The wedding is today. I'm very excited. I really should be getting in the shower so I can do my hair (hopefully) later but I'm not motivated enough for that yet. The boys are going to look so cute. We had the rehearsal dinner Friday. That was awful. Matthew whined the entire time that he was bored or tired or hungry. Michael ran around the chapel, crawled under the seats and was just in a generally goofy mood. We had dinner at Aunt Kathleen & Uncle Nick's house. That was nice and laid back. So much better than a restaurant where my children would not have sit still. Aunt Kathleen sent the boys home with a giant bag full of candy. At first she grabbed a couple small snack bags. Bryan, being the smart ass he is, says she should give them a gallon size bag instead. She didnt have any so she gives them a turkey bag! They emptied her entire bowl into it and she grabbed two more bags of candy and dumped them on the table. They also took half of that. We played Aggravation. I forgot how much I like that game. The boys enjoyed it too. I should buy that for Christmas.
Jacob fell off the porch last night. :( Landed right on his head. His head and face are all scratched up. He looks pretty bad.
We went to the mall last night to get nylons. The damn things better fit right. I HATE buying nylons and then not having them fit properly. Mom bought some from Sears that I loved but I have no idea what kind they were. Hopefully these are similar. We also hit a couple jewelry stores. I cant believe how expensive some (all!) of this stuff is! Even the "cheap" jewelry was ridiculously expensive.
Matthew's birthday is Tuesday. He's going to be 8. (How the hell did that happen?!) He's been asking for a DS. That's not happening. Finally he told me he wanted a bike for his birthday. I had considered that earlier but Bryan said his birthday is a bad time to give him one because he's not going to have much time to ride it before winter. We went to look at some a couple days ago and I wanted to cry. :( $60-$80 for a 20in bike. There's no way we can afford that. Pauline offered to put $10 towards it, Tony might do the same and I thought about asking Mom and Teresa but we'll see.
Tony's been driving me crazy. I'm so sick of his everything's-all-about-me attitude. He's collecting unemployment and works for cash. He says his unemployment is enough to pay his bills ($1500) but nothing else so he works to have extra money. He still hasnt bothered to pay me back for Kristen's shower gifts. It's beginning to piss me off. That was money that I took out of Matthew's communion gifts expecting to get it back right away. I cant deposit it in his bank account without it because it's not like I asked Matthew to borrow it. Any time I ask Tony for it he doesnt have it. Mom's birthday is Thursday and she asked for a table for her basement. She told me to see if my brother and sister would help with it so I did. And of course I'm waiting on an answer from Tony. Mom asked about it yesterday so I told her I was waiting on Tony. Well she asked him and he calls me complaining that Mom shouldnt know about it, etc. I again explained to him that she knows because she told me what she wanted! Then he complains that Matthew told Michael to ask Tony to take him to McDonalds for lunch because Matthew wanted a toy. Like I have any control over what Matthew says to Michael. Give me a break! John just had a heart attack last week and Tony didnt bother to call and tell anyone. I only found out about it because Frannie posted it on facebook. How nice. But apparently Tony & Katherine spent a couple days up at the hospital with him.
I finished putting the directories together for school. They are all copied, stapled and folded all I have to do is figure out who gets them and deliver them to the correct classrooms. I spelled one families last name wrong. :( I checked so many times for mistakes and missed that one each time.
I really need to get moving. Not only do we all need to shower and get ready, I have to pick Michael up from Tony's so I can get him in the shower and dressed. I thought about just bringing his clothes there and having him change but he will smell like smoke and that's not something I want to smell all day. NASTY!
