The 3 In The Middle

Well,

I know everybody is in shock that we are actually putting something on this blog. But hey it is March this is month that I get really anxious for warmer weather and I do realized that we live in New Mexico one minute it is warm the nextminute we have snow. But the most what I realize is that this is the month that I think my mom went crazy. I cannot imagine it but then I have 4 older siblings so I guess it wasn't that bad for Mom and Dad. I am glad that they did it I truly think that mom lost her marbles but it might be that walker gene. On or about the 21st of March mom had Cathie at that time for about approx 20 days mom had a newborn (Cathie) 1yr old(Jen) and a 2yr old(Brian). Over the years I have told great stories about us 3 in the middle bunch. After us three came along mom took a break for a time then along came Paul, Aaron and Holly which were spread out. But the 3 in the middle well............ so in march I often reflect on the broken bones, and the black eyes that were inflicted and of course being thrown across the room. Then of course I think of Cathie and all the endless torment that we inflicted upon her. Of course my two younger sisters probably have a different recollection of it all. My Four older siblings probably remember things different, but I will never forget putting a mouse in Susan's cereal bowl as she was eating the cereal. She of course went out screaming. But hey my job was to catch the mouse after that anything could happen, man did I pay for that one.
Over the course of many years I have had the opportunity to go to college with Cathie and we endured the mighty long drive (even when she went the wrong way on the reservation) and eat Jen out of house and home. I can say it was mighty fine food for a poor starving college student. Now that I look back on it she was just as poor as I was but hey what can I say excepts thanks.
But I am grateful for mom "losing her marbles" and having us "the 3 in the middle" so over the next 20 to 25 days as the 3 in the middle or only a year apart may it be the best.
Until next time
