The Day After Christmas

Well,  Finally it is the day after Christmas.  We had a nice day yesterday.  It was quiet until 4 o clock.  Everybody came in at once.  Melody and the family, Dominic and the family.  And Linda Ceroni, Laural and young Tony.  We ate and ate again.  Then we opened presents.  The kids, of course, were happy with what Santa brought.  They were happy with their Xboxes.  Angelo cried when he opened his retro blue and yellow Eagles Jersey and hat.  I thought he would not let me go.  He almost broke my glasses.  Anthony looks great in his Dallas Jersey.  Today is Wednesday already and Joyce and Bunky stopped for a visit.  They were bringing Benny back home after spending Christmas at their house.  I wish I could help her with Benny but thats not happening.  Well, Sal and Gloriebelle are relaxing over there on the chair so maybe I will get to use the puter tonite.  G'nite to all and Merry Christmas.

Its December 18th already.  Why am I worried.  Cuz I did not get these kids much for Christmas and I am afraid Melody did not either and now I don't know what else to get them.   There is just nothing that is interesting enough.  They are way past most of the toys.  I know what I would like to do.  I would like to take the money and buy them 2 XBox 360.  One for each family.  but I can't even suggest that to Hubby.  He would really freak out.  Oh well, I still have about 6 days to figure this out. 

Anthonys Birthday

Wow, here it is December 8 already.  Oh, Melody and I went to a concert last nite at Convention Hall in AC.  I have not been in Convention Hall for many years.  Gosh, when we were kids we used to run around in there.  It brought back memories of ice skating on Saturday mornings on the Ice Capades rink.  Enough of that!  Melody gets tired of me reminiscing about early years in AC.  I  think I used to go tired of  my mother reminiscing about Camden too.  But it was great concert.  Trans Siberian Orchestra.  Hard Rock and a light show.   She was worried that I did not like it but I was ready to stay for more.  It was great.

We had a little birthday thing for Anthony tonite.  He is nine years old now.  We had Subs for supper and then a cake and he opened his presents.  Me and Salvi had a sugar free pie.  Sal took my sugar about a week ago and it was waaaaay to high.  So I have been omitting sugar.  Hey, maybe thats why I never feel too good.  Who Knows??  

I had to come up with a new way to get the toilet paper holder in as a present.  I will tell you about that another time.  But guess what I did this time.  I took a picture of it and put it in a folder.  I didn't go over with roars of laughter but Sal has no sense of humor and of course Shane, he is in never never land most of the time.  But I did get a picture of his reaction for another year.

Just kinda wasting the day away

Uh oh,  the last entry was November 12th.  If I do this Journal thing, I better add something more often.  I am still learning how to add things on here.  Went to Shop Rite early this morning.  It was good to get that out of the way.  I can't leave there with less than a $200.00 order anymore.  I keep blaming myself but I thnk it is the same for everyone and the price of food is so high.  Don't feel too good today.  I don't want this Journal to be about me not feeling well all the time but sometimes you can't avoid it.  Some stomach pains.  Now what could that be? 

     Sal went to a funeral Mass for a little 4 year old on his bus.  She was a sickly little thing with her own private nurse that rode the bus too.  He has become very close with the family.  It seems funny (neat)  that he has acquired his own little life with this bus driving job.  An old school chum from his past is an aide on his bus and they have become very close.  They did not see each other for what?  40 some years and now they are working together.

     Oh yeh,  I have a Brisket in the oven.  I never knew how to cook one.  I am not good with cooking beef.  I either make it too well done of not done enough.  But I saw Emeril do one the other nite and I thought I would try it.  It has to cook slowly for 5 hours. 

  Gonna have a cup of tea and continue to  straighten up this house before he gets back.

Its Armistice Day or Veterans Day

I lost the very first entry into this Journal.  i think I spend most of my life looking for things.  So here is some of what I misplaced.  I am 63 years old.  I am a school bus driver for the County school for the handicapped.  Hubby, he's the one over there on the couch---->  is retired from a plastic factory and now drives a school bus too.  We are both off from work today for Veterans Day.  I was up at 4 AM....Old habits are hard to break.  So I have been spending the morning going over some bills.  Having lots of heart palpitations the last few days.   As I get better at this Journaling, I hope to make it a little more interesting and prettier.

What happened?

What happened.  Sheesh, I was typing and everything disappeared.   I guess it will take a little  time to get used to blogging.   Oh well, I am back anyway.  Would anyone believe I have watched 8 hours of Football today.  That is way too much.  Eagles won for a change.
