Things I love about my grands, etc. When I really really need something, they do it for me. Today my DIL and grands picked me up for errands and lunch, then without asking cleaned up my kitchen, etc. And, of course lots of hugs. The grands all work and contribute to the family and my DIL is doing a wonderful job.
Things I worry about with that North Carolina family of mine:
They have three dogs, three cats, six kids and now for Father's Day, they all went to the snake store to get their father two snakes and a Gecko..???? Jeeze Louize.
I am so proud that my 16 yr old bought his own truck to fix up, but all shaky that he wants to "raise it up" Whatever that means.
When I complain about my arthritis and fatigue....In unison, they say, "Better old than dead" Lordy!! Always so exhausted..becoming a hermit....Guess I had better follow up on that sleep study after all..
Midnight, one or two AM..it is hard not to feel the losses of the past.. Tonight I did some mindless tasks to relax..and watched a blah movie. I stripped the leaves off of the artificial dollar store flowers to make flower pens...All ready for action, I forgot electrical tape..
so true aging is not for wimps...some days it's work to keep going and focused on positive things...
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you! Wonderful grands! The flower pens sound great. Hope you are continuing to keep moving. I still drag myself three times a week to the MOG- medically oriented gym- and grit my teeth all the way through, but have to keep moving. Do you have Silver Sneakers near you? They offer chair yoga- sitting down exercises that a lot of 80 year old woman come and do at the gym and they walk out better than when they come in.
