Grandma's Journal

Today I spent half of my day next door doing the "Nanny Thing" The boys and I stayed outside for an hour playing and drawwing with the sidewalk chaulk...then it was back inside to make a fort, and play. I washed the dishes by hand, which is something I haven't done since my last trailer visit with Becky. The hot water wasn't coming out of the facet, so I had to leave the facet on and it dribbled out. Took me an hour to wash 4 plates, saucers, bowls, cups and glasses, plus a pot, lid, and silverwear...it was a very slow process...

then the boys and I did some learning stuff and then it was off to my house to meet with the CNA that will be watching my mom when I am out of town...Kelly is a real sweetheart...mom seemed to take to her, so I am hoping that this goes really well. Kelly will get to come in and take care of mom under Neil's supervision eyes when I am out of town for my next class.

The boys were tired and took a 2 hour nap. Then it was up, play time, and then snacks.

Dinner was at Amy's house tonight, and she made homemade Spagehtti. I took a salad and we had a good meal fit for a fat king.

After reading Pegs jounal, I see once again we had the same thing for dinner! Funny how that is! good minds think alike I guess!

Night all, I am going to go spend some quality time with my loving husband and do a load of clothes.

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.		2009-04-20 7:27 PM Great Monday Today I spent half of my day next door doing the "Nanny Thing" The boys and I stayed outside for an hour playing and drawwing with the sidewalk chaulk...then it was back inside to make a fort, and play.
