Seven Days and Seven Nights or is it Cast Away?

I feel a little bit like Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks stranded on an island since my mother in law arrived 10 days ago. It’s like forever already that she is here and there is no chance of getting away from this island in the near future. There is almost no private moment in this house anymore. “Grandma” is everywhere. She is there when I come out of our bedroom to leave for work at 6.30 AM and she is there at 4.30 PM when I come home from work. And you probably guessed it - she is around until it is time to go to bed. The only moment of freedom I get is when I get up at 5.00 AM to go running and do my morning workout.
I feel sorry for Logan, too. As nice as it is for him to have Grandma here (and I really mean it), he cannot play for himself a moment. She has to interrupt him with comments or the attempts of having him to drink or to eat. The poor kid must get confused and must overreact at one point. One thing we noticed - he does not like to be near grandma when either Simone or me is around. Again I really mean it - I feel sorry for Grandma (mother in law). When she was here in April she broke her arm and did not get her quality time with Logan and now that she is back he is a few months older and shows different behavior.
What shall I say. Only 34 more days to go until my mother in law will go back to Germany. Does this qualify for any kind of medal?
