A lot has happened since I last posted, however nothing tremendously exciting. Let's see. I left off with a note that we were heading over the border. We did. Went to the Seneca casino. Sugarbooger won $800 and I won $400 playing blackjack. Not bad.
The boy across the street that was in the horrific car accident died in April.
My Grandma died May 14. Her body stopped making blood, so she was getting transfusions daily. My Mom and Dad were in Holland for three days when they got a call stating that things were going downhill - fast. They arrived back at some ungodly time in the morning after a lengthy flight. Luckily they made it in time to say their goodbyes. Grandma died a few hours later.
Early June. Child number 1 informed me she is pregnant. I just about had a heart attack. I was not prepared for this news. But, now that a few months have passed since she dropped the bomb, I'm actually looking forward to it. I really don't want to be a grandma at 38 but I suppose I will be a lot more fun now than I would be when I'm old and creaky. Looking as though it's going to be a girl. She's due to arrive on January 21.
June. Child number 3 started football. His first game is scheduled for this coming Sunday. He is all ready to go. He just attended a Tim Horton's mini camp where all the kids got to practice with some of the Hamilton Ti cats. Too bad he was sick as a dog. Massive head cold. He toughed it out for the first six stations, but had to sit out for the seventh. He felt so sick, he skipped the autograph session and asked that we go straight home. Poor kid.
July. Child number 3's birthday. My baby is now 10. Very scary.
Tom and I spent a weekend in Chicago with Tim and Nancy. Got to see Daryl and his girlfriend Holly (and their dog, Layla). Did the usual tourist things and we went to see Rascall Flatts play at Wrigley's Field while we were there too. We were on what's called the rooftops. It was a lot of fun, even if I didn't know a single song. Free booze. Because I wasn't the DD, I actually kicked back and had a few (or seven or eight).
Child number 2 bowled in the Canusa games in August. We had a boy named Jordan J. from Flint, MI. stay with us for the weekend. I took the kids to Niagara Falls. Went on the Maid of the Mist and wandered around like tourists. Had a lot of fun.
What else? Yesterday was Tom's birthday. Bought him half of a putter ($100 gift card for Golf Town) and stocked him up with sugary sweets (a tub of Double Bubble and a huge package of Reese peanut butter cups). He is on his way to Hamilton Golf and Country Club as I type this... going to try out his new club!
That about brings this blog back up to date. I have left a lot out, but I'm sure I'll fill in the blanks as I go along.
So there you have it. My life in a nutshell! OMG - remember the show the Greatest American Hero? The theme song is playing on the radio right now. I'm likely going to be singing it all day long now. Terrific.
Alright - I'm signing off. My stalker is North this week so I am at work with no one to talk to. Makes for a very long day! Hope she's having a blast! (ahhh - almost her birthday!)
