Grandma's Journal

Today we took Carson and Oscar with us while we did our running around. We took off around 10am, and headed to the lawn mower shop to take our blade in to get it sharpend. then off to the DR. office for apts. Neil and I are both tired of being sick. Neil has Walking Phenumina, and I have the JUNK! what ever that means. I have been sick since December and on 4 different antibotic's and they have not kicked what ever is wrong. Dr. is giving me 3 weeks to get over it, and if I am not better, then we are going to do a CT of my sinus's.

Then it was off to the bank to make a deposit so I can get my Season Tickets for Hockey. Yeap that time of year where I have to register to hold my seat! Don't want anyone else to get it. Then we ran to shopko, and bought nothing, and drove thru the drive thru at KFC/Taco Bell so we could get lunch and take the boys to the park to play. We let the boys play while we set up the table. The boys had Chicken, mash potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob, bisquits, and I ate a salad. After we all got done eating we played on the toys.

Then it was off to Fred Myers to pick up our RX and do a little shopping. I bought strawberries to go with dinner tonight as we could have strawberry short cake. Neil is cooking pork chops, Amy is making her famous yummy carrots, and I am making a salad, garlic bread with multi grain rolls and dessert.

Carson is sleeping on our couch, and Oscar is watching Animal Planet, and Neil is starting to think about dinner. I am going to go get a cup of coffee and lay down. I am tired of being sick, and maybe if I lay down for a little bit I will get some energy to do some laundry later tonight. Plus I still have to put the clean dishes away before dinner.

Tonight was our movie night, but that didn't happen, as it took me longer to do all the dirty dishes then normal. My mom was being a big old brat (hag) and was throwing a tantrum...she was mad at me, and was letting everyone know. She refused to eat dinner, and sulked. Amy, Bryan, and the kids went outside to play, and I asked her very nicely to get up and go eat her dinner, and she flat out told me NO, I am still fuming. Ok then sit there and be mad, but the only one your hurting is yourself as your the one that is going to go to bed hungry. Well she sat there and watched everything that was going on. She refused to eat 2 hours later. I stayed up until almost 10:30 listening to our losey hockey game on the radio(ya we lost) 7 to 2 their favor, hoping that she would give in and eat something, but she refused.

She finally went to bed, and I decided that it was a cat and mouse game and went down stairs and went to bed myself. I felt so bad that she wouldn't eat! I even told Neil I fet bad, but he reminded me that there was nothing I could do as it was just part of the desease. And I know that but it still didn't make me feel much easier about it.

I hate this desease! It has taken away my mother and it just isn't fair!!!!

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.		2009-04-07 3:07 PM Fun in the sun with the boys Today we took Carson and Oscar with us while we did our running around.
