Dealing with the G'ma issue

OK, first things first, there IS no Iowa, day 2.  Day 2 was so boring that I fell asleep MYSELF!  Why would I push that on you.  Although the guys found my camera yesterday, during tear-down, and there is some weird stuff on there.  Maybe tomorrow.

I called Brett tonight.  Yeah, I'm trying to get used to the idea that I'll be a grandma before the year ends (at the age of 39.)  I haven't met Lacey yet, but I plan to this weekend.  I told him to bring her over, but she's scared.  I don't want her to be scared.

I hope they come over this weekend, so I can hug her and tell her that she has a system of support here.  I can't offer money, but I can do a LOT to help.  I've already heard the name choices, but I'll save those for another entry.  They are good, strong names, though.

I hurt my wrist again.  This has been going on since I was a Sophomore in school.  It can be a year of nothing, then unbearable pain.  Ask Mom.  We went to KU Med. Center and they couldn't figure anything out.  Whatever.  It hurt then, and it hurts now.  It hurts so bad now that I want to shoot you in the eye.  Yeah, YOU!

OK, I won't shoot you.  Hell, I don't know where you live.  You're safe.  But my damn wrist/hand hurts REAL bad.  I wish I knew what was wrong with it.  I don't, so I deal with it.  It will be fine in a day or two.

So, here we are.  Kevin is broken down, and I am more broken down by the minute.  Maybe we'll have a grandbaby so soon so that we don't croak first.  Who knows?  I want to rock that baby and tell him/her stories about her crazy family.  Yeah, we're nuts.

OK, I can't resist:  A girl would be Charlie Kay.  Don't tell Brett that I told you, OK?  He told me that in confidence.  Shhh!

Charlie Kay?!  I LOVE IT!  :-D  It'll work out that the grandbaby will be old enough to take care of you by the time you're completely broken.  hee....

Did they give you a splint for your wrist?!  or did they just send you home with a dumb look on their faces?  I'm seeing a surgery in your future.

Thanks for sparing us the boredom that is Iowa.  Especially that part of Iowa...
I would be having a hard time becoming a Grandma at 39 too!  Poor girl, of course she is scared!  I'm sure it will all work out!  Anytime a baby is involved it seems to!

I live near enough!  Forget that!  I became a Nana at 39. She is 21 now and my perfect darling!  She has 5 more siblings, the youngest almost 1. All from the same mama and papa.  I still remember watching her be born. I fell in love at that momemt. Total of 9 grandchildren and they make life worth living.  Support, very seldom monetary, is what keeps them together. That and LOVE.

I think the only way to avoid being a young grandmother is to not be a young mother. :)  I was 28 before I had my first child....Now that I am 47 I am still not ready to be a g'ma and thankfully, neither are they... I figure I have at least 4 more years. LOL... but they could prove me wrong.   Estela http://journals.aol.com/easteeleco/Lasttimeatbat
