It’s the 31st of August – Jim & I are married five years today. Sister-in-laws called and said “did you do anything special today?” “Why, yes…I cooked 6 racks of ribs, a huge tray of home made mac and cheese, shucked 10 ears of corn, made two dozen almond cupcakes with caramel frosting and a pan of chocolate chip cookie dough brownies for the annual family Madri Gras day at the beach tomorrow.” They laughed…they didn’t ask me to do it – but they are indecisive about things – and they are going through enough–that I did it. Not complaining – but funny that they ask…I also took Andrew to the park and to his friend Melissa’s house. He loves going to his friend’s houses.
I made 50 Christening cookies – for our adopted Grandpa Bud & Aunt Florence – his 3 month grandson’s Christening is Sunday – they turned out beautiful and everyone was surprised.
Regarding our anniversary, I told Jim no card, no flowers, no nothing…but something would have been nice – so I ordered myself a pan. Hi, I’m Jenny, and I’m addicted to all things kitchen and home related.
Jim is depressed. He works so hard all the time, gets calls all the time, worries all the time…for what – for the pride of doing a fantastic job and paying a 3K mortgage for a small house in Long Island. He’s exhausted. I’m exhausted because he works all the time, gets calls all the time, worries all the time and I do my normal mother, wife and now home improvement duties. I want to get a job at night to help, I want to get a job so he can maybe find something that isn’t going to kill him before 50 – but he won’t let me…so we trudge on.
Again I’m sick – very sore throat, cough, aches and miserable. For a while today, I was afraid I was going to die…then I was afraid I wasn’t.
Life goes on and I’m going to bed – it’s 8:30 on a Friday night. P-A-R-T-Y.
On a positive note, Britney’s newly released single is a huge hit. Happy happy for K-Fed’s divorce attorney.
Best line I read this week – Rosie O’Donnell’s blog about Sen. Craig “Saggy Senator Seeks Sucking”. NOT GAY, NOT GAY, NOT GAY — we’re going to start printing that on our currency.
