My grandkids are my lifes treasures…..
Hubby has today off! Woo Hoo, I am so excited! He works so much that sometimes I get so bummed out. We are going to go do a little Christmas shopping. I have some wonderful ideas for the 3 grandkids that we get to see all the time. I was having a harder time with our grandaughter that we don’t see very often. I talked with our grandaughters mom last night and she gave me some ideas and sizes. She also asked if we would like to take her Christmas Eve! I said of course, but then she was saying how we have to come see her more often inbetween so she can get to know us better. I realize she doesn’t know us as well as she should, but this is not totaly our fault. It is a long story, but we never saw her until she was almost 2. My son and her mother had broken up long before she was born. The girl was not exactly the most honest person in the world. I had my doubts that the baby was his. My son has a lot of issues and has been in and out of trouble from the time he was 16 years old (he will be 24 in April). This is another issue I deal with on a daily basis. I love him with all the love a mother can give, but I don’t love the stupid things he has done. Anyways the first time we saw our grandaughter she was almost 2 and her mother just called us out of the blue. We went and saw her. I was awestruck that first time. I took one look at her and knew she was my sons child. She looked just like him. She lives over an hour away, she has never given us her phone number, we went to her home once and not even sure where it is. We go see her at her other grandmothers when we get to see her. They have moved 3 times in the past year and a half and different phone numbers everytime we turn around. I told my g/d mother I will call her mother today to set something up for this coming weekend. I hope to spend sometime with her every weekend between now and Christmas with the hopes we can take her for awhile on Christmas Eve.
I have had a lot of fun this weekend with my oldest g/d. Starting with Friday night. I took her to have her hair done. I had wanted to do it before to have it evened out, but I had to do it this time. The night before during the night she had gotten a hold of the scissors and cut it herself. She has such beautiful hair, and it looked horrible and my d/l sister was going to fix it and she took one look at it and said she didn’t want to touch it. I took her to my hair dresser and they fixed it. It is actually really cute, but short and the bangs are kind of short right now, but that shouldn’t take to long too grow some. I told my son and d/l you better find a new place for those scissors because this is not the first time.
I didn’t do a weigh in this week, I have to buy a new battery for my scales. Hopefully I will remember to do this today.
Hope you all are having a great weekend!
I’m glad that you get to see your granddaughter. I don’t think grandchildren should ever be kept from their grandparents. Grandparents are precious!! It’s good that you are involved in their lives. I got lucky my son never did cut his own hair but I hear from many of my friends that their kids did. LOL!!1 I best she still is adorable. Good luck with your visits!
hey glad to hear you had a great day. You deserve it as it sounds like you have been having rough days again lately. Enjoy those kids. They are only little for a little while.
Those grandkids are lucky to have you in their lives and vice versa.
Have fun!

Sounds like so much fun having Christmas with the grandkids!! I’ve got my sweet baby Talan, but he’s the only one so far!!! LOL!!! I keep pushing my son and his wife HAVE BABIES!!! PLEASE!!
I’ll say this…Talan is definitely spoiled and we love him more then anything. I see the love you have for yours too Bette Jo. I’m really happy you will have time with the granddaughter you don’t see often.
Enjoy the day with your hubby!! I love the weekends!!!
Don’t you just love little ones. I don’t have greandkids yet, but my brother has two girls that are still little. I love to spoil them as much as I can. They are my little angels and make life seem worth living.
I loved the comment about love the son but not the stupid things he’s done. Been there, done that! Thankfully, mine has grown out of his stupidity (knock wood!) finally.
I often joke that my son will knock up some chick in 7th grade and I’ll be a grandpa before I know it. My wife doesn’t think it’s funny, though…
I hope things work out with your granddaughter ! Good Luck ! Kimmi
Been looking for other grandmothers here. I found you. I also have 3 grandchildren. I like your blogs. Maybe we can be buddies, if you like. I’m 60 and live in Minnesota. I need to lose 30 lbs. I think it has to do with menopause cuz I never had a weight problems before. We need to get a tag “menopause.” I know that it adds pounds to a woman and I don’t like it. lol
