Hi all. Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. Not much to say I guess. Yesterday my sister Jackie and her boyfriend (seems so high school) what else do I call him, went out for the day. I stayed in an cleaned, did laundry and baked cupcakes. I love to bake. I used to do it a lot more when my brother Kory was little and I was living with my Dad. He loved home -made bread so I made it once a week.  And I was always baking pies, cakes, brownies etc for them. If I had someone to bake for I would do it all the time, but if I made all that stuff just for me, I'd be as big as a house.

So, anyway Trevor, that's my husband took Michael, my nephew to a horse show at the fairgrounds. I couldn't believe she actually let him take her baby. But she did. At about 2:30 he brought him back and Michael had been asleep in the car. So, when they got back he woke up and was crying for his mommy, who was still MIA. He cried for at least a half hour. Believe me I've dealt with my share of bawling kids. I raised my brother, babysat my nephew Josh and all of my sister kids.

I got him some "milk hot"  which he screamed at the top of his lungs. He finally calmed down after two glasses of warm milk.  He is certainly a handful. I remember only one other child like that. My sister Dawn's daughter Leticia. "Oh My God."  Talk about willful.

The afternoon wore on and still no Jackie. Finally at 4 I called her and she and Matt had left the Mall of America. "We're gonna go have a beer and then we'll come home."  By six o'clock, I was thinking are they ever coming back. Finally at seven they strolled in. I'm glad they had a good time, but I'm not a paid nanny. If I were, I could have cared less when they came back.

Anyway I did have a fun, frantic, stressful, tear my hair out five hours with my nephew.

Well, thats all for now. Talk to you later.
