Grandma's Journal

I have to add this little blog to my journal, as I want to be able to let Cindy know my good news!

Got a phone call from Becky today, her weekly call.
She got great news last week.

First was they have signed her up to take a new program/class for lifers! It is how to, and what to expect upon release for the inmate and family. This class includes class for just the inmate, and then classes for the inmate and family memebers.

So my first 2 clases are on Saturday, April 18th and the next one is May 2nd. they are from 9:30 to 3:30. Six hour classes!

Then last Friday, she got the news that she is starting one of the programs that inmates have to take to get released. She has been bugging them to take this due to she is allergic to bee's so she didn't want to do the Fire Fighting program, and ways its a program called "Drafting". They will be teaching her computer stuff, The first one will be how to read and do blue prints.

Becky only has 7 years left, and it is all starting to fall into place for her release. hopefully with in 3 years she will be in a work release program. They have been fighting her on putting her in any programs until her 3 years are left, but for some reason they have moved these programs up for her!

I am now very excited and having to wait for her release seems like it is all down hill from here.

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.

A friend of my oldest daughter made it for me, and she did a beautiful job. I will treasure it always.		2009-04-05 7:09 PM Got Good News Today!
