i married a greek

Today I woke to my hubby speaking Albanian to his mom and the conversation was loud.  then it came to my attention after a few stretches that this is normal behavior.  loud conversations mean everything is well, a celebration maybe, an argument or possibly just a simple hello "i love you and miss you".  In my house there are no human babies so i guess mom doesn't quite apply to me....yet.  there are 2 adult cats and 5 1 month old kittens....and a husband.  all in all i guess i have 7.5 kids so to speak.  feed them, clean the toilet, clean the litter, get the milk, calm them to sleep, play until they stop teething on each others ears....yes, I was speaking about Edi.  After this great morning norm, we got ready to have brunch with our SLO family friends.  our sweet little peanuts named Bella and jack were so happy we could join.  prime rib, omelette's, blintz's, fresh fruit, potatoes, bacon, sausage, eggs, cakes, campaign, OJ, you name it it was ready.  next stop....auntie Cal's house for a kitty fix and a ride on the big tree swing with uncle Edi.  through out this day it is nice to remember that even though we don't have children of our own at this time....there are many little peanuts in need of our love and affection today....feels good to be there for that.  since "i married a Greek", it has been a journey of adventure and change......i am happy to say it has been a good choice.  in honor of both of our moms, Joanne, Fatusha, and last grandma, Nana Gasser....happy mom n moms day.
