Good news

Good news for the economy?! My family tells me the Yankee win means things are looking up. I guess they have the thing figured out! All I know is every night there's a playoff game I need to make and give out more food, and stay up longer, and get up earlier, and get to bed later, spend more money on my budget and wear out finally to get a good nights sleep before it starts again.
It's a rat race around here, everyone has the family manners down, (or lack thereof) reminiscent of "Dogs and Cats living together.....' whew!
In the end it's good work and though I often feel invisible here, seldom feel heard or listened to by my own, they have all married fabulous folks and families.
I also often feel like; "I'm a stranger here" and "have wandered from a more exalted sphere".
Many years from this night we will cherish the results of the games far less than the company we kept and fun memories of these nights.
With the exhaustion behind me and the bad moods gone with enough sleep, I hope we'll remember the new snack mix was a hit, 'the pooled "Celebration Sundaes on Sunday". The pumpkin carving amid the cheers and gasps of the viewers, the lap visits of little Sadie and Izze, the special guest Bubba, and lots of people all talking at once. Our trademark.
