Good Morning. I hope everyone had a good night's sleep last night. I am happy to say I had a full 9 hours of sleep. Wow, did I feel refreshed when I woke up. Rebecca did get up during the night, but she didn't wake us up. She said she came out into the livingroom with her duckie blanket and sat on couch for a while. Then she went to bed and covered up with just her sheet. When I got up at 7 this morning her blanket was on couch.
I drove Jim into work this morning. It's really nice outside. Cool, sunny and a gentle breeze. But it will be getting warmer today and back up to 90 tomorrow. I see signs that fall is coming. Alot of the flowers are dieing and leaves are turning brown. These tree's here in philadelphia have leaves that are just 2 colors. Either green or brown. No reds, oranges or yellow's at all.
I came home and checked the lottery. Jim plays Rebecca's birthday every week all week. He buys 1 ticket that is good for 7 days. He'll play 0913 every week. Well it came out 0319. He hit it boxed, so he won $100.00. I called his cell and told him. Made his morning, lol. This is the third time he's won on that number. Now he can go buy the ink cartridges for my new printer. It came with a temporary one, and the color is not good. There's no black so pictures look as though their tinted in green.
Today I am going to the Dollar store. I want to look for fall candle stick garnishes. And I have to pick up the pink and white paper plates, napkins and cups for the babyshower sunday. I am really upset with Dan's Mom. This is her granddaughter also that is coming next month and she has gone back on her deal with me. We were both suppose to put in 200.00 each towards this shower. She gave me 100.00 and that barely covered the invitations and postage for the invitations. Now I find out she is broke and is not going to help with the other 100.00. I guess she is broke. She goes to bingo everynight just about spending almost 200.00 per night, plus the cost of whatever she eats there. Oh and get this. She can't make it to the babyshower because she wants to go to bingo sunday with a small group of ladies. Dan says his Mom will never change. He remembers so many times as a kid that his mom gambled away her husbands paycheck at bingo and their electric would be turned off, and she'd go away for days at a time leaving only a pot of boiled potato's on the stove for the 10 boys she gave birth to, to eat while she was gone. Her husband was a truck driver and his check was direct deposited each week. Her husband left her over this. He did take care of his kids though.
So, it is up to me now to pay for all the food, decorations, cake and buy gifts for the baby also. I'll do it, even if I go broke. My daughter and son in law and my new grand daughter who will be here in a few weeks are far more important to me then the money I will spend. My family comes first, always.
I am going to Emmas after I go to Dollar store. And I hope and pray Dan's brother Bill is there. Cause that jerk is going to get a piece of my mind and attitude. Emma told him his mom is suppose to be helping me with this babyshower. Do you know what he had the nerve to say? Well, she gave your mom a 100 bucks, how much f---ing more money does she need? So, his ass will be hearing my roar today. This coming from a man who has been living with Emma and Dan for free. Mooching off them for month's. Is told daily to get a job or move out. I'd of thrown him out long ago, and I just might do so today if he pisses me off. He's living there paying nothing, eatting food bought for my daughter and grandkids and son in law. A few weeks ago, I go over there with a bottle of diet pepsi. He says from now on bring real pepsi, so we can have some. I looked him straight in the eyes and told him, Maybe if you got up off your ass and got a job you could buy your own pepsi. He went downstairs to his room, lol. Truth hurt I guess. He don't wanna get on my bad side. I'll attack first and ask questions later. Grrrrrrr, now I am mad. I hope he's there today, <evil grin here>.
Well, so now Jim's family isn't coming to the shower, Dan's mother isn't coming. A few of Dan's brother's aren't coming. No one else has RSVP the invitation. But the shower will go on. I will do my very best to make it special for Emma. And I will buy and cook all the food also. Jim said there is no bills next week, so I can use his paycheck this week for the babyshower.
Well, I'd better go now. I want to get an early start and come home early today from Emma's. I have a little bit of cleaning to do. Don't feel like doing it now, lol. I am behind in alerts, but am trying to get caught up on them. If I haven't paid you a visit in the past few days I will soon. Hope you all have a great day.
Love ya,
Glad you got a good nights sleep hon
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you! Going off on someone feels good. I went off on someone in J land and you know me I am a very kind guy who is caring of peoples feelings but when I told that person off MY GOD I felt 100 pounds lighter. I guess sometimes you just have to Spare feelings and let them know where you stand.
HAGD!

Cindy, That really sucks about Dan's mom, I know you will do your best to make Emma's shower special, Hugs Lisa
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why family memebers bail out on special occasions. It's ridiculous.

I sure hope you do get some kind of help. Boy...she sounds like a real winner! Have a great day! :o)
ReplyDeleteLisa
I have had the same thing with my family in the past, not over baby showers because we do not have them over here. But I know you will make it special for Emma because I know the person that you are. Well done to Jim on his win, I wish we could win something. We do the lottery every Wednesday and Saturday and never get a bean. Just a little something to make life easier would help. Hope you give that "gentleman" a real piece of your mind although he will probably hide again lol
ReplyDeleteOk...Dan's Mom is an IDIOT! This entry pissed me off! Between the Mom and the brother, well, they all need to go to HELL! (can you tell I'm pissed??) I know you'll make Emma's baby shower special. You are such a good and loving Mom. She's lucky to have you for a Mom. I'm sure she knows that.
ReplyDeleteI hope the brother is there, too! I want to hear what you had to say to him!!
Love ya sweetie,
Pam XOXOX

So sorry about all the trouble. It is a shame. But from what I have read in your journal, whether there are two or thirty, this shower will be a great sucess!
ReplyDeleteToodles,
Tia
hate when family is like that. I really do. Todds family totally not behind him or us!!!!! or is never there for us. But we do attend thier things
ReplyDeletei would never again invite that woman to anything because she just let you know she could care less.....what a selfish person...gambling is an addiction and hers sounds life long. Damn shame. Family can really suck!
ReplyDeletelove,lisa
Go get him Cindy... what an ass. I am glad you had a little windfall! Enjoy the printer!! Also very happy you got a good night sleep...

I'm sorry that so many family members are letting you down. I dont' think it's right that Jim's mom isnt helping or going. That's really sad. I know you will make it special. I wish all of J-land could be there for you.

Geesh... that sure isn't very fair, Cindy. I see again, though, that you always put your family first, and will make sure, come hell or highwater, that Emma has a nice shower. They don't deserve you, sometimes..

I can't believe everyone is backing out of the shower. It won't matter because I know it'll be special for Emma with the people who are there. So sorry the other grandmother doesn't feel the need to be there. That's exactly how Anthony's mother was she didn't come to KT's baby shower and never came to any of Ky's birthdays either and she was right in town. Biotch, but that okay because my grandson can't stand her.. she thinks it's because I tell him to hate her, but she did that crap all on her own. I never say anything around Ky about her. As far as the brother goes I'd kick his a-double-s out. I use to hate when Anthony would take advantage of KT that way and eat all of Ky's food. POS. Hope he is gone soon before that new baby comes.
