Pictures from last night and today.
The first is Jack hanging out having some popcorn before bed and watching Santa Movies. He is really just soo cute and soo wild at times. I took him to see the Big Santa at the Mall and he was so excited. Until it was his turn and man he threw the breaks on. He had been dancing in the line and jumping up and down waving blowing kisses, then Santa said "cmon over Jack" Not a chance. He freaked and took offf down the aisle of the mall.
Missi is working diligently on her gifts for her friends. She began with clay and formed lil critters. fired them on the oven and is pictured painting them up. Truly she is talented and patient and more than I am in theat field. I so love her.
Allie had a headache last night and said Im going to take a "quick" nap. Well she laid down at 430 and we all did our thing around her in the LR. Andy worked, I cooked, Missi worked on her critters and Jack was a dancing Santa watching singing elf. She slept without a budge til 9! OOHHH the sleep when you are 18.
Today was Jacks Christmas "show" at the school he attends. He didnt really know what was going on obviously, but we were there and watched him stand in front of all the parents anticipating their 2 yo kids to sing songs and he just looked around and called MAMA. He lasted about 5 minuted spotted me and that was it, we plucked him from the group and watched the end of the show. I must say he was the cutest one there with his Navy corduroy suit and blue oxford.Very collegiate.
The pic is from the car ride to school with us and He and sister in the back goofing off with the camera.
He certainly knows what that is though. pull out the camera and he says CHEEEEEZ
I will write again soon.
Andy went to NY state to pick up the hardwood floors for the house. He will be back tomorrow and he will be MIA working on that until move day which is two saturdays from now.

The Kiss

  It has been 75 days. When I went to bed at night I would cry, every night.  My Mom would begin the process of "bedtime" at least 30 minutes before I actually had to go to my room.  She would give me the countdown. "Next commercial break"  "Ten more minutes"  "Go get your last drink of water" Some nights she would begin to doze and I would squeeze another 10 minutes until the dreaded bed time. Then began the process.  We would go to my room, which was only 12 feet from the living room in all actuality, but it was miles in my little girl heart.  Mom would pull down the covers, tuck me in, give me all of my comfort things and then I would cry.  The more she tried to make me comfortable with the thought of sleeping, alone, the harder I would cry.  If she would just say go to bed, it would have been easier. We would say my prayers together, Our Father, Hail Mary and then all of the God Bless's. The God Blesses were my definite way to get her to ...

 When I was in High School my best friend was Amy.  I don't remember how we met or where, but somehow we just clicked.  I believe it was probably on the patio where in the 1980's you could go outside and smoke cigarettes with your friends on free mods or breaks.  Yep those were the days.   We were in 10th grade which made us 15.  I smoked Parliament light 100's  with the recessed filters (IYKYK) and she smoked Benson and Hedges.  She was a cheerleader that was so far from the "cheerleader" type it would crack us up.  We wrote notes in those days, scraps of paper that we would purge our daily trials onto, fold in some triangular football shape and pass to one another in the hall.  We could fill a note throughout the day and then I would throw it into a box for the ages to find someday.  We were able to talk endlessly about music, people, boyfriends, animals, school, college, parents, divorce, siblings, hours of chat.  We al...

 Lets talk about graduation parties!  Should I order the chicken scampi or marsala for the chicken dish?  Cakes and cupcakes or cookies?  DJ or photo booth or both? So we decorate the cake with Wyoming Seminary as a graduate or Penn State as his college destination? No, we wont talk about that.  You know, the "drophimoffandleavehimtherepart" or the "Ihaveabsolutelynopurposewithouthiminmydailygrind" lets not forget "Whenyoufoughttoliveforthisboyandnowheisgoingwhylive?" OK OK I'm not going to end my life because Jack is leaving for college, but for christs sake what the fuck is my purpose now?  I am struggling, struggling with so many things right now. I know my struggle on paper is nothing compared to so many other people.  My weight, my hair, my boy, my heart, my future.  I want to just get to the point where I can just take him and drop him off.  Rush through this summer and get it over with, pull off the bandaid quick and start the new chap...
