Grandkids

Granddaughters are so much fun………but they can also be exhausting.  My memories of being 11 & 14 are so different.  There was no computer, TV <yeah……I’m OLD>, no cell phone and certainly not the running that they like to do.  What happened to riding a bike, reading, etc,  They came equipped with their own lap top puter, 2 cell phones and a couple of books.  I figure nobody in the family will ever read this so I’m safe <fingers crossed> BUT the one has a boyfriend.  He calls every night!!!  I mean EVERY night.  They talk about who knows what!  Hmmmmmm my hubby didn’t call every night when we were engaged!!!  lol  These kids are going to be high maintenance.     But then they go to a school that costs more per year than my entire college education.  Unbelieveable!!! 

We did get our travel documents for the cruise.  Now to get hubby thru his physical therapy and walking!    Along with all of the necessities is a little paper that says I’m mobile, but not very.  Seems to say it all.  Now to figure out what shore excursions we’d like.  Obviously sky diving is out.  Opps……I never liked heights anyway.  Not much missing there.    Perhaps I should have thought about what a classmate called…..   http://hellifiknow.ca/.  It seems so fitting.  Or perhaps I should just not ramble like others I know.  http://www.sliloh.com/blog/  Or the best idea yet???  Just go make dinner so I can go to another granddaughters T-Ball game!!! 

 

Mom is 94!

Somehow I have a hunch that when I say my Mother is 94…….you know I’m not in my 30’s.  But I’m very proud of her.  Shes an amazing lady.  Shes in better health than I am.   My brother is visiting from California, so we’re having a party!!  Cousins, second cousins, grandkids and greatgrandkids will be there as well.  She lives in an independant living facility that is really a great place.   It looks like its going to be a beautiful day and I’m taking my camera.  Now if I can just figure out how to put a picture on here, we just might have something to see. 

I’ve given up my daily bike riding this week and it sounds terrible…….but I feel much better!!!  My legs will go places and do more.  Wish I knew just why that was happening.  ;? 

 

Babysitting

We’re getting to the weekend and on Friday evenings, we frequently have our daughter and her family here.  We are really in a rut!!!!  Friday nights is usually McDonalds.  I know………fast food.  ;o/  BUT I don’t have to cook <one very positive thing> there is no cleanup to do <2nd positive thing> and it doesn’t taste all that bad <ok…….thats 3>.  The girls usually do chicken nuggets, apple slices and milk.  Pretty healthy IMHO.  ok………..but tonight Mom wants to go back to school <shes a teacher> and because of circumstances……I’ll have the girls until their Dad comes to pick them up.   Papa <my hubby> won’t be here.  And where will he be?  He was asked to play his bagpipes at a “Relay for Life” program.  Yes……..I’m married to a bagpipper.  He comes with kilt and all.  When his knee is doing well, he is in a marching band.    There are 2 little granddaughters.  This is the youngest.  2 more will be coming to visit on Sunday.  Lots more to be said about them.  And there are 2 grandsons but they live in California.  

 

Its Thursday!!!

Why are Thursdays always so busy?  Is it just me??  Its a toss up.  Do I try and catch up on the miles I should have ridden this week on my bike……..or do I finish reading chapter 3 of my class?  Decisions………..

 

 

What to say?

I thought it would be so easy to just sit down and right a few humorous things.  I have a crazy family, a nutty cat or 2 and a rather quirky life.  It isn’t easy.  We’ve been doing lots of various things, but for the moment its all been medical.  My husband had a new knee done at the new of Feb and now he isn’t responding as well as he should be, sooooooooooo they are going to do a manipulation on it next Mon.  For the following 10 days, he will have to be taken to physial therapy.  I have a hunch thats the end of my free time for a while.   But I could be wrong.  Wouldn’t that be a nice surprise!!!  ;o)))
