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.

Tuesday brings hubby's night to cook

Today was a lazy day, didn't really do much of anything, except my preschool teaching, and watched Carson for about 3 hours while mommy went and cleaned house. We played witht he blocks and played some livingroom hockey. Then he seemed to be getting tired, and started running a fever and asking for Grandpa. We finally found grandpa and he asked grandpa to take him home. Gee like I couldn't of done that.

Dinner was grilled hamburgers and it was nice to see that Neil had everything under control and really didn't need much of my help tonight. He cleaned up and had all the dishes soaking in hot dish water so all's I had to do was rinse and put in the dishwasher.

Now that the kitchen is cleaned, table wiped off, we are going to sit down in the livingroom and watch our first Blue Ray movie. Thanks to Amy and Bryan buying us a Blue Ray DVR for Christmas. The movie is called "Shooter" and so far it is keeping us on the edge of our seat. Seems to be a great movie. night all
