Hi, everyone. Welcome to another episode of On Display. I'm so happy you guys are tuning in with me today. I mean, if you're listening to this, we're about to hit a three day weekend, which who doesn't love a three day weekend, right? And if you're from Jersey, a lot of you ahead and down the shore.

So as you're listening to this right now, I am probably packed up in my car driving down the shore with a bunch of children and a little white dog and like food that was going to expire for the next four days because I don't know if anybody else does this, but I have issues like I go through my whole entire fridge when I know I'm not going to be here for the next four days and I want the strawberries, I want the grapes. I'm like that chicken cutlet still going to be good. I'm going to the kids will snack on it. I last minute I literally start

like packing up the car with random food. The peaches are going to go bad. I'm going to bring the peaches like I'm a psycho with that. I don't know why, but yeah, Antonia is having. She's the senior. So I feel like she's been getting seniority around here this year, which, you know, the boys will get their turn, but they all ask all the time, like, can they bring friends for the weekend to the shore house and, you know, they're always able to have friends come and go, but like as far as sleeping over and like taking bed space and taking my

extra rooms in the house, I only allow like one at a time to really do that or else it's complete chaos. So Antonia has decided that she's bringing five girlfriends this weekend to sleep over for three nights straight. So cute that like snacks, the cooking, the I'm hungry and the towels. And I have all white towels guys in my shore house and they're full of makeup and like tanning. Whatever they

put on when they're laying out and I lose my mind, like, you know, that episode of Beverly Hills, when she got like the tanning lotion or something on the couch, like, that's what happens to me. And I literally told Antonia this year, like, your girlfriends that wear that one Maui lotion, that's like, it comes out of the bottle brown to make them glow. They are not allowed

to go near my outdoor furniture or sit on my couch is or how about tell them to leave that home and I will give them any other lotion that they want to use because that's what happened last time.

Okay, so that's just like some of my mom news, but in all, in all honesty, I'm going to miss this. I kind of have a feeling it's the last time she's going to ask to have all her little girlfriends over. She's officially going off to college.

So it's it's it's going to be better sweet. So don't let me completely bitch about the whole thing. I am happy about it. And I do love when I see them all, like, hang out my pool all day. And I'm like rocking on my rocking chair, watching them. I'm probably going to cry a lot this weekend because I feel like

All of this stuff with Antonia has just been like hitting me lately because it's all becoming real.

Her graduations coming up. We just hemmed her prom dresses. She's going to two proms because don't forget I pulled her out of high school halfway through. So she's going to go to the first prom in her original high school. And now her second prom in this high school. So we had we're doing two of everything.

But yeah, it's just, you know, it always gets a little intense having all the friends over, but it really is so beautiful to see like the woman that she has grown up to become and it's great to see how much she's loved by her friends and family. And so it's going to be a cute little weekend with Antonia and all her friends. And also, I just have to add this in. If you guys know Memorial Day weekend on the East Coast for all like my New Yorkers and my Jersey people listening.

You know, you California people, you always get nice weather. But let me tell you what happens over here. We like never know how it's going to be from Memorial Day weekend because it's hit or miss every year. You either get lucky or it's like freezing. It's usually never warm enough yet. And like all week, we just stare. We stare. We stare. We wait to see if we're going to cancel barbecues. We wait to see if we're going to cancel things.

But this weekend actually is turning out pretty nice like 72 to 75. I can deal with that with no rain. So I'm happy. But that's that's the life of Memorial Day three day weekend.

And I have one other confession. So they have off school on Friday. So of course, we're going to go down Thursday night. Right. But then they have school on Tuesday and the traffic going back on Monday is so insanity. Do any other moms want to like pull their children out of school on Tuesday. Or is it just me.

I'm also thinking about just sending in Tonya and Gina back. And I'm like, Joey, you're still young. We can miss one day school. So we could just enjoy the nice weather and not dry back on Monday and the traffic because that's complete torture.

Anyway, in other news, switching gears a little bit of the house wise reunion trailer. Oh my God. Wow. Just so you guys know, I did not see that either until, you know, they played it out on the TV. And before everybody started to Instagram it, they did not give us a heads up on that trailer. So I did not see it.

Like, wow, wow, it was intense. And first of all, I just want to say, thank you so much to all of your messages, all of your DMs. I am reading them. I am reposting a lot of you too. But it's, it's sweet. And it was rough. It was a rough day. I think you can see it in my face. I think you can.

You see it shine through. And it's not always easy to persevere. Right. It's not easy to come out and try to put your big girl pants on and do the right thing and say the right things. And, you know, I, I was also, I was, I was giggling at myself because I forgot that I said that as I was putting my lip gloss on.

I forgot, I forgot that I had some snarky one liners in there. The lip gloss thing was funny. And I saw a lot of people remaking the little Beverly Hills comment that I made. And I don't know. It's just intense. It looks crazy. Part one guys is airing next week on Tuesday, which is May 30th.

But you do not want to miss it. It is a three part reunion.

It takes, we could have probably did a seven part reunion. But I think three will just be just enough of your time. So thank you guys. I see you all. I do want to say that. Honestly, I feel like this is my platform to really be able to like, you know, it's one thing if I see you on Instagram. But when I'm literally speaking to you for all of you that have supported me for so many years and back me up and see my side and certain things.

Like I do appreciate you and I do love you from the bottom of my heart. Like I could get a motion. I don't want to get emotional, but it is a lot. And sometimes when I watch it, I stress for myself. And I'm like, wow, Melissa, like, how did you do that day? That was a day, you know, so thank you to everybody who always has my back.
