What’s going on?

Hi everyone in my frozen lipstick land!

No…I am not dead. I have attempted to write over the summer…but when I could not log on….and tried a bunch of times…I ran out of time due to the fact that I always had tons of kids here…can’t think for a moment. So…to save all the frusturation..I just gave up.

So..here I am.

Holding my face in my hands. The 13 year old won’t stop. Aruge is all they do? Is everything their way or no way? Why is everything a freaking argument? Why do they think the world revolves around them? Every WORD is a fight. It won’t end. It’s still going on. It’s a no win battle. Whatever!

So summer. Still think it’s too long. Even the kids were bored by the time school rolled around. Summer is just too long. It’s mentally exhausting. We did swimming everyday. Didn’t go anywhere. We did go to Binghamton a couple of times.

Speaking of Binghamton…I am trying to spend time with my Aunt. The cancer has spread so much that it’s saturated her lungs, and spread to her lymph nodes, and also to her bones…which she was truly hoping not to get, as it’s an excruciating way to die. We don’t know how much time she has left. Can’t even think about it. That will be the day my life will change forever. Anyway. My neice Samantha (my sister April’s daughter), who Aunt Joyce raised is getting married, and is speeding up the wedding to next month on the 10th. Aunt Joyce has decided to take chemo just to maybe slow down this fucking cancer…so to make it to the wedding. It will be bittersweet. My highly disfunctional family will be there. What do you say to your father whom you have not spoken to in over a year? I’m going to get an ulcer. Just watch.

So…pardon me if I seem a bit angry at times. Lots to be pissed about.

Also…un update on my brother in law Ed. Most of you know, Tom’s younger brother Ed, who is about 32 by the way, was just diagnosed with skin cancer. Because of the proximity of the mole..(which is how it was discovered) near his lymph nodes, he had two surgeries to remove his lymph nodes. The first surgery they removed 3. One out of 3 came back positive. Then his second surgery they removed all. That time..none came back positive. He just was released from the hospital recovering from a staph infection. This guy needs a break. His next step is to come back to Rosewell and talk to an oncologist about possible chemo. Ed has a wonderful wife, Jen and two sons..Tim..15, and Ethan 2.

One of the positive things I have going for me is my hobby…being a paranormal investigator. I am having a blast. Our group Is It Real Investigators are going to many new places. We just recently did a very well known Theatre in downtown Buffalo. We also did Rolling Hills this past Friday..and will be going back to Iron Island Museum. By the way..I know you all heard me talk about the season premier. It was a blast..and I am so happy for Linda (the owner, and pres of the museum). You have to check out that episode of Ghost Hunters. Go to the website on the sci-fi channel…and I am sure they have a link up. You also have to check out these pages.
