Grandma's Journal

My last date to write in here was July 4th...wow how time flies...

Lets see if I can catch you all up on what has been going on..

The week of the 6th of July I was busy with my adopted grandson Cole...he was here visiting and we love having him...he is 12 now and is such a great loving guy...he took me out to eat and paid for it...I have never had one of my old daycare kids do that for me before besides my other daycare son Joe...Cole spent a couple nights with us and Carson spent one night with us also...we had fun. made homemade butter popcorn, with m'm's in it, watched a movie...Carson ended up sleeping with Grandma in the middle of the night....we ate Peanut butter Captain Crunch cereal for breakfast...that was a 1st for us and it was pretty darn good.

On the 11th I was up at 4am and heading out of town by 6am...I told Amy to remind me to call Cindy before I dropped her off at the Prison for her and Carson to attend the family BQ With Becky. Yes I was a good mom and gave it up for the 1st time...I let Amy go instead of me... I figured it was time someone else got the oppertunity to have some fun instead of me....

Well as it turned out I am so very sorry Cindy...Amy forgot to remind me, and I spaced it off...All's I could think about was spending time alone with DesiRay and shopping with her in Tacoma....I am a very bad friend...shame on me!!!! So my very dear friend...Happy Belated Birthday!

I got to go visit Becky on the 12th with Amy and the kids....then it was back home... I had to drive like hell to get back as I didn't want to leave mom home alone any longer then nessacary, as her caretaker left at 1pm...and Neil left right about the same time...so we left the prison at 2pm and headed home....I made it to North Bend, pulled over to fill the tank with gas, drive thru the McDonald drive thru for a bite to eat, and then Amy drove to Sunnyside...I took over from there so she could fed Desi...Mom was in her room waiting for me to get home...dinner and then we watched some tv...

Last Wednesday we took the kids boat out and had some fun....Amy, Neil and Carson all rode the jet ski(it's pulled behind the boat)....Amy rode it 1st to show Carson that it is fun...then Carson got on it and rode with mommy...he didn't want to get off he had so much fun...then it was Grandpa's turn...Carson loved watching grandpa ride...then daddy took stirred the boat over some waves and grandpa flipped, and Carson started crying and yelling the grandpa was going to get ate by the sharks!!! We were all telling Carson that there were NO sharks in this water! Carson was very worried about his grandpa....then we rode around for awhile to let Carson settle down, and then as we were heading back in, Amy said she wanted to go for another spin on the jet ski, and she was getting on the jet ski, she asked Carson if he wanted to go, and he said no "sharks" "grandpa fell" we told him it would be ok, that daddy wouldn't let him fall...so he went for another ride with mommy and had lots of fun....
Desi didn't like the life vest she cried almost the whole time...I finally unhooked the top strap, and then she was ok...she ate and feel asleep in my arms...

Neil and I went out and bought bikes. He got an 18 speed I think and he made me get a 3 wheel bike...yes a bike with trainning wheels (so to speak)...I have the worse balance due to all of my hearring loss and ear problems that I can't even walk down the street in a straight line...I always joke that if I ever get stopped by the police and they ask me to walk a straight line, I might as well tell them to hand cuff me, as I won't be able to pass the test...Neil put my bike together today...I was so excited...we went for a short ride tonight..it was fun...I couldn't make it up the 2 hills, but that was ok....I will be able to some day!!! I am excited that I will be able to go outside and ride and get some excerise...I want to lose weight and get in better shape and I hope this will help me do just that...

I get to watch Desi this weekend...the kids are going to go to the Boat Races, so Desi gets to visit grandma!!

We won't be able to go anywhere, as Neil has been driving my car to work, as his car shuts down after a 20 minute drive in the heat...has something to do with the brain that we had replaced...it was a used brain, as they don't make them anymore for that P.O.S....Neil would love to get an older car that he can fix himself if something goes wrong, but I just keep telling him that he has to sell his Kawaskii motorcycle first....we don't have the money any other way...with me NOT working anymore we don't have that extra income...

Well it is late and I need to head to bed...so night all, and I will try and do better in my 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.		2009-07-21 10:13 PM just don't look at how long it has been My last date to write in here was July 4th...wow how time flies...
