SORRY!!
OK so Matt: School called Matt has a pain in his belly. I asked to speak with him. asked him if he had gone to the bathroom.. Nope. Ahhh problem solved, called my step-dad he went and picked up Matt who b-lined it to the bathroom as soon as he walked into my parent's house. Matt is fine.
SO. after work picked up the other two knuckleheads and my nephew from school came home paid bills kid did their homework Tom and Zack were off to baseball practice about an hour later Meg Matt and i were off for Meghan's game. Lets talk about about these uniforms... First off. the name of the team is "Sugarbabies" i have the sweatshirt and tee shirt, with sugarbabies written across the chest. Enough said??? then the socks... WHO PICKS THIS OUT???

OK it's a really bad picture. Can you find the hidden mickey? and my Golden retriever sleeping?!?! a mom off the team made really cute hair ties for the girls, another Mom is decorating the visors. I will send pictures when that is done!
afterwards i have to go backwards... EASTER! my family is over. my sister tells me how something on my body is bigger. NO my ENTIRE BODY got bigger! so we promise each other we will start working that Monday after Easter, that Monday came and i was secretly PRAYING she wasn't going to call... She never did... and i NEVER brought it back up... FLASH FORWARD.. Communion Sister is back. same promise is made. Me thinking nope she wont call... crap. she text all day back and forth. I wish i could add it to this report. as it is rather comical... Last night after Meg's game here comes my sister and my niece (who indecently is a rail ) to do the Insanity workout. I hate her. my advice: don't workout before bed.

Back to Communion!!!
I left off at Friday running to target for the essentials! Afterwards i wanted to run to a religious store. Thankfully there was one on the way home.
Talk about rude and snobbish people in that store!!!! I was shocked!
Anyway i should have walked out with the way i was treated but i really wanted something to give to the kids something special. I ended up getting cross pins for the boys, and a bracelet for Meg. CUTE!
My girlfriend came by to "help" out. i had all kids try on their clothes.. Meg's dress.. SHE LOST WEIGHT! thankfully not enough people can really tell but the top of the dress was a little loose!!! then the little MEN their pants needed to be hemmed. THANKFULLY Vicki was able to hem and do the necessary stuff...
i started cooking I saw on Pintrest this really cool pasta! It may have been off of Oopsi or Suzi's regardless i totally snagged it. they put foog coloring in the water for the pasta to change the color!!!:

Sorry for the logo it's the only set of pictures i have on this computer.
It came out awesome!!! yummy too.
then it was time to run over to the church for practice..
Once we got there we see the kids are on one side of the main isle and the parent's or whoever will be walking with the kids on the other. Thankfully my last name begins with a B!!! VIP seating. we were the 3rd row. they gave us almost the entire row 3 kids= 6 sponsors! so yes my PEW! <-- for D~ and Suzi.. PEW PEW PEW!
I am frantically texting my sister to ask if she will help with sponsoring the kids. i didn't know they were holding that much space for us!!! End result was Tom and I Rhonda (sister) and nephew Sean.
back home Vicki was still at the house and put the table cloths and cleaned up a bit.
on to make these:

tried to make this small but it would throw an error??
Finally got to bed about 11ish.
SATURDAY!!! the BIG DAY!!!
woke up at 6am had my coffee started to get myself together becuase Meg had a hair app at 8:30. We were out of the house by 8am.
Before:

During:

Veil!

which of course had SPRINKLES! pixi dust to us..
Done!

So now that i have to RACE home we have to be at the church/school at 10:30 still have to get dressed try to do something with my hair, boys up and ready! include Tom in the picture too!!! Driving making sure Peanut doesn't squish her hair we get to the worst intersection for trains. I am praying NO TRAIN NO TRAIN.. you guessed it. a damn train not just one people 2!!!!!!! one going east one going west. S.O.A.B!!! these trains can take up to and hour or more.. can't go one way they are working on a new intersection and new bridges now i have to drive 20 minutes AROUND the train. off we go.. and ya know what??? BAM stuck by the same trains.
finally made our way home about 9:30. OFF i go making sure everyone looks their best. Meg in her dress boys in their outfits doing good!!! then...
knock knock... WHAT?!?!?! are you kidding me?!?! anyone who knows us knows just to walk in the dogs are morons just easier to walk in. it's the crazy aunt everyone has in their family. GAH!!!! i still have to have that little moment with my kids to give them their little gifts i bought from the mean people. make sure the boys have black socks on with their black shoes... Nope they are wearing white. i am running around i look like crap and she is in the way every step i take. deep breath.
I take one of the kids brig them in the kitchen to give them their special gift. I am reading the poem it came with and show them how special their pin is on their first holy Communion... Does she not walk in and hover... COME ON!!!! i can't be mean.. boy oh boy i wanted to BLOW!!!
well that special moment with my kids was ruined.
anyway. some things didn't get done like ummm. me as long as the kids look awesome...
Next post for more pictures!!!

3-dog in heat on BIG weekend- ha ha ha dog trainer (see the irony ? )

I was sick to my stomach about this!!!

4-Matt sick-I hope he got better but think about it 5 people in family odds are someone is down & out

Not as much as you would think! resilient little things!!!

5-Tom shopping ?-Good man that's what team work should be

Yeah he is stepping up...

6-Ahhh the dreaded dog hair-there is not a vacuum known to man or woman that will get it all I don't care what the infomercials say trust me I feel ya'there I want to live with all ceramic floors, maybe slate, maybe a cave

It does NOT matter what i do. It is the Great Dane's hair. the short hair dogs are WORSE then any other dog!!!!

Since i had so many people tell me i needed to BE IN THE PICTURE!!! blah.
remember i had NO time to get ready

ok on to the church!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Again we are OFF! take the kids to the school for whatever reason the teacher wanted the kids to walk over to the church?!?!
whatever Tom and i wen tot eh church found our seat remember 3rd row!!! text my sister tell her where we were sitting.
the church was PACKED!!! there were 75 kids making their communion!!!
they really need to learn how to break this up into groups!!! the kids have 29 kids in their class then the other are CCD children. i wish they would break it up.

alter.
Zack was picked to take up the "gifts"
the only shot i have during the ceremony. learning moment? Do not put Tom my sister nephew and myself together in Church. we laughed MOST of the time...
It went very well. i cried. it was over within an hour and a half!

Kids did NOT like the wine and the "cookie tastes like cardboard. so it went well!!!
after wards the photographer wanted a group picture.. really?!?!?

this took FOREVER. the photographer was annoying what took him almost 30 minutes i got this:

for pete's sake and he was on a step ladder etc... it's not that difficult.

our favorite Brother Brian. He is an amazing sweetest man:

i don't know why this was there but thought it was pretty:

the good places people with their cell phone cameras had the good spots..
i took the side. ya know where the sun was shining a little too brightly! ha ha
poor kids:
Matt

peanut

what is on Zack's head?!?!


ok fine lets go home:
TO TAKE MORE PICTURE!!
give this girl some sunglasses!

Matt

zack

who allowed them to grow up?

they are such great sports and will try anything for me!

Ok on to getting the house together!
Mickey HAS to have an appearance somewhere every party.

Ok the cake.
I asked my Mom (since she wanted to do something for the party) to take care of the cake. i was having about 35-40 people over. I ordered food for 35. told my mom to get a cake for about 25 as i did not want left over cake.
What did she do? A cake for 50 people. yeah... 50 people. everyone is crazy. except me of course.
So she called to say it's butter cream so i can leave it out and not refrigerate it NO KIDDING i don't have anything i could even pretend to put a cake for 50 people into!!!
It is really pretty:
+
I don't even like butter cream...



Next post with people!
Looking at these pictures i really do NOT like them.

 

[Chicago Mo]

well. not you know why i take pictures NOT OF PEOPLE! i suck at it.
so want to meet the family?
I know everyone love to look at picture of people they don't know!!!
our friends for as long as i can remember. Tom and Bryan have been BFF's forever. best men at each other's wedding Bryan is Zack's godfather etc. can't get rid of them. they are Family.



My parents.

she ONLY wears dog shirts. ever...

My OLDER sister and her hubby Meg's god mother: Hubby is Matt's godfather

remember this evil sister:


My Nephew:

My cousins we are as close as sisters:

There is NEVER a party at our houses where alcohol is not a factor. We are not fall over drunks i blame it on being south side Irish. we also need to get threw it with our families! we are loud laughing group! we love each other and close and thieves
So let's let the fun begin:



i just noticed the sister not in these...that sly devil

wacko's

Meg just rolls her eyes

Just wait until these three are also teenagers!!
there are a lot of our family who were unable to make it. who are just as loud and fun They were dearly missed!!
then i will leave you with the final picture:

my sister took this. i don't remember much of what she was saying except she had a hard time trying to take this picture! knucklehead.
We were missing a lot of our crew they were dearly missed!!! Only so much we can make fun out of each other!! Like my younger sister she is always good for a bashing! there were kids ALL over the place and i would not have it any other insane crazy way! We had a great time. Party lasted until 11:30... by 11:45 i was dead in bed!
Didn't even wake up on Sunday until 11!!! I NEVER do that!!!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Yes you read that correctly! 2014 trip news! HA HA HA!
The kids started on the team Marlins. Tom and the head coach Chris became friends, sitting on the side lines i became friends with his wife Jen. There was some real BS going on in the league i cannot even BEGIN to tell you the crap that went on. Well Chris went up for president and talked Tom into Vice. They both won. We have been friends ever since!
Jen had asked me a couple of weeks ago about Disney. I told her what she wanted.
THEN..
BA BA BA BOOOM
Yesterday she text me asking when we were thinking about going. I said i wanted to be IN Disney Sept 8. She was going to talk with Chris we may go together!
I am excited about this as they have NEVER been! Their children are amazing, very well behaved and all around awesome! They have a 5 year old daughter who i just adore. Meg askes if we can take her because she wants a sister!
Our kids get along famously! They have maybe a 12-13 year old boy? i don't really know his age. a 10 year old boy and 5 year old girl. Not positive on their age.
So this trip is going to be exciting! IF it all works out!

Your first posted follower (PIO in Oz) is MY dear friend that I have referred to in MY PTR she refers to a DisMeet in Oct 2010 that is when we first met Can you believe that ?? I mean how many people are on the Dis and our circle keeps touching until its a bigger (but more intimate) circle Its this kind of thing in life that I get the biggest kick out of

I'll be seeing her and her dear family & about 10 other Dissers for a BIG Oct Dismeet Life is Good !! okay I hijacked enough, carry on Skellington, carry on

 

[KatMark]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the communion pictures (your daughter looks just like you ).

And what great news about your friends maybe joining you for Disney. It's always fun to travel with "newbies" and show them the ropes.

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

I like you pictures of your kids First Communion, and their description of the Host and the wine was pricles. I don't think waterer down cheap wine can taste good anywhere.

 

[DMGeurts]

I loved all of the pictures Mo! Loved seeing the kids - and all of their poses - they look so adorable, and Meg's dress (and especially veil) are amazing. I have to LOL at a few of them, because they look like they are trying to pray so hard. And it was nice "meeting" your family too. The decorations and cake/food look amazing. And I am glad that you finally got a picture with you in it - at least now you can prove you were there.

And YAY for the 2014 trip planning... that would be awesome!

D~

LOVE LOVE LOVE the communion pictures (your daughter looks just like you ).

And what great news about your friends maybe joining you for Disney. It's always fun to travel with "newbies" and show them the ropes.

Thank you!!! She gets that a lot. some people call her Mini-Mo. I think she is much cuter!
I know!!! I am so excited to be able to be apart of their trip and i feel honored they want to go with us. I really cannot stress enough how fantastic their kids are too. so this will be fun!!! She knows that we are keeping it from the kids until the day we leave so we are back to being secret squirrel talking around practice and games!!!

I like you pictures of your kids First Communion, and their description of the Host and the wine was pricles. I don't think waterer down cheap wine can taste good anywhere.

Thank you so much for the compliments!!! They are funny kids. Yeah the wine isn't up to par! the only place in the world where you can give an 8 year old alcohol and it's legal!!!

I loved all of the pictures Mo! Loved seeing the kids - and all of their poses - they look so adorable, and Meg's dress (and especially veil) are amazing.

I did remove a few of the flowers!! they were HUGE on her little head. we even tried to put the fluffy stuff in the back of her head but that would make the cross in front upside down... didn't think it was appropriate.

I have to LOL at a few of them, because they look like they are trying to pray so hard. And it was nice "meeting" your family too.

They took this VERY serious. which in my head the Joker (Heath Ledger) WHY SO SERIOUS??? they are really cute and great kids!!!

Thanks! my family is nutty and i didn't post all of the family.. Just the main characters of the group. Missing several.. I have a large family. loud obnoxious and we have a great time!

The decorations and cake/food look amazing. And I am glad that you finally got a picture with you in it - at least now you can prove you were there.

My mom did a great job on the cake... I can see why it needed to be that HUGE all that writing on it! i still have it in the fridge.. Want some?!?!
i ONLY took pictures because of all of you!!! See??? I hate them!

And YAY for the 2014 trip planning... that would be awesome!
D~

Yes!!!! really excited to see the kids there... More their daughter!!! going to be a lot of fun and Meghan will be in her glory to have a little girl to play with!!! she is ALWAYS stuck with boys. So someone to enjoy princesses besides me she is going to be over the moon!!!

 

[Chicago Mo]

remember this evil women???

This is my sister. well, my step sister. i have two of them. i am actually an only child. Yes i am Cinderella! ha ha ha ha ha!!! we have been a family since i was about 15. We do not consider each other step family. we are all about the OHANA! NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND!!! i am corny today aren't i?!?!
Ok ADHD needs to stop get back on track here... See how "FAT" she is.... the poor thing GAINED 30 pounds since December... (I wish that was all i gained.) well if you remember the story about Easter? and how i have been ditching her since then??? WELL she isn't allowing me to ditch her anymore., we started working out Monday. Monday wasn't bad.. we did a "fit test" i failed of course at least it was something... yesterday we did... DO NOT LAUGH... Hip Hop Abs.... Ok ok that is pretty funny. me and Rhonda hip hop... the image itself should have you rolling on the floor right now. I did it.. I did the whole 30 minute workout there was more laughing then hippy and hopping. Today my legs are KILLING ME!!! I have to keep thinking of Magic Mike! For some people this would be my man TATER:

When i do meet him... I'll be ready.
well the evil beast has already lost 3 pounds... me? I found them for her! so i am on the diet of the century!!! working out and eating right.. not an easy task!!! Want to be able to go to Disney next year and NOT be uncomfortable or upset about taking pictures!!! so i will be keeping track of my weight/ savings.

I am also looking into e-cigarettes!!! I need to quit. the money i will save there may cover the trip all in its own!!!

I had to dip into our savings for the communion party!!!
at this time i am more of a money monger then ever. absolutely NO SPENDING unless totally necessary. The money i make for dog training is going right INTO the savings every week, tom's second job money is going straight to the bank. I WISH my photography was selling i hit a DEAD spot.
May sell Tom's body to science..... fiction...

Still looking into resorts. wondering if the rumor of Free Dining is at it's last year. if so i will CRY. i save more with free dining then the room code. will also cut down on the cost. i really don't want to rent a car for the U.S. and to get back to the airport.

ok i am going to flit around the internet now!

 

[KatMark]

I hope they continue free dining...I know it is a huge advantage to some people, especially families.

Good for you on the workout!

 

[Alysa]

Aww - congratulations to Meghan. she looks beautiful, just like you!
Looks like you had a great day! Sisters are the best, aren't they?

Congrats on the exercise. I've been trying too. 25 pounds to lose. I've only been appearing in photos where I can hide behind the children!
Great job on the e-cigarettes. I'm here cheering you on!!

I had not heard about the free dining being over!

 

[Chicago Mo]

I hope they continue free dining...I know it is a huge advantage to some people, especially families.
