egads whatta day

i had to try ABOUT 5 TIMES TO GET INTO MY BLOG I CANT IMAGINE WHY.
BUT HERE I AM AT LAST.
I HAD SO MANY STORIES BUT IN MY STRESS TO GET INTO MY BLOG THEY SLID AWAY...THAT IS THE WAY OF THE OLD WOMAN'S MIND AND THE OLD MANS AS WELL I HAVE A HUBBY AGED 80 NOW
AND HE ASKS IF I REMEMBER THAT THINGY .. HA HA AS IF.

WHEN MY KIDS WERE LITTLE, WE HAD AN ELECTRIC TYPEWRITER AND THEY WOULD WRITE STUFF ONCE IN AWHILE...ONCE THEY WROTE SON OF A B9TCH THEY HIT THE 9 INSTEAD OF THE I HAHAH ONE OF MY FAVORITE NEWS ARTICLES THEY WROTE AS KIDS.

BUT EVER AFTER IN THEIR DIARIES THEY WROTE IT THAT WAY , SON OF A B9TCH!!!@#$%^&*&^*!

I LOVED THEIR DIARIES WHICH THEY TURNED OVER After Christmas SINCE WE LOVED TO LAUGH AT THEM. THEY KEPT THEM A TOTAL SECRET ALL YEAR BUT WHEN THEY GOT NEW ONES AT CHRISTMAS THEY FINISHED THEM UNTIL NEW YEAR'S THEN HANDED THEM OVER!!

ON E OF THE JOYS OF MY LIFE AND DAD'S TOO IT SEEMED.
I LOOK BACK WITH REGRET THAT WE DIDN'T DO MORE FOR OUR KIDS THAN WE DID, BUT THEY CLAIM IT DIDN'T MATTER THEY THOUGHT CHILDHOOD WAS LOT OF FUN.

WELL I DID THE BEST I COULD WITH WHAT PARENTAL TRAINING I HAD WHICH WAS VERY LITTLE . I PATTERNED MY LIFE AFTER A JEWISH-CATHOLIC FAMILY I HUNG OUT WITH WHEN I WAS A CHILD.
I RARELY WAS KEPT FROM EXPLORING MY ENVIRONMENT WHILE GROWING UP IN MY SUPER FOSTER HOME WITH UNCLE TONY AND TIA CARMELITA

UNCLE TONY PLAYED JACKS WITH ME AND WE PLAYED HOOKY FROM MASS AND WENT TO THE CORNER DRUGSTORE AND DRANK MALTS INSTEAD AND MY DIME FOR THE COLLECTION BOX WENT FOR A COMIC BOOK , USUALLY LITTLE LULU OR SUPERMAN OR ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN, OR ARCHIE.
I HAD A NICE COLLECTION OF COMIX AND I PAID FOR EVERYONE OF THEM I GOT $1.00 ALLOWANCE A MONTH AND I MADE IT LAST!!

UNCLE TONY AND I HAD A VERY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP, HE LOVED TO SEE ME PLAY AND JOINED IN WHENEVER HE FIT IN. HE WATCHED WHEN WE MADE PLAYS ON THE FRONT PORCH I HAD 3 OR 4 LITTLE FRIENDS WHO ACTED OUT SOME OF THE PARTS BUT I ALWAYS KEPT THE PLUMIEST PART FOR MYSELF AND THE KIDS I PLAYED WITH DIDN'T MIND AT ALL.
THEY'D COME OVER AND WOULD SAY LET'S MAKE A play!!
WE DID A LOT. I WANTED TO BE A MOVIE STAR BUT NEVER MADE IT TO LA WHEN I DID GO THERE I SAW IT AS UGLY AND DIRTY AND WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE CLEAN MOUNTAINS ALSO I HAD INFECTIONS IN MY SINUSES FROM THE SMOG SO DIFFERENT FROM THE PURE MOUNTAIN AIR IN SANTA FE THAT I WAS USED TO.

ALL IN ALL AFTER THE AGE OF 8 MY LIFE WENT FROM BAD TO BEST AND MY LIFE UP UNTIL AGE 4 WITH GRAMPA WAS DELIGHTFUL HE DIED IN JAN 1940 JUST BEFORE MY 4TH.
I ALWAYS FELT LOVED BY HIM. HE WAS KIND AND FUNNY AND WOULD MAKE SUGGESTIVE REMARKS TO GIRLS AND LADIES AS THEY WALKED BY OUR HOUSE WHERE WE SAT MANY TIMES TO WATCH THE WORLD GO BY.
THEY LAUGHED AT HIM AND DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND. THOSE WERE INTERESTING TIMES.

FROM AGE 5 UNTIL 8 I WAS TORMENTED BY A LOUD CRASS BRASH STEP DAD NAMED CLYDE HE WAS NASTY AND SEXUAL AND RUDE AND SELFISH A PSYCHOPATHOLIGICAL KIND OF MAN. MY MOTHER IN HER DESPERATION TO GET A MAN TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILY MARRIED THIS BEAST.
I WAS RELIEVED WHEN I GOT SENT TO ANOTHER HOME TO LIVE IN THE FIRST HOME WAS HORRIBLE AND I ASKED THE SOCIAL WORKER FOR A CHANGE AS DID THEY SINCE I WROTE A LETTER TO MY MOTHER EXPRESSING MY UNHAPPINESS WHICH THEY FOUND IN MY DRAWER AND DEMANDED MY REMOVAL I WAS SOOO Happy!! MY NEW HOME WAS A DREAM I HAD MY OWN ROOM AND NICE KIND FOSTER PARENTS.

AT ANY RATE THAT WAS MY UPBRINGING TO PREPARE ME FOR MOTHERHOOD. I MARRIED A MIDWESTERNER. HE WAS THE SILENT TYPE EXCEPT WHEN STIRRED TO ANGER. I WAS BROUGHT UP TO ALWAYS SAY WHATEVER I THOUGHT HE WAS BROUGHT UP TO NEVER MENTION ANYTHING . WHAT WILL THE NEIGHBORS THINK? IN SANTA FE PEOPLE ALWAYS SAID WHAT THEY THOUGHT EVEN IF IT WAS NOT A GOOD THING NO SECRETS. MY HUSBAND WAS BROUGHT UP TO KEEP EVERYTHING A SECRET AND WHEN I BLURTED MY THOUGHTS HE GOT ANGRY IT TOOK A LONG TIME AND A COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WE HAD A CULTURAL DIFFERENCE HAHAH.

TODAY IS OUR 55TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY THOUGH SO WE ARE OK I GUESS. WOULD YOU NOT SAY SO?
