There is so much going on here that I can’t keep up and I know that blogs are supposed to be short, but bear with me because there is too much not to tell. My tummy once again hurts from laughing so much.
We had a wonderful breakfast and then headed out to town for some shopping. No big deal – normal day.
the following stories occurred:
- We decided to go go cart racing today. When it was our turn, Olivia decided she was going to ride with me. We got all buckled in and listened to the instructions. “Do not at anytime hit the orange guardrails!” Easy, right? We took off – slow at first and then we were flying. By the time we got around the second turn, the car in front of us abruptly put it’s breaks on and to avoid hitting them I had to swerve to the left – guess where? Yes, into the orange guardrail – thank goodness it hit the breaks. The car stopped and so did every else. Olivia and I had to get assistance and every eye was staring at us. There were spectators too and the little old ladies and grandpas were saying to me through the fence – ” You went the wrong way!” “No Shit Sherlock” I thought with my inside voice. I looked at Olivia while the tech pushed us back onto the track – she was shaking her head and waving to everyone. I told her, “Now we are back in the race!”. Olivia laughed the whole time as we passed Aunt Barb, Uncle Joey, her dad, mom, and sister, and we can’t forget William. As we were ending, and pulling into the finish zone, those spectators were clapping at us and saying “Now you got the right road”. I wanted to slap each one of them.
- As Barb and I walked back to my car, we had a little difficulty. The hill we were on didn’t seem so steep as we were going down it but it sure as heck kicked our butt going back. We were breathing so heavy and just taking it slow and Barb stopped and said, “Do you have any water?” I said “Sure, I have a gallon just handing out in this crossbody that I have on”. Minutes later we made it to the car -exhausted. I couldn’t stop laughing. We were just suppose to go Go Cart racing not hicking. We both have bad knees. We sat in the car for a bit to catch our breath and we looked at each other and simultaneously said “Only in Virginia.”
- more sexy-time in the kitchen: While cooking lunch, Amy slapped the spatula down on the table and told Dustin that he was going to hear that sound on his ass if he kept talking – she was joking. Barb and I were laughing so hard because he turned around from cooking and gave her a “love tap” on the behind. Sophia looks up from her coloring book and says, “that’s ok, I already told my teacher that Daddy spanks Mommy”. We couldn’t stop laughing. I can’t make this shit up.
- We were on the balcony with the girls and Uncle Joey was talking to them about spiders. Barb and I went in and the girls too but left Uncle Joey outside. Olivia locked the door on him and he was talking through the glass and making them laugh because he was imitating climbing up the door like a spider. The next thing we know – Uncle Joey opens the door and the girls shout ” Be a spider”. To my surprise his legs went out and the hands went flying around and he looked like a spider crawling, he even attempted to climb the wall – the girls went over to the couch and continued to watch him. I’m sure they were shocked because I’ve have never seen anyone walk like a spider and let me tell you, Joey was good at it. The girls were laughing so much, they fell backwards off the couch.
- The bride and groom arrived today for a short visit with us before they head to the venue. We ate a wonderful Italian dinner – Barb and Joey -were the cooks. For those of you who know me, know that I helped but I was not the chef. After dinner, the boys went outside to practice for the wedding – I inquired – Barb said, “Don’t ask.” I looked outside the bedroom window and saw that they were practicing with light sabers. Apparently Joey’s boys have done this forever and love Star Wars, etc…. Can’t wait! I’ll make sure I get a picture for all of you to see.
- We were watching the Kansas City football game. The guys were all excited. As I went to kiss the girls good night and sing to them the “Polish Lullaby”, Sophia looks at me and said “Nonna, don’t they know they can’t hear them?” I chuckled because she was absolutely right. When I went out to tell them what Sophia said, Barb and Amy laughed but the guys just looked at me and went back to yelling and screaming at the TV. I looked at Barb and we laughed again. I can’t make this shit up.
- I forgot to tell you, we forgot the ice. Can you believe it. We had to go out and get some.
- The dishwasher leaked water all over the kitchen floor today – I called maintenance. They came over and blamed housekeeping, who sometimes leaves water in the machines. After dinner, Joey and I were loading the dishwasher and I told him to grab one of those pods as I pointed to it to put in the dishwasher and start it up. To our surprise the darn thing was leaking again. Joey tried to figure out why and low and behold Amy comes into the kitchen and says, “Which pod did you put in?” Joey showed her which one. “That’s the Tide pod for the washing machine – duh no wonder it is leaking and soap is coming out – Joey looks at me and says ” you told me which one” I said, “they all look the same”. When Joey opened the dishwasher, it had bubbles coming towards us. We looked at each out, laughed, and closed the door to deal with later. Once again – only in Virginia.
- I just realized, there is a Joey Sr and his son, Joey Jr. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
- As we continued to watch the game, Joey Jr. says to his brother, William – “Why do you look like a Monk?” We figured William didn’t like the question because he left the room – we assumed he went to change or just didn’t want to get into it with Joey.
- Amy was teaching Barb how to knit a hat with the knitting machine. As she made comments, such as “just shove it in here” – the guys in the background would say comments like “that’s what she said!” We were laughing so hard that my belly began to hurt. “So in these holes, you have to shove your finger” – not a good thing to say to a room full of men watching football and drinking Sam Adams – I’ll leave that to your imagination on the comments. Barb laughed and said “sexy time again in the kitchen.” – Only in Virginia.
- So Barb looks at Dustin, who is wearing glasses and says, “Why do you have tape on both sides of your glasses?” Dustin says, “it’s not tape, it’s the Nike tag on them.
- I video taped Barb ranting about how the toilet paper doesn’t stay on the stand – I’ll have to figure out how to upload it so that you too can laugh till your belly hurts.
- Well, so much for Day 2 – tomorrow it is supposed to rain all day so we will be at the pool. Don’t expect too much to happen so stay tuned.
