Flaming June's Love

this is missi. hah,I'm awesome with uploading these. although,my mom prolly dosen't have these many pictures of me in her possesion,but,who cares? XD Allie and I joke about that alot. Oh well, we're just mean like that I guess. haha,mom keeps asking me what I'm writing...am I gonna tell her? OF COURSE NOT! The suspense is killing her,it's fun to see her spazz over there on the couch: "What're you writing?! tell me what you're writing!" hah,okay,I'm done being mean now.

One year ago today we were at Geisinger Medical center. My Dad was one day post cardiac cath and was up and walking around the hospital as if he were there for weeks. He knew the nurses, the doctors that visited, the custodians and the women that delivered the flowers. We were getting ourselved ready for his bypass on Wednesday morning. We walked the halls back and forth. We pushed Jack in the carriage because he hadnt started to walk yet. Jack had learned by that point how to wave and say "hiya" enthusiastically to the same people he had just passed on the way down the hall. Pop loved it. He adored this boy. The day was spent discussing the after recovery period. I told him he wouold recover quicker because he wasnt recovering from a c section and bypass as I was and he was going to be an off pump bypass whereas I was on a pump. ( long technical stuff story) We talked about walking together, excercising, golfing. He wanted to go to a golf tournament next week an...

OK so here is how the week went. Iam working Mon and Wed mornings teaching. The holiday and our vacations screwed up my teaching schedule so I had extra classes to make up.Allie is now working at Kohls in town and that seems to have all ofus in change as well. Andy is away at reserve drill this next t wo weeks and that is disturbing since He MAY BE GOING TO AFGHANISTAN. He swears he is not able to go but I just have a feeling it is going to more of fight for him not to go than the US Army is wanting to put up with. The clincher of the week was Allies orientation for Immaculata this Friday and Saturday. You know that place. 1. two hours away 2. total strangers 3. drop off the first of three most important items in your entire world- and LEAVE her there 4. for an indefinite amount of time. 5. Grown man sitting next to her in the registars office making chatter about the classes they will have TOGETHER!!!!! 6. Security guards that check those who enter the building where she will...

Missi on the left 15. Allie onthe right 17. This is the night they were very very bad girls. The local Parochial HS that Allie just graduated from is closing and consolidating with three other HS's from the county. So Bishop Hoban HS is no more. Missi will return in the fall to Holy Redeemer HS. Make a long story short they thought fun would be to break the law and steal the letters from the sign out front the school. They are lucky they didnt get arrested. But they got away with a B and an H intact and split the scene. Allies buds posing infront of the sign they were about to deface. "Good Catholic School Girls" mhhmphhh The girls down the shore. They dont look alike but they are definately sisters. I am so proud and happy they are getting closer all the time. Pictures from a RAVE party they were at. I know the Rave party's have bad rap but there were no drugs involved ... only alcohol. (bad enough but what can I do about it now.)

Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. We remain behind, all of us in my family. My mother, my three brothers and their wives and my 4 nieces and nephews. My children who are daily reminders of how wonderful a life I grew up with. My husband did not, and still does not have a positive male role model. His father left them as children. He remains a negative highly critical man. Last week we brought Andy's dad to the house and there was not one positive comment. too big, too expensive, unnecessary. you cant take care of this. infuriating. I couldnt help bu think of my dad who would be there everyday to watch the progress and chat with the workers and learn something everyday. I am an evil person but why is it that bad people can live forever and my Dad is in a fucking box in my moms bedroom? Why is it that his Dad is almost 70 and has three kids that he doesn...
