Sisser Went Back to Indiana!
Well my sister went back to Indiana today. Of course, we ALL cried!!!
My girls really had the worst time with her leaving. They cried themselves to sleep last night knowing she was leaving today. As I was driving the kids to school this morning, my sister came outside to say bye. Christy didn't even want to look in her direction. Christy waved quickly and then turned her head and looked on the opposite side of the street. I think that was her way of dealing with it and trying to stay strong. BUT yanno her mommy saw right past all that and seen the sadness in her actions.
Boo seemed to be ok today after crying all night. She was sure attached to her auntie though. Right when we were about to walk out the door to take sisser to the airport, Nathan (my cousin's husband) knocked at the door. He wanted me to baby sit his three kids. This really was a blessing in disguise because he has Leilani who is about a year younger than Boo. Boo loves playing with her so she didn't want to go to the airport. Thank goodness because I think we would have all cried even more once Boo actually realized sisser was getting on the plane to leave.
As for Mom, Odie & myself, we all cried like big babies. I just wish my sisters boyfriend would get a job here in town so we could all be together. After all when he first started dating my sister, he said his plans were to get a job here so sisser could be near family but his actions aren't showing that. **sighs** I don't think he has or ever had intentions for this to happen.

Winners And Still Champions!!!
Yes folks, we had our family game night. We only have this game night maybe once a year if that.
We invited our cuzzies (Karen & Maimee) over to play our normal young team against older team in Pictionary. Karen showed up ready to play but Maimee couldn't make it. She really missed out.
Usually the teams are made up of Sance, Odie & Maimee against Me, Cuzzy & Gram. Tonight we had different teams. The young team consisted of Sance, Odie, Christy & Joseph. The older team was the normal team of Me, Cuzzy & Gram.
The game started out great. Both teams moving ahead but then the younger team jumped ahead by a big margin. Us older folks didn't let that get us down and we came back to win the game. Yayyyyy!!! Go Ladies!
So now we head to the livingroom to play a different game. A new game that we wanted to try called "Scene It!" This is really a fun game that has to do with movies, actors, actresses & famous lines. This game is played on the television using the dvd player.
Anyhoo, we used the same teams. The older folks against the young ones. Once again, the young team jumped ahead BUT the older folks came back to win the game. Yayyyy!!! Go Team! Go Team!!
So once again...Winners & still champions!!! Awww maybe next year kids! Muwahahahaha!!!!!

Day in the Spa
Today was a beautiful warm spring day! We spent the day in the spa as though it was a pool. The water temperature was perfect. The amount of water wasn't so perfect. Once sisser and I got in, we came to the assumption they put way too much water in those damn things. LMAO!!!
Did you actually think I would post with us in the spa? Muwahahahahahaha I think NOT!!!
Picture this!?! In this spa, there was myself, my sister, my son who is over 6 feet tall, my 10 year old daughter who is just as tall as I am and my little 3 year old daughter, Boo. Yes folks, we all fit. We play a game in there called a "Whirlpool." We all lay on our bellies and all go in the same direction making a huge whirlpool. Yes, feet in your faces, butts getting in your way because they aren't moving fast enough, little ones riding on your back so they don't get swam over & laughter because we all know we look like dorks!!!
I can't wait to do it again tomorrow!!!

Before & After
Yanno with Rancine & Maimee together, we call them the "Grusome Twosome." Well now with Rancine, Maimee & Odie, I guess I will have to call them the "Triple Threat."
Notice, how sweet and innocent they look before the whole chitload of drinks.
And then notice how ONE drink can make all the difference. LOL

The Fat Stack
The "Fat Stack" not to be confused with the "Short Stack" at Denny's. Although all those faces look as round as pancakes, we are NOT pannie-cakes!
I think we just like to eat lots of them and therefore we resemble a BIG plate of pannie-cakes.
OMG! This picture is so damned funny! I'm not sure who said we should take a picture of our wrist bands. The club gave us all blue wrist bands so we could go in and out of the clubbie. So we took a picture of our hands. See?
I know kind of dorkie. But then someone said lets lay on the table and take a pic of our faces. So we did!!! And to think about it now, I was the only sober one. What was my excuse?!? They were all drunk; they are allowed to act silly and stuff. Again, I ask what was my excuse?!? Hmmmm...

The Gurlies Night Out
Gurlies(from left to right): Me, Rancine (youngest sisser), Odie (next youngest sisser by a minute), Kernyen (Cuzzy) & Maimee (little cuzzy)!
Its been a long time coming; we needed a gurlies night out. We have all done this before but this is the first time Maimee got to go out with us. Yayyyy!!!
TidBits
Taking self portraits while having dinner at the Elephant Man Restaurant (pictures soon to follow).
Feeling great because us older folks (Cuzzy & myself) got carded.
Joy of seeing Maimee's face squinched up after an old man, who we will call Walter Matthau asked her to dance.
Me dancing with heels on even though my baby toe is broke.
Cuzzy trying to convince us she can hold her liquor well (red faced and slurring).
Amazement at Rancine having 3 - 25 ounce Miller Lite beers without having to pee yet!
Odie ordering herself my favorite drink -- a gazillion Kamikaze's. Seriously folks I think she drank 10 plus!
Guys dying to dance with Maimee because she is such a great dancer.
Running into old friends everytime I go to this club (once a year if that).
We finished at the club with a "Fat Stack" (picture soon to come).
We finally ended our night out with Breakfast at Denny's; Yes folks, we started with dinner and ended with breakfast!!!

Updates
I have made some updates to my pictures. Please take a look. Also I have added a new blog link. Yayyyy, its my other cuzzy. You can see it here.
Last Night
On Thursday nights, we (Kernyen, Odie & Myself) usually have our Girl Scout meeting. We had a meeting last night but it wasn't actually a meeting. We had our Investiture. An investiture is when you welcome a girl into Girl Scouts for the first time or when you rededicate a girl who is returning to Girl Scouts. We have 9 girls in our troop. Most were brand new Girl Scouts with the exception of 2. We rededicated both girls, Christy & Michelle.
I thought the Investiture went well. Yanno how you start talking to a group of people and I have talked in front of all these people before but all of a sudden you mouth is moving but what you want to say isn't flowing out nicely. OMG thats what happened last night in the beginning of my so called speech. Literally, I wanted to cry at one point because my lines weren't flowing nicely. I was even forgetting all my girls names. LOL After the whole thing was ova, my hubby came up to me and said...."I see you forgot some of the girls names and you had to grab their shoulder to remember." Dang, I didn't realize that it was that noticeable but I guess it was. Geezzzzzz!
Anyhoo, we usually go out to eat after our meetings but we weren't supposed to go last night because my little sister is in town and we are going out to party tonight. Maimee showed up at the Investiture along with my sister so of course we still went out to eat. We called ourselves going somewhere cheap because like I said we are going out tonight, we went to Denny's but honestly that wasn't very cheap. LOL

A Whole Lot of Nuttin'
As you all know, Rancine is home visiting. We haven't done a whole heck of a lot since she has been home. We both got to babysit my niece, Natalie. We watched her for a whole week while Mary & Rene' went to Puerto Vallarta. Yes, I did get a T-shirt. LOL
Before Mary went to Mexico, we all went to have our picture taken with mom. We all pitched in and had them done professionally. I don't think we have ever done that. Out of the gazillion poses they made us take, only one turned out nice. We bought that package and bought mom a huge picture to put on her wall. We also bought a single 8x10 of another pose. We bought that one because our youngest sister looked so tute next to mom. Rancine is gonna keep that pose for herself.
On Sunday evening, we finally got to go play bingo. Again, I didn't win but mom did. Geez, I'm not taking her anymore!!! I think she is a jinx for me.
Mary and Rene' got back from Puerto Vallarta on Friday night. We went to my cousin, Pam's house for Mikel's birthday party. We ended up coming home early because Mary and Rene' were still tired as well as my hubby. He had to work Friday night and didn't sleep on Saturday yet because we went to the party.
Anyhoo, everyone has gone home. Mary, Rene' & Natalie went home Sunday afternoon. Mom went home Monday evening. She took Rancine home with her as well as my youngest daughter, Boo. Monday night was so quiet that I got to go to bed early without any noise to wake me. Yayyyy!!!
Silence is gone now. Boo wanted to come home today so I have all the kids making noise. Calgon take me awayyyyy!!! Rancine will probably be back tomorrow. Dad is coming in on Thursday to see Rancine. So yanno what that means? Yup you guessed it! I'm gonna have a full house again this weekend.
What happened to my sleep in days? Huh? Does anyone know where they went?

Big Weekend Coming Up
This is gonna be one heck of a weekend. Right now, I am trying to get my house cleaned spotless because I have company coming over this weekend. Even though its family that is coming ova, I hate to have my house messy. Not that they haven't seen my house messy BUT I just like it to look picture perfect when they are here.
Notice I said when they are here? Yuh when they are here because when they aren't here its total chaos! LOL Okies, its not that bad but it does get that way sometimes ... like when I go on strike and let it be known that I'm not doing any house work until my kiddies and hubby help out.
Anyhoo, not only am I having company this weekend, I have booth sales this weekend. Yes, while my family is visiting, I have to go and be with a bunch of gurlies selling cookies. I have booth sales on Saturday and Sunday. OMG, what was I thinking?!?
Yanno my company consists of my sissers, my bro-in-law and my wittle niece. I get Natalie for the whole week. My sister, Mary and her hubby, Rene' are going on a cruise so I get to watch my niece for the week. We are all looking forward to that except my sister but yanno how that goes... this is the first time she will be leaving her for such a long time.
Okies I have lots of stuff to get done. Who made me come and type all this when I have so much to do. Geezzz!!!
