cottage bursting at the seams

Well I haven't written since the long weekend- all things planned occurred except that my brother and his family and his sister in law all went to the cottage too and never told me they were going- Now this cottage is a family cottage so it's not mine or anything per se, but given that I was the only one to stay over night in the last 2 years it would have been handy or at least logical to send me a note that they were planning on being there- They have 5 people in the family plus the s-i-l. That's a lot! They brought a tent and planned to be in it at least in part, but this is going to be a shitty summer if I have to share with them all the weekends I can even make it up there-

It was just too much- 3 small kids dropping things everywhere and up at dawn plus 2 older kids who wanted some quiet and stay up late then sleep in-

I was so upbeat about the time and now I am kinda upset that they are just showing up and by that I mean not warning me so we can coordinate things better- It's not like they ever used to come up- So I think that the courtesy is on them to start it off with saying - we plan to stay up over night this year summer so maybe we should coordinate things- are you going up this weekend ?

I guess I get irratated because I cleanned the cottage; ( fridge stove counters vacumed corners and behind stuff when first reopened) bought the sheets made the beds bought all new pillows and then cut grass haul out chairs and put out the water trampoline and boats -

It's alot then when you want to enjoy it someone else shows up.
