Aunt Theresa, Come quick!

My sister Theresa finally bought a new car, in her 33 years of driving, she never had a brand new car. She bought a 2010 Toyota Matrix.



Last night I had to drive my sister home from our neice's block party so we stopped to look at her car. Now my boys are car nuts, they have to sit in every seat, touch every button and gadget.

All of the sudden I hear Mary Jo, "Aunt Theresa, come quick, the boys are touching your prndl!" We both said "WHAT" and she repeated it again. We walked over to the car to see what the hell she was talking about and I about pee'd my pants. She was pointing to the gear shift and yelling "That thing, THE PRNDL!"

That must be the first time she has seen a gear shift on the console. All my cars have it on the column. Well my girl was the laugh of the night. I wish I had it on video to show how funny it was.

Thanks Mary Jo for the belly full of laughs!

Starting over again

It sure has been a long time since I have visited and put down my thoughts. So I thought I would give it a try again.

This year has not been so good for me. I have had some rough months but have also had some good months.

I got fired in April, that was a not so good but good month. I really did not like my job or my boss and his wife. They were very well off people and did not know how to treat people very well unless you wanted to suck ass, and I am not one to do that.

I got to spend the last 2-1/2 months helping out at the kids school. That was fun. We went on field trips, we had class parties, we had Olympic day. We had fun!!

The first month of summer break was good, we did all kinds of stuff, nothing that cost too much money cause I have none, but we did fun stuff. We rode bikes, we planned our block party, we went to the museums, we hung in the pool (the kids did, i am too huge for a suit and my pool is in the front yard so everyone that drives by can see me).

In July we had a great 4Th, partied with the family, went on vacation to the Dells, our annual trip. It was nice. The weather was not too good, it rained off and on the whole time, but we made the best of it. The last night there, we went on a Pirate Cruise with the kids, we all dressed in Pirate get-up, there were about 20+ of us on the boat. After the 2 hour trip and a lot of booze, we went back to the camp site to feed the kids and low and behold, hubby and I had words. Nothing big I thought but he still has not gotten over it. Today is day 5, I am so tired of it. I am trying to make the best of everything.

I am gonna go for now, I have a lot of people to visit and see what has been going on with them. Missed you all!

UPDATE ON AUNT SOPHIE

Whew....

Thanks God, Aunt Sophie is feeling better. She is such a "BEAR" (no pun intended), when she's not feeling well. She went from being sick, to being "psyched" for the Super Bowl.

She is up in AGE, you know.... she still thinks the Chicago Bears are in the Super Bowl. Just go with it... you DON'T want to "cross" Aunt Sophie!!!!

Love,
Patti and Aunt Sophie

THAT DAMN FLU BUG IS AT IT AGAIN

I got this e-mail from my sister in regards to Aunt Sophie.


Hi....

Update on Aunt Sophie.... This morning while we were having coffee in the Parlor, she said she was chilled. So, not only did I put the fireplace on, I covered her legs with a blanket.



As the day went on, she started feeling nausea and gassy.... so, she was on the "pot" for most of the day.



Now she's laying in bed with a slight temperature. I gave her a cool wet rag to put on her head. Guess has the 24 hour flu.



I'll let you know how she's feeling in the morning.

Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes!

Love,Patti & Aunt Sophie

Tuesday fill in

New Do's and To Do's

Today is a holiday and everyone had it off but me :(. When I got home from work today I had the best little treat. My house was SPOTLESS, my laundry was all done (except the Dryel stuff) and my boys had hair cuts. This was the best Monday by far.

My Front Room


The kids front room



The Dining Room - B-day present still out


The Kitchen





And last but not least....The boys hair cuts




I have also decided to steal something from Brenda, Menu Monday. I like that idea because everyday we go 'round and 'round about whats for dinner.
