Xanax and bed

The stress has begun. But it's half way over. My brother-in-law and his family came over last night. They're from South Carolina. They've got two kids. An almost 4 yr old daughter and an 8 or 9 month old son. They got in at about 11:30 pm. Everything was fine until my niece started screaming about wanting her back pack or something. For the next two hours she continued to scream and cry about everything under the sun which caused my nephew to cry as well. I finally got to sleep around 2 or 2:30. Then my brother-in-law was back up at 6 and my niece was up at 7am. I couldn't sleep after she was up because she once again started screaming. She calmed down after a while. As soon as both my husband and I were up and in the living room, my brother-in-law and his wife promptly disappeared into their bedroom leaving us with the kids. They stayed in there for an hour or two. When my brother-in-law finally came back out, I went into our bedroom to try and calm down. My niece was driving me up a wall because she kept taking her brother's toys away from him every time he found something to keep him occupied. My sister-in-law took the baby in the room and slept until Thanksgiving dinner was ready. (about 2:30pm) Dinner went great. It was nice seeing family. My sister-in-law started talking about going to Walmart really quick and my father-in-law offered me up as company. (Even though he knows I get really sick of her really quick) We did ok while shopping. When we got home, I went into our room and have been trying to stay in here ever since. I love them and all but I just need some me time. Hopefully tomorrow or Saturday my brother-in-law, my husband, and I will go shooting. I really hope so. I don't want to get stuck watching the kids while they go and she sleeps. Well, I'm off to go watch the guys play video games. Hopefully I'll get to play at some point. If not, it's more xanax and bed.
