Stir Crazy
My inlaws are visiting from India for the first time in 12 years and are therefore staying for a slightly extended period of time (~6 months). They do threaten to leave every couple of weeks, but so far that doesn't seem to have happened. Mind you, I am not complaining. I actually like having them around for the most part; they are great with the little boy and help out around the house a bit. However, my mother-in-law has a health problem that severely restricts mobility (hence no trip in the last 12 years) which means that we've been stuck in the city since mid-April. It is the first summer that we haven't taken a trip (and probably won't take a trip) anywhere. I do like the peace and quiet in the city during the long weekends (Memorial Day, today), but am beginning to feel a bit stir-crazy. The heat, the crowds, the steam from the subway vents, the increasing number of homeless people on my street, the noise - it's all getting under my skin a bit.
