Grandma's Journal

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.		2009-04-22 8:35 AM Why do some family members suck at being part of a family We got a very disturbing phone call last night from Lenn, who lives in Port Ochard. He asked me if I had heard that Leah (his sister who lives here in Pasco) had another stroke. I told him know, why...he said that our niece "Cami" called him and left a voice message telling him that Leah had a stroke...she has NEVER called him before and Lenn couldn't figure out why they didn't call us, as everyone knows on this side of the mountains that we are the go-between for the family members on the other side of the mountains...conflicks on the family memmbers here in the area...they just seem to not have grown up! So needless to say we hear about Neil's sister who live 4 miles away from his brother who lives 350 miles away...sure mad me mad, and not saying how mad Neil is! People need to grow up and act like adults, and quit being spoiled little brats and think that they are better then others! Read/Post Comments (1) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top
