Madelines Memory

A Little Bit About.....

My photo
Madeline was my grandmother on my mother's side. She was an amazing little Irish woman. How blessed we were to have her. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. I am the wife of my bestfriend, the mother of four amazing kids ages 25, 22, 17 and 4. I am a grandma to 2 beautiful little boys and the mom-in-law to a terrific man. I come from a big wonderful family. My parents are my idols. My dad was always the silent one and my mom was the "tough" one. I have so much admiration for them and love being their daughter. I have 4 sisters and one brother, but I only have 3 surviving sisters now. My sister Michele passed away suddenly in 1989. I married into an amazing Italian family. I believe in God and Angels, and Ghosts. Not bad ones, but ones that just can't decide if they should stay or go. I believe that if you want something bad enough, you just need to believe and it will be yours. I believe that everyone means something to someone and this life without you would be miserable.

Happy Birthday to Me and Pink Saturday!!


It has been a busy, busy week for me this week. I have been sick with a cold and not feeling up to par & then with baby Mae's arrival, I didn't get my e-mail in on time to participate in Pink Saturday's Birthday celebration. UUgghhh ohhh well.
It is my big birthday weekend and what a special one it will be. I already have recieved an extra wonderful gift with my new little great niece's birth and.... my husband will actually be home ALL weekend. For those of you that don't know, he worked for a company that he had to work Saturdays and when he was on call....he would work the whole weekend!! But, now he has a new job and we actually get time together...woooohoooo!! My big 44 is on Monday (44?? what the heck? How did I get to be 44?) Anyways, I am super excited. I wonder what he has in store for me?? Well, I guess I should say I wonder what I have in store for me, since I do all of the planning around here. Maybe this year he will surprise me.
Last weekend was our anniversary and we were supposed to get away for a night without any kids...ha, he couldn't leave our little one, so we ended up seeing Shrek and hitting the Disney store in the mall. However, the day of our anniversary we did drive down to San Diego and wandered around the Italian Festival...that was nice.
I think he felt guilty, because on Tuesday he brought me home a card and flowers. (gotta love that man).
Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend.
Happy Birthday to meeeee!
