Getting ready to leave for vacation it’s soon! Family vacation. See Dawn and her family then laying in the sun with my parents.

A funny! I showed mom my animatronic by sending a video of him. She didn’t even play 5 seconds of the video and Tank freaked out! ROFL! He ran to the bedroom and refused to see mom for the rest of the day. We dramatized her dog with Pete the Pumpkin! It shouldn’t be funny but it’s funny! Because Tex doesn’t not care at all and gives me the side eye when I turn it on.

I don’t if I wrote in here or not. But my Cousin Chris is so funny. It was years ago. I wished him a happy birthday on Facebook. I saw that he liked everyone but my post. So I deleted it. Ever since then if I post anything on Facebook he is the first one to like it. ROFL!!! Also, who posted on Facebook anymore? I used to all the time but now hardly. I just posted Pete the Pumpkin and that was like my first post of the year.

I have always loved animatronics. I find them fascinating. Halloween is coming up and it’s my favorite holiday. I wanted to go see the animatronics at Spirit Halloween. There is interesting ones this year. One of them is the Pumpkin Punisher. He looks so cool! His voice is eerie and it’s great too. Last weekend we went to Spirit Halloween. I have been telling Jeff for weeks about him and how cool he is.

We went and they had all the cool animatronics there. They had the zombie that loses it’s jaw and eyeball. They had the mother and child with gas masks on during the apocalypse. When they take off their masks, you see rotten faces with a glow of green. Pretty cool! They had Crackles the clown which the other one, I really liked too. But they did have the pumpkin punisher. I couldn’t believe it because not all animatronics were set up in all locations.

Usually, when I go to a Halloween store, I pick up something, a skull is the normal for me. Jeff was surprised I didn’t want anything. He knew I wanted that animatronic but it was a lot of money and our house is small. The Pumpkin Punisher is seven feet tall. I didn’t think he would but….he bought the PUMPKIN PUNISHER!

I named him Pete. He stands on the corner of my desk. He fits perfectly! I scared this shit out of my mom’s dog! ROFL! Tex was scared and now he doesn’t care. He actually sleeps in front of him. We knew Tex wouldn’t care. We didn’t know that Tank would freak out for a whole day.

This week has been trying week. My parents dropped off their dog Tank on Friday Sept 18. He peed in my house twice and pooped in my house twice now. The worst day was Wednesday. Jeff got sick so he took Monday off and of course I caught his cold so, now I am sick which didn’t help the situation. On Wednesday when Jeff left for work before 8. Tank became unbearable. From the time Jeff left till Midnight the next day. He barked and growled for four hours straight. Then he somehow got under the bed, didn’t think he could because we have totes underneath. He got under the bed and clawed under the bed for an hour. It really wore me down. He was so bad! I had to put in him the laundry room for a time out. It didn’t stop there, he continued to bark and growl, being demanding. I gave him another time out again. Yet, it didn’t work. The last straw is when I went to take my night shower and I put Tank in the bedroom with the gate up. It’s so Tex can have some time away from him at night. While in the shower, he knocked the gate down. I had, had enough. I got out of the shower and put him in the kitchen with his bed and some water. I put the gate up there and I know he couldn’t knock it over because it’s wedged between the wall and the fridge. Then he was quiet, then he stopped being a huge brat.

Look at this tiny thing. He was such a brat! Thursday and Friday he was been a good boy. I guess it took one day of hell for him to be a calmer dog and behave. Also, I haven’t seen any accidents either yet. We will see how it goes, my parents don’t come back till the 30th. I am ready for calm again. Tex has been such a good boy with him too. Mostly avoiding him.

I have lost 46 pounds since last year, it’s crazy I never thought I would lose like that. Usually, I lose around myself then my weight. I did do that and now I know I am down. I wish I could say I feel better but I a have been battling my muscles. They have been tight and painful. Trying to figure out how to make that better. However, overall I am happy about my weight loss. It’s a learning process too on how much I SHOULD eat versus what my brain says what I WANT to eat.

My mom is 71 and we will celebrate tomorrow for her birthday. Jeff and I bought her a princess cake! LOL! She will love it!

Went to my Uncle’s celebration of life. It was good and bad at the same time. The place did him dirty. They were terrible. The microphone kept not working and no worker trying to help out to get a new one. My cousin had to go give them the business for the microphone. So we had to hear the same story over 3 times. My cousin sang could hardly hear her because of the microphone. Which she had a lovely voice! Then there wasn’t enough seating and they started opening up the room making people move while people are talking!! It was so disrespectful! However, it was a good service. There was easily over 200 people. I got to see cousins I haven’t in awhile because they live in different states.

My husband turned 50 on Thursday! I can’t believe it that my Jeff is 50! We will celebrate this weekend.

This Friday we are going to see his dad and I am calling her the evil wife. I have decide I dislike her. All that planning for Father’s day and how she couldn’t take Friday’s off. How his dad, Ken can’t do anything without her now. What is that all about?! Now all of sudden she can have a Friday off? Going out to lunch with her today. I just can’t stand her and I don’t want to do anything with them anymore. I have stopped saying Hey Jeff lets call your dad and such because I am done. Jeff has also been disappointed because his dad still works and could stop over and see him and Jeff has told him let me know when you are in the office we will go to lunch. Nothing. They work literally 5 minutes from each other. Ridiculous!

Well that was awkward. Went to my nephew’s graduation party and it wasn’t a fun time. First all of all of sudden it got really hot! Wisconsin weather is odd. Basically, sweating for hours. My nephew was being a teen and didn’t really show up for his own graduation. He was there but stayed with his girlfriend and didn’t interact with anyone.

Awkward was my mom’s side of the family, some came and I wish they didn’t. Aunt DeLise and Uncle Jeffery, Uncle Mark and his girlfriend who he never introduced which is was strange. I haven’t seen them probably like 15 years now. I don’t want too. The reason is the last time they were very judgmental towards me and said things that were not nice to me. That time I hadn’t seen them in years as well.

Jeff and I just stayed in the house and talked with my siblings. We stayed for 3 hours, I think that was long enough. Just sucks that my nephew didn’t really come around to even chat with us a little bit.

It’s a Lambeau Field kinda year. April came over and we went to Lambeau Field she hadn’t been there since the 90’s. It has changed a whole lot since then.

Jeff was there too! This is a nice pic of us.

It was a great day. Then we went to eat Mexican food, had Starbucks then April went home.

April came over and stayed for a day. We watched Wicked 1 and 2 and Zooptopia 2 all great movies! I really liked Wicked one and two. The singing, dancing, the background and the story. It was all great! Zooptopia 2 was hilarious!

April hasn’t been to my house in 8 years. It was time she came over. We had a great time. Got coffee, and went thrifting. Can’t go wrong with thrifting! April spent some cash at the thrift store. It was fun to see her and had a great time.

I survived family fourth of July!

I saw Adam and now I am so sure. I do not love him or care what he says. I literally feel nothing, nothing at all when I see him. It’s an odd feeling to feel nothing towards a person, I grew up with and thought was going to be by best friend forever. Now nothing.

Told my aunt no more Thanksgivings either and she tried to make us feel bad. I didn’t. I didn’t care about it. However, Jeff said he felt bad and I asked why? You and I don’t want to go anyways, so why does it matter. But I do understand why he feels this way. Almost 20 years of going to Thanksgiving since we been together and all my life going as well. There are some feelings towards the holiday because of that.

Jeff brought his classic car to my parents house. The joy my uncle felt was amazing and worth bringing it. He had sooooo much fun! Jeff brought my Dad, Uncle Paul and Drew around the neighborhood. That was the highlight!

At night went to Jeff’s friend Jeff’s house and he blew up fireworks. It was so fun and loud but pretty. It was a great day. I found out many thing I needed to see and feel. Plus fireworks.

Happy 250 Birthday America! Wow can’t believe the nation is 250 that’s cool!

This Saturday going to the parents house and Adam is going to be there. He is moving in with them. Ugh! I noticed that when it comes to him, I have the attitude I don’t care. I try to pretend to care and ask a question about him but I really don’t care. It’s like seeing someone who was erased in my timeline and it was a relief. That’s all I think of when it comes to him. I thought I had love for him still but I feel literally nothing for him. The real test is when I see him, if I feel anything for him.

I am not sure if I will be able to attend fireworks this year. If it’s going to be hot as the weather says. I won’t be able to breathe outside. If it gets humid it feels like I can’t catch my breath. If it’s going to be that, I can’t be outside.

Tex will be 8 on Saturday! I can’t believe Tex is already 8. We got him his favorite cookies and a toy.
