THANKSGIVING 2010

Hello Nice People,

It's the day after Thanksgiving. We had a nice day yesterday. Melody, Shane and the kids were here for dinner. Dominic, Chas and Angelo came in later for pie and coffee. They go to her mothers and aunts earlier for dinner. We ate and talked and laughed. Thats good to do now and then. I am so lucky to have my kids and their families close by.
We have a part of the family who is not a good story. I never thought anything about the disease, Schizofrania. But hubby has a Neice who has this problem. She has social problems, and was recently evicted from her section 8 apartment because she harasses other tenants. Now, homeless and with only her cat, she has been living in her car down at the bay that looks over Ocean City. We have tried to help her with no luck. She is very, very combative and angry. The police know her very well, because she has been arrested so many times. We are in contact with the police. They say they cannot remove her til she does something wrong. Knowing her, it will eventually happen. It's getting cold. The police keep an eye on her continuously, riding by to make sure her car is running to keep her warm. Hubby gives her enough money when she needs it for more gas, but until things change, thats all she will let us do. I hope this situation will change soon.

THANKFUL THURSDAY

My son Dominic

My Grandson  Angelo

I am thankful for them both.  For their Health, their safety and that they have a wonderful relationship with each other.

HALLOTHANKSMAS

Yeh, Christmas.   Christmas is fast approaching, and I am not into it.  I am still reminiscing about Summer.  Actually it seems like Summer is just around the corner.  Well, I DO mean the corner back there. The one we passed a bit ago.  The weather is still warm and mild.  The trees haven’t even lost their leaves yet, and here it is mid-November.  Exactly one week from Thanksgiving.  What did we used to call this time of year?             Hallothanksmas.  Yeh, thats it, Hallothanksmas. I haven’t heard that for a long time.  Thats when three holidays run together.  Take a little ride and you see some houses with Hallloween decorations and some with Christmas decorations.  Now thats  Hallothanksmas.

I FINALLY DID IT

Oh gosh,  I forget how to post on my Blog.  Hmmmm, how did I used to put in pictures?  This is what I get for being MIA for so long. But who cares about that.  Well, while I was gone,  I went on another DIET.  This time, I did Low-Carb.  Started on August 4th of 2008.  Good Lawdy Miss Clawdy!!!!  That was 2 years ago!   And it worked!!  At least while I stayed on it.  Start eating carbs and guess what,  the weight comes back with a vengance.  So now, I’m trying to get back to the low-carb lifestyle.  Yes I am too trying.  Its the hardest thing…..so much harder than the first time.

There, I did it.  FINALLY a post on my BLOG.  I’ve been wanting to do this for so long, but for some reason, I just  couldn’t find the words in my little old head.  Now, I have to figure out how I used to put in pictures.    Bear with me!!!!!

Hello nice people,
It's 4 AM. Sunday morning, February 14. I am up and wide awake. I woke up around 3 and couldn't get back to sleep. I finally got up and made a cup of tea. Let's see, whats good at 4 AM. Apple and spice and a Green tea bag. Put them together with 4 Splendas. Hmmmm, tastes pretty good. Although I miss the creamer that I usually put in tea. But I don't think creamer goes with apple and green tea. What is the use of laying there when you can't sleep. So many things start to whirl around in the old brain. And the world always seems worse in the middle of the night. I think I even blogged about this before.....on one of those other sleepless nights. Actually, I did sleep well from 10 o'clock til now.
This might be a good time to try and make an entry on my blog. I have really been avoiding it for such a long time. I haven't even been keeping up with other blogs. Maybe I am over rested. We have been off for what? 4 days because of the snow. Well, I did have to go out Friday for a short run. One of the high schools was open and it was my responsibility to get them there. AND....I got stuck!!!!!!! Got stuck between a car that was sticking too far out into the road and a snow bank on the other side. Everytime I tried to squeeze by, the bus would slide so close to this car that I couldn 't get a slip of paper between them if I tried.
High blood pressure time. People are so inconsiderate. This guy never shoveled out his driveway, so he just left his car half in the street and went in the house. It was 6 o'clock in the morning and here I am trying to knock down a snowbank with a broomstick in someones elses neighborhood. From the satellite, it must have been funny scene. Thank goodness the satelite doesn't have sound!

We are halfway through the school year. I am a counter. I think the Sesame Street Count should be my hero. February 11th was the hundredth day. That means 80 to go. And its SUMMER TIME!!!!! applause, shouts of joy. Now I am really rambling. Is it because I'm trying to fill space or the green tea is working. Well maybe I will get comfy in my recliner with a blanket and catch a few before its time to get ready for church. Niters.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz.....What a world!
