Well... mom's
house is full!
a full house
is an active house.. That's for sHure. Especially now that
the kids are here.
Bella
and Courtney
- annette's
children are adorable!
Last night Jackie,
Aunt
Tina, Annette and the little girls made it in late -
11 hours on the road! yikes! but they make it and we all
settled in and crashed all over the house.
I call the kitchen
floor!
heh!
last time I slept
on the kitchen floor I think wHas when frank
and I were living together - a different situation - alot
of alcohol and woke up with the catbox next to me...
good times! heh!
Am wHay tired
this morn as are all of us from last nite's sleep - the
girls were unsettled and couldn't sleep... so neither could
the rest of the Klan
I think about
4:30 we all fell asleep except Aunt Tina - who I think amazingly
slept through the whole commotion.
It's so good
to see everyone especially Jacki She's grown her hair out
and it's looks beautiful. There's alot of catching up we
both have to do.
We are going
to fix a big dinner today - a ham and roast... hopefully
Rae
Ann - Aunt
texi and uncle
Tom will join us today or tomma.
There will be
plenty of food for the next couple days as always with our
family. Can't have a family gathering without a lot of food!
heh! it's the "cook"
whay.
I am so happy
to have my family here especially after how I was feeling
yesterday from that dream. The haunting feeling eventually
wearing away as I spent the day with mom. We did one of
our favorite things - A shopping spree at Walmart!
Mom and I went
out the day before to a casino - I think the sunset station?
Mom did really well! She won a 1000 quarters on the wheel
of fortune and about another 100 bucks later.. I think which
paid for our time there at the station - our lunch and also
the shopping spree at Walmart.
We played bingo
and damn if I could hardly keep up! How do those old ladies
do it!?! heh! I was in a "dobber" frenzy and didn't
even get my second complementary drink! damn!
anyhew .. here
I sit outside smokin' my cigg - drinking my coffy - writing
and hearing the voices of my loved ones inside.. Even though
I'm tired from the lack of sleep last nite, I have this
warm feeling inside... that only my family can give me ..
it makes me so happy to be able to write about them. And
us being together this Easter Holiday on the last few pages
of this journal. It's a nice finish and a good beginning
for my next journal - given to me by Beth..
Going forward
from here with my family all around me and back to Chicago
to go forward with what will come next...
