Chilly Monday!
Good Evening Vickie and OFF Family,
Sorry I've been AWOL lately. Not been very chatty, especially after that disastrous Eagles game yesterday.
Spent the day watching Frankie in the morning and after lunch, then all three after school. Oh my goodness, did Frankie throw a royal fit on me. He hit Lincoln with a plastic toy sword, and I took it away. He was so overtired, he just threw a temper tantrum when I took it. He calmed down when I went to hold him. But, he didn't come out of the bedroom till Trent got home. When he got home, Lincoln was crying, because he and Izzy both wanted to play school, and she wouldn't let him be the teacher. Thank God Daddy got home just then.
I became a great-aunt this afternoon. My niece Erin had baby Jackson this afternoon. He's 8 pounds 8 ounces, 20 inches long. My sis-in-law sent me a picture.
Must scoot.
Love,
Trish

HI Trish....you have been missed!! Sorry about the Eagles game.
Sorry Frankie had such a fit. You were right about taking his toy away when he hit Lincoln with it. He must have been really tired, I have never heard that there was any problem before. I am glad Lincoln was okay. I think Frankie needed that time to himself until Trent came home. This time a year effects the young as well as the old!!!
Congratulations on becoming a new great-aunt today!!! That is exciting. Babies at the holidays are so special!! He was a good size little guy too!
Have a great evening....I am heading to bed soon. I am just worn out!
Much love and many hugs my friend....connie d
Evening OFF family...wow its down to 19* here already!!! Made it to 30* and YES we got that crappy white stuff here!!! About 5 inches of it. YUCK!!!!!! The heavy stuff the guys had to SHOVEL not snowblow!!!!! And yes tenants called wanted to know why their snow wasn't cleaned yet. I told them we put buildings in a jar and pulled one out and theirs wasn't the first to be done and hung up. LMAO!!!!!!! WTH do they think the guys were doing? Playing cards???? SIGHS...
Had a call from a tenant this morning that there was a dead cat on a patio and could one of the guys come get it? OMG!!!! I called Chase as he was over that side...yes he would get it...it was one of the feral cats. Not sure why it died. Froze to death? Maybe. Not sure I believe that. Those cats are not dumb. Nothing I can do about them. WAY too many!!
Getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. So far ONLY 19 people signed up!!! WTH??!! Be interesting to see HOW MANY DO SHOW UP!!!!! Trust me I WILL say something in the newsletter!!!! We bought two turkeys one is almost 18 lbs and the other almost 15 lbs. And if there is ALOT left over I will make use of it for the lunch for Bingo Friday.
Getting another headache thinking about all this uproar...plus other things. Hopefully Friday it will be all over with!!! GOD I HOPE SO!!!!!!!!!!
Well its almost time to go lock up so best get going. Vic did you go see that house? Did you like it? Connie glad you had a ride that was not an all day ordeal!!! 8 years old already? WOW!!! Time has flown!!!! Happy Birthday Big Girl!!! 
Also hope you find that tea? recipe. I don't remember seeing that one.
Thoughts and prayers for ALL that need them!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hi Judy.....so you got the snow they predicted....fun huh?? The temp here is 13 degrees with the wind chill it is -9. The low tonight will be -1 with the wind chill of -13. This weather is killing me and you too I am sure!!
Sorry about that cat. I feel bad for it, but what can you do. Like you said there are just too many!
I hope your dinner goes well tomorrow. It will be interesting to see who actually shows up. I feel bad that under the cir****tances, you are stuck doing all the work! Leftovers are always good....especially turkey!!
So sorry that you are getting another headache. I know...but please try to put it out of your head tonight and tomorrow. There isn't anything you can do. Call me if you want to....anytime!! I love you!!!
It was so nice to run some errands and be home in an hour...wow!!! Pam called later this afternoon and wanted to know if I needed her to come over tonight. She said she would take me to get the package sent off. She hadn't talked to me about it since we went shopping.
I will pass the birthday message on to Grace tomorrow....thank you!!!
You please try to sleep well tonight. I am praying!!!
LOVE....HUGS....connie d
Hello sweet sistas!
Boy, oh, boy, was that house ever a BIG disappointment! You talk about a MESS on the inside. Apparently it was a foreclosure that someone was trying to "flip" for a big profit. Only they made such a mess of the rehab! Four or five different kinds of tile on the floors and NONE of them were the same height, color, size, etc. And the cheapest crappiest looking wood laminate floor they could find. And omg, the kitchen was a JOKE! They bought some cheap-ass ready made cabinets at Lowe's or Home Depot and then to make them look "custom" they wiped some yucky colored stain all over them. Only they didn't do a good job of that and each door looked different from its neighbor. And the cabinets were all plastic and particle wood on the insides.
And don't get me started on the master bedroom and bath! UGH!
So, it's a real shame because Butch really did like the neighborhood and the big yard and the little garage apartment was absolutely perfect for my mom! But even the realtor was walking around the house saying things like "this looks like crap!" LOL!
Well, we'll start looking again. Jenny (the realtor) is a great gal to work with and she knows what we're looking for and something good for us will turn up eventually.
Just wanted to let y'all know how the big house hunt went. It BOMBED!!!
