Yesterday, Gabe was up at 5:30 am, telling me he had things to do. I didn't get smokes or coffee until I dropped them off at school because he was so 'busy'. Today he slept in and was asking, 'Why I gots to get up for'? Oh, you know what? I just vacuumed and I had no idea all that plastic shit was under my tv until I saw this photo. That pink thing looks like an Easter egg from last year. I should be ashamed, but, I can't work up the energy. I'll try and remember to bring in a rake later. Someday. Yawn. My theory on house cleaning these days is, if it doesn't stink and isn't crawling, why fuck with it? I'm tired.
Awww. After pancakes and chocolate milk, he's much happier. He found out I keep some fancy jelly beans in my desk drawer and he calls them 'belly-aches'. Come on, that's funny. 'Grandma Pat, can I have some belly-aches'? The kid makes me laugh.
There's Lissa in her 'too cool for school' school clothes. A pair of rhinestone shades and a Blondie t-shirt. When I told her how old Debbie Harry is, she said I made that up to jerk her around. They both make me laugh.
There she is...ready to take on her world. She told me yesterday ALL the boys choose her for their butterball team because she's the tallest one in her class. She's the third grade butterball champion.

Great pics :)
Aww, thanks. I like 'em. I call them my 'squirt bombs'.
Did Tia leave this blog?
Praise the Lord.
Okay, how many times are you going to ask me that? You should ask HER that. Besides, her participation on this blog has no bearing on the fact that she is and will remain a loved and trusted friend. The end.
ps..praising the lord here is counter productive. Just so ya know.
He is such a cutie pie! I bet he would trade picking up under the cabinet for some belly ache beans! Lissa is absolutely too cool to fool! Love the t-shirt, does she like the music? I got Marina a Ramones t-shirt for her when they had 80's dress up day at school I refused to let her wear what I know everyone else would - big hair, side ponytail neon spandex wearing chickies. Rock n'roll was the only way to go! She likes their music too.
Were you successful in finding a Taylor Lautner pillow for Lissa?
Lissa and Gabe are getting so big. Great pics DD. I have my 2 grandkids every weekend. They are 3 and 1. I know how much energy it takes.
Did you get my email DD?
CUTE kiddos!!! Gabe is precious. I have never seen him before. I love that he calls you grandma too. And I have to say, I totally have a black derby hat on a wall mounted hat stand! Its purely for fab decor purposes. I love your top hat on the hat stand too. I change my derby hat band for the holidays and seasons. I love old hats and have a very old straw hat too. But kinda hard to display a flat hat anywhere. LOL. Have a good weekend. And Lissa is way too cool. Isn't Debby Harry older than her own grandma? Wow. That should make her think you are the coolest! Take care all.
@ Anon 2:54. Tia has her own blog, I believe. It's on old school "Live Journal". You can catch up with her on that, maybe. She used to, not sure if she has been doing that anymore tho. But...I totally get your drift. I hear ya. But yes, she is Pats bud. Thats cool. And thats all I am saying. :)
Connie, I'd never make them reach under there. It's probably covered in cobwebs and recluses. Seriously. Nope, never found a Taylor pillow, but, I found a Miley one with sparkles for Easter, shhh. She LOVES music. I make her listen to one of mine if I listen to one of her, so she gets an education. I don't want her thinking Katy Perry is like, the real thing, you know?
Pan, thanks, I have to look. I am having a serious spam problem right now.
6:48:00, Thanks, I love hats, old ones. That particular one is our snowman hat. But, it sits there all year. I have some doozies. Yep, Debbie is older than me. We're both older than dirt when you're nine.
6:52:00 PM, thank you. She's linked here. She always will be.
Besides under the tv (gross) I have GOT to put my groceries away. I shopped yesterday and they're still sitting all over. Sorry. Is anyone else such a slob? I swear, I am so tired, I just say, fuck it anymore. I need a 'round tuit'.
They're so cute DD! I love Lissa's style. She's so confident - she gets that from her grandmother!
And I'm just like you. Once I get home from the grocery, I'm too tired to put them away. And I have a stack of dishes that need cleaning that I don't want to do.
Thanks, Erin. Good to hear someone else is a procrastinator.
The kids are growing up real fast! Lisa is so becoming a grown up! About cleaning I always ask myself if the fact that the place needs dusting, or whatever, is severely going to impact on me in 5 years time. The answer is always no. Meanwhile a bit pissed off with myself that I haven't finished all my handyman jobs in the week I gave myself to do them in. It's taken me so dam to get round to them in the first pace :-( All I can say is that if these jobs aren't completed in 5 years time it will seriously impact on my life!
The older I get the more I just "straighten up" and not clean. Today I "cleaned" my bathroom. New shower curtains, washed walls, ceiling, and floor on my hand and knees. It's a little crackr box and it's taken me all damn day. It better last for a while.
There's just me and my husband and my older son who is never home, yet my house really needs a cleaning. I blame the dogs. :)

I can't get over how much Lis looks like Casey. I would love to see a pic of Casey at that age to compare. And Mr. Gab is just too cute. I'm glad he has you.
Awww, great pics. I miss you all so much! Give them a hug from me.
Miss you top Casey. You have presents here.
Thanks, to all.
Lia, I think you're overdoing it, really I do.
Pan, I hear you. I'm exhausted all the time now. I miss working hard.
Jane, I'll try and find a pic of Casey. But, Lis looks EXACTLY like Eric. It is strange how much she looks like him, but, is girly too. When she puts on a ball cap, it sort of freaks me out.
I watch "Hoarders"; if my house looks better than that, I don't worry about it. And the kids are so cute!
I have some pic I'll send. If mom can get them. Her Email hates me!
Pat I take after my handyman father who could still be found climbing the large gumtree in their back yard with a pruning saw! I was very lucky to have the best father and I always strived to be like him.
just keep in mind: what is online stays online.
Will those kids be cool with these pics being stared at by total strangers in 10, 20 years?
Corina, you crack me up!
Casey, thanks. 9 out of 10 times it says 'unknown format'.
Lia, you are probably one of the few on here who had a good dad. That's cool.
Bastard, I dunno. What will people think of you and your fake gender on here?
I reckon I'm the only parental figure who puts pics online to save them. I should get my own tv show from it. It's so unique.
Pancakes and chocolate milk for brekkie would make ANYONE happier. By these photos, Gabe is such an expressive kid. Adorable - is there an actor in the works?
Lis's absolute cool factor just skyrocketed again - if and when she is done with that Debbie Harry / Blondie shirt, I'll take it off her hands.
Love these pics of your fab grandkids.
so what is my 'fake' gender?
