This grandma is back in the babysitting business. Well, not business, but my two youngest grandkids need a babysitter again and it took me about half a second to say yes when their daddy called me! For this I have prayed mightily. It may be for just four weeks, or indefinitely, who knows. Their mom is thinking about being a stay at home mom, which is what I wanted in the first place. Her boss will be away for 3 weeks so we know she will be working at least another month for sure. Taking the babies to a non-family member babysitter just did not work out so my daughter, Casey, and I will be happy to share taking care of the 4 month old and the 3 yr old. I will be blogging less, more exhausted, and tremendously happy. I had my two oldest grandsons all during spring break and they are coming again to spend the night with me tomorrow. We plan to play Chickenfoot until we fall asleep in our chairs. Could not ask for anything better.
Have fun and take your vitamins. Younguns will wear down the most fit.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
Boy, you've got that right! Wish I had just half of the 3 yr old's energy!
DeleteOh I am sooooooooooooooooo jealous. When you are not here I will smile because I know where you are and what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI wish every grandma could have her grandkids close by and see them often. Today was the first day and due to a wedding and a funeral and some things that had to be done I got to babysit for 10 hours straight. oh my! got to eat my Wheaties! But even though I am exhausted it feels good.
DeleteIt sounds like it will be a very exhausting and very fun time. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteExactly on both accounts. I came home exhausted today but happier than I have been in a long time. Today was a 10!
DeleteI am so happy for you. I know how bad you have wanted to be their babysitter. Taylor will be excited to have her grandma and Casey back. But I am jealous as I want to come play Chicken Foot with you!
ReplyDeleteTaylor was very excited today! We had a real good day. Rhett is no problem at all as long as you don't put him in the carseat! I wish I had someone to play Chickenfoot every night.
DeleteThat is good news. I know this means the world to you.
ReplyDeleteYes it does mean the world to me. We had a wonderful day. I kept the 3 yr old and 4 month old 10 hours and my other two grandsons came over for an hour or so. It was just wonderful.
DeleteSince it's something you want, that's wonderful! Enjoy every moment, and get good sleep at night!
ReplyDeleteSleep! Ah, I wish I could. I have a terrible time getting more than 4 hours sleep at a time. I kept the 3 yr old and 4 month old for 10 hours today, came home exhausted and thought i would sleep at least 8 hours but it is 3:30 a.m. and I haven't been able to fall asleep yet.
