..........It has been a while since I posted. Not much new happening but still staying busy. A couple of weeks ago on a Thursday, Aundrea had a substitute teacher. She was telling me about him and finally mentioned his name was Mr Johnson. I asked her if she remembered the the man I worked with at PetsMart and she said that was him. Then she said... Grandma he dresses like a monkey's uncle. Well I have no ideawhat a monkey's uncle dresses like but I said I thought Bill dressed like everyone else. She said no... "when I saw him I said in my head, why he dresses like a monkey's uncle." She said he had on a tie that had stop signs, and skateboards and dogs all over it. I am dying to call Bill but she made me promise not to tell him. I will when I see him.!! She did say he got a premanent job at West Hills starting the next day so I was happy to hear that.
........I filed the income tax online like I have the last couple of years and they sent it back like they have each time. I made the same stupid mistake each time. I keep insisting that Roy's mom ought to know when he was born and gave his real birth day instead of the "official" one on his birthcertificate. Maybe one day I will get it.
........Today was Michael Peterson's 60th birthday and the rules were we were to spend 60 cents on a gift. (wonder where they thought that up?) Actually I told joyce about Dianne's 50th where we each spent 50 cents. It takes some coniving and scrambling cause as you know you can't get much for 60 cents. I wrote Old Man Peterson a check. His brother in law, Jim, sent him a cookie that cost a $1 and cut off 40% of it. HE got a lot of very creative gifts. Terry and Barb got a package of pens for $1 and took 4 of them out.
.......The vet increased Cleo's meds and she is doing much better.... KNOCK ON WOOD!! She will have to go back next week I think for another blood test. Each on costs $55 or so but what are you going to do?
.........And finally..... after 11 years we are going to find out who the father of Nick's brother Aaron is. The state needs a DNA test. Not me. I will be EXTREMELY surprised if he is NOT Matt's. He looks like Matt. He has MY teeth and the red hair that runs in our family. Sam and Mark are getting a divorce and she is being a real witch about every thing. She is going to find her self in jail for welfare fraud and Tod for tax fraud cause Mark has claimed Aaron, rightfully as he is legally his, so had Tod for the last 5 years. Oh what a tangled web we weave when we try to decieve. And finally Sam will not be able to play guilt trip to whoever she thinks she can get the most out of b ecause we will know who he belongs to. I really feel bad for the kids cause they lose no matter what. Matt may go for custody and I will demand his name be changed... or at least hyphonated..
