and sister in laws help does not equal best time for nephew to move in! Lol. I got a good laugh in though.
Monday now- I drove him home a bit a go. He had fun. So did my kids. No harm done. Any thanks?-nah that's far to formal. P is back. The drive way is still 22 inches in so he's out there and things are a little more back to normal. I'm still trying to come up with the best answer for that question cos honestly really..."Who does that?"
