Grandma's Journal

Can you beleive it has been a very long time since I have been on this jounal. Let's see what has happened since I last log in.

The Holidays have come and gone...birthdays have been celebrated...Carson is now 3, Desiray celebrated her 1st birthday, and I am now a year older.

Mom has been in the hospital. She had a Urinay Track Infection which took it's toll on her. she has went down hill even more. She mostly sleeps and eats very little. I have to just about force her to eat and drink..I just make sure she always has something to drink on her nightstand, and I make sure she has small amounts of food laying around her room and at the kitchen table....she loves eatting dinner with Neil, so when I am home it throws her off.

I am still loving my job at the Girl Scout retail shop in Richland. I have taken the store on the road twice now, and have totally outdone the sales on the privious year. My sales are up and that is good. They have cut my hours back, so I am only working 4 days a week. But I have enjoyed my little time off. Before long I will be working Monday thru Friday, then summer will be here and I will be off.

The kids are in Seattle this week. as Carson has a visit at the Children's Hosptial. Testing and so forth. They are still worried that his IGA isn't doing good. His ammune system just isn't getting stronger. All of his illness's go straight to his lungs. Poor guy! I so worry about him.

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.		2010-03-01 1:05 PM March brings us a lion Can you beleive it has been a very long time since I have been on this jounal. Let's see what has happened since I last log in.
