Grandma's Journal

The flu hit here on Wednesday...Carson spent the night on Tuesday, and Wednesday evening he was sick....Thursday I cam down with the flu, and slept most of the day on the couch sleeping..didn't eat anything until late and it was 1/2 cup of soup...Thursday evening, Amy came down with it, and today Bryan and Desi have it...so far Mom and Neil haven't gotten it, and I sure hope they don't....I am still not up to par, did have my sister come get me today so I could get my car from the shop (air conditioner is working again) only cost me $4.00...it was still under warentte...so the warrenty covered the rest $500.00.... I ran to Winco to pick up some food, and after I got it all loaded on the belt, I thought, damn now I got to bag it...I was exchasted...got home, unloaded food, put it away,and fed mom and I...then it was back down on the couch for a nap...

Dinner is done, grilled cheese sandwich, noodles and grapes...and now I am ready to put away the clean dishes, and put the few dirty dishes in it, and head downstairs to do a load of laundry...

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.		2009-07-31 7:13 PM flu has hit home The flu hit here on Wednesday...Carson spent the night on Tuesday, and Wednesday evening he was sick....Thursday I cam down with the flu, and slept most of the day on the couch sleeping..didn't eat anything until late and it was 1/2 cup of soup...Thursday evening, Amy came down with it, and today Bryan and Desi have it...so far Mom and Neil haven't gotten it, and I sure hope they don't....I am still not up to par, did have my sister come get me today so I could get my car from the shop (air conditioner is working again) only cost me $4.00...it was still under warentte...so the warrenty covered the rest $500.00....
