Life Has Changed

Today was wonderful, or should I say yesterday because it is 12 at night that I am writing this lol. I was at my madea's house aaaallll day which is a change because usually when there is a holiday I got to her house then to Jers fam. But this time I stuck to my side because sooo many people were there and who knows when this will happen again.

On my mom's side of the family all but one of my 4 sibilings were there and their kids. If I am counting right that was 8 young peeps/kiddos. Actually at this point (not including my soon to be niece/nephew from my sis-in-law) the youngest niece and nephew I have are 7. There are no babies left lol. But my first cousin and my only aunt came by too and my cousin has a little one that just turned 1. He is adoorraabblle! Of course all babies are cute to me but still lol.

So we had a full house, and my sis Angie had the idea of fixing up madea's kitchen and got us all in on it. Madea is getting up there in age and can't do the heavy duty work that needs to be done. Its a good thing we got in there too, her cabinets and shelves were long past due for some tender loving care. So along with that we ate and had a good time with each other. I even took Charlie for a little while and they loved him as everyone seems to when I bring him around. If one more person called him a rat though I was gonna pop em in tha throat lol.

All this getting-togetherness reminded me of when I was younger and everyone came down for holidays. My nieces and nephews were sooo much smaller and we all played outside while my brothers and sisters were in the house with the really little ones chit chatting it up like adults do. I miss those days alot. I saw my little people waay more then. They all live in Dallas and with gas prices and school and work and other families (since they are all married/with someone) it hasn't been quite the same visiting wise. So I miss out on them growing up for a couple of years and BAM! they are taller with mature voices and driving! o.O lol

Okay I am gonna stop because I could drone on and on about my relatives. What a fun day-before-memorial day lol! Too bad they all had to go home. :(
