I was trying to think of something helpful to say to you, but I am at a loss. I will be in a similar situation for a couple of weeks, so I guess i will just say, may we both come out of it with our nerves in tact, and may we have a peaceful place that gives us a sense of calm during the loud, busy days of company.

Oh...and I don't know if this is helpful, but it may make you laugh : )...I bit someones head off today for saying, "enjoy the peace this season brings". I replied with "not everyone finds the holidays peaceful. I hate the holidays with a capital H!!!" I guess I am feeling grumpy today.
