| To be 21 again! |
Amanda is turning 21 tomorrow. Shewww! I can not believe that 21 years ago tomorrow I was 17 and about to embark on the biggest challenge I would ever face. Raising a beautiful blonde hair blue eyed daughter all on my own!
Well, here we both are fully intact. I didn't kill her and she didn't kill me. Although there were many times that I wasn't sure I could do it I looked into her eyes, knew she needed me and I pulled through and accomplished what I thought I couldn't. What I didn't know then ,was that I needed her as much as she needed me. We grew up together.
We may not always see eye to eye. We have not always agreed on clothing, hairstyles, money matters, her boyfriends, her friends, political issues and many other things. We make each other laugh, make each other cry! When one hurts the other hurts! We look and act way too much :) But no matter what we can both agree on one thing-We make one heck of a team!
Miss Mandy,
Happy Birthday Darling! You have grown into such a remarkable young lady! You are a wonderful Mommy! I am so proud of you! I love you ! Happy 21st Birthday!Labels: birthday, daughters |

| Back to reality |
This is my second week back to work after having six weeks off. Shewww! I must admit I got way to used to being home, doing what I pleased when I pleased and taking afternoon naps if I chose to.
The last two weeks have been hectic. Shyanne had volleyball every Tuesday, NAWS (Northland Animal Welfare Society) meeting every Wednesday night, more on them to come at a later date, orchestra concert last Thursday, always something. I keep asking myself, how did my life become so busy and hectic? Would I change it? I seriously doubt that I would change a thing even if I could. After all, great job, wonderful girls, good husband, Yes, I only said good, beautiful grandsons, why would I change a thing?
I just know that I really enjoyed my time off work. I still got up by 7 every morning, stayed up way past 10 every night , got dressed and cleaned up whenever I darn well felt like it and was absolutely in no hurry to go or do anything. Life was grand, my own pace. I spent time with Amanda and the boys, shopped, watched my soaps, got caught up on a lot of NAWS work, I even cooked dinner a few nights instead of Shawn. I squeezed in a little time to tan, because brown fat is prettier than white fat, and still had time to take a little cat nap.
I just need to know how to be a stay at home Mom, who's only child left in at home is a teenager, and make the money I do when I work. Any suggestions? Labels: life, money, work |

| Now I have 2 |
I am really going to try and start writing daily. Well, at least during the week. I now have my second grandson, Alex. I feel bad about this though! I love both the Aidan and Alex more than I could ever explain. Why feel bad you ask? I fell bad because I feel as if I have not given Alex enough of my attention. Like I have not loved, hugged, cuddled and kissed him like I did Aidan when he was a newborn.
Aidan is at that fun age, toddler, into everything, awnry as it gets, climbs anything and everything. Alex, newborn, sleeps, eats, poo's and sleeps some more. I have rarely held Alex. No, not because I don't want to! I have not held him much because whenever I am around Alex then Aidan is there also. Aidan keeps me busy just trying to keep up with him.
I think maybe I need to keep Alex so his Mommy and Daddy can have time with Aidan only. That will also give me time with just Alex. That's it! That is what I will do.

| Happy Halloween!! |
Yeah, today is finally the day! The day all the ghost and goblins come out! I love Halloween.
I don't dress up in costume but I still love it. This year I just bought a orange shirt that says "Boo" all over it in black and of course what would Halloween be with out Halloween socks?
Aidan will be a purple dinosaur ( NO! Not Barney!) and Shyanne will be a Fairy!
The ghost, goblins, princesses, bears, kitties and all start coming to our house early. Usually we start getting our little trick or treaters by 5:30-6:00. Therefore, I sure hope I get out of work a little early!
Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

| Hurting heart!! |
So, I always get on here thinking that I will write about something other than, Shyanne, Aidan or Amanda and then it never happens. Sorry kids, I love you to pieces but today is about someone I don't even know.
I have been reading other blogs a lot lately. I have stumbled upon a blog written by another mother whom my heart aches for. My heart hurts so much for her! Let me explain-- She is a mother to 2 little girls who like most mothers, the girls are her life! She seems to have it all. She is a teacher, has a husband that seems to support her in all decisions she makes and she has 2 beautiful girls. And yes-I have seen their pictures, they are beautiful, happy, spirited girls (like mine). Then one day her life is turned upside down. I mean her whole world changed in the blink of an eye. A freak accident happens and one of her daughters drowns. I can not even begin imagine her pain! I can't imagine her thoughts! I can't imagine her fears! I can't imagine any of it ! I can't imagine -I just can't imagine!
This mother was blogging before any of this nightmare happened. Now I think her blog is also a relief for her. She is able to post her thoughts, her feelings, her fears, all of her emotions. She is so remarkably strong. Reading her blog makes me realize that I am inspired so much by her. She is honest with her feelings. I can't wait to read all of her new post daily. She is a wonderful blogger and a wonderful mother! I thank her for sharing all of her emotions with me. If you have chance check her out . I promise you won;t be disappointed. She is so real, so true, and a very good writer. Rachd-THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Here is her link: http://hannahandlily.blogspot.com |

| Nothing much to report |
I know I really need to blog more. However, I just can't seem to think of a good topic for me to blog about other than my little man Aidan and the girls, Shyanne and Amanda. So , I guess I will start there. Aidan is of course growing like a weed. He has discovered that he can crawl and seems to be all over the place. I guess Nana will have to be on her toes when he is over. Amanda is doing fine. She sure doesn't seem to be near as sick to her stomach this pregnancy. Maybe that means that Nana will get her one in "Pink". Shyanne, well Shyanne has kind of boggled me lately. She is usually so sweet. Here lately I have seen her horns holding up her halo. She seems to be rolling in to those dreaded teenage years quiet fine. I have notices that she is beginning to back talk and tell me what she will or will not do. OH NO! I am going to put an end to this before it gets a hold of all of us. I will not have another smart mouth girl in my home. I am the only one allowed to be a smart mouth and I have worked 38 years to deserve that title.
Other than that all seems to be well. Shyanne is in volleyball so every week seems to be filled with volleyball practice and games. Add a few nights if your regular household duties and it becomes a full week. Shawn, he is fine. Working a lot of overtime. I guess that is a good thing though. Not much to tell you other than that. I have put a new picture of my little man. He is such a happy baby!  Not really sure why he had a hat on but I still thought it was all too cute. |

| Nana times 2 |
In case some of you don't know, I am a 38 year old Grandma ( Nana) to a handsome grandson named Aidan. Yep, that's right. 38 and a Nana. I should have done the math on that one myself. Of course having a child at a young age meant I could be a young Nana.
Aidan will be one in December. He is my pride and joy. I love spending time with him. He makes me smile, giggle and even makes me feel young. Now I am going to have to share the love I have for him with a new grand baby. My daughter is going to have baby number 2. This means Aidan and his brother or sister will only be 16 months apart. I have to admit my daughter has more nerve than I do. That's why her and her sister were 8 years apart. I am really hoping that this one comes in pink. It will be fun to watch the differences in the new baby and Aidan. Will the new baby be as good of an eater, sleeper or as big as Aidan was when he was born ( 9# 2Ounces)? Will the new baby be happy? Will he or she never cry like Aidan? Both of my girls were as different as night and day so I have to wonder if these 2 will be also.
I never knew I would enjoy being a Nana as much as I do! I am so lucky to be young enough that I can play, run, and hopefully will be able to see them graduate and get married! Lucky me! |
