Grandma's Journal
My Journal

I became a Grandma at the age of 49 years old. Well I was actually only 17 days from being 50. My baby girl gave me gave me my first grandchild. He was a beautiful bouncy boy. Then 2 years later she surprised me on my birthday at 5am by waking me up and telling me "Happy Birthday Mom!" Time to get up we are going to the hospital and having a baby today! I told her NO that's tomorrow. It took a little bit for her to get it through my groggy head that she was going to be giving me a birthday present! and she totally did. She gave me a dark hair beautiful little grand daughter. Now I can enjoy spoiling 2. I have decided that the best thing in the world is being a Grandma! There is nothing that come close to that! I have been married for 30 years to a man that lives for his family. He only wants the best for all of us and spoils us all! He is a good man that works hard for his dollar. We have a pretty good marriage to say the least. Well it must be if we can put up with each others faults this long! My mom who has Alzehimers lives with us and has been for almost 3 years now. She is in the finally stages of the disease and still hangs in there. She loves to grab the broom and sweep. She does this everyday, and several times a day. I keeps her busy. She will even sweep the counch or the kitchen table if you let her. My oldest daughter is going to be 34 years old this year and hasn't lived at home in 16 years. I spend as must time as I can with her. But it is never enough. She plans on coming home to live and take care of us in 7 years. I cant wait! It's my dream to have her home. She is a dear friend to me and we have a great relationship. she always tells me that I am her best friend.

I love Lighthouses, and I collect them. I added a beautiful homemade lighthouse quilt to my collection in November 2008. A friend of my oldest daughter made it for me, and she did a beautiful job. I will treasure it always.

my morning

My morning started off at 3:30am...my son in law brought my grandson over and he refused to go back to sleep. So I conned him into going downstairs and laying in bed with Grandpa. We go downstairs and Carson say's "it's dark Grandma". So I ask him if I turn on the tv and put in a movie if that will be ok. He says yes. So I pop in Madagascar and he lays down long enough for me to climb into bed next to him. That lasted about 1/2 hour. Then he leans over me and grabs my face and says, "grandma me hungry, me eat?" I look at him, and tell him to ask grandpa to take us out for breakfast, so he looks at grandpa and says "grandpa eat?". So we get up and get dressed and head to Denny's. After breakfast we head home, and I look at Neil and say to him, you stay up with Carson, I am going to go fall into the bed. So I try to sleep off and on while Carson is playing hockey and running around the house. My cell phone goes off at 8:00 am and Carson brings me my cell phone, so up to start my day I go. After we get online to call Carson's mommy at the hospital so they can chat we find out DesiRay is doing better. Amy says she is hoping the doctor will let them come home today. Wait and see game is now on! Carson's daddy is back home now from work, and they are gone, I can now do my preschool work with Oscar and then at 11:00 we are off to the Car doctor for a few hours...Dinnner plans have been made with me cooking again tonight, and hopefully some laundry being put into my new washer and dryer to get things caught up there.
