Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2006. Mattie was four and half years old and why I snapped this photo was because Mattie was showing me his Lightning McQueen slippers. He had just gotten them and loved them. Mattie loved the Lightning McQueen movie! We literally saw it countless times, and had everything from Lightning McQueen sheets to cars. This was such an innocent time in our lives and I had no idea what horrors were in store for me. Each day, all I can say is..... Mattie watch over your mom.

I am NOT replaceable! I CAN'T be erased! Though Peter and his new wife are working hard at doing just that! When I think I can't possibly become more mad, more angry, or more besides myself, I have learned that I can! Peter, his wife, and her children are in Boston this week! Not because they told me, but because I am a member of Peter's family and we talk! They plan on visiting with Peter's family as Peter wants to introduce them to his new wife and family! In fact, he has told them that he now has four children! Forget Mattie, he no longer exists, and isn't included in this number. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I know is if a family member was enduring what I am, I can assure you NOT only would Peter and his new wife NOT be allowed in my house, but I would be giving them both a lecture. One thing is consistent about me, and that is that I am fiercely loyal. In addition, I believe that family sticks up for family. Perhaps that is the Italian heritage in me, but we do not take well to outsiders who wish to sever or cause harm to our family. You know HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED? Tonight I am so livid, I practically wanted to take something and break it!
So I am happy to say things are underway with a Sweet Potato Souffle!
When I was chatting to Peter's mom today, I was reminiscing about all the times Peter and I cooked big meals together. We were a team, I guess until we were not. Not only are we not a team, but he has set up his camp next door. I am not sure I will ever understand how Peter or his new wife think this is okay! But I guess in their minds I am nothing and I don't matter. My existence is meaningless to them.
