Teachers!
Everyone should have a new level of gratitude for all'y'll.
I know I do.
I'm a stay at home Grandmother, not nearly retired but old enough to. I have my adult daughter moved back home after a nasty break-up with her husband, and she works full time that means one thing! I don't have time for proper grammar or punctuation - the monsters in my house will be awake soon. I have to hurry.
I shouldn't complain right? I mean there are grandmothers out there that don't have any grandchildren..... Come and get mine.
I never thought for a second that being a grandmother a stay at home grandmother during a pandemic would inflict this amount of (no words).
I know people are dying threw this pandemic and I should be grateful that I:
I have grandchildren around me
My business has no business
My couch is worn out
My husband has a memory problem
I gained 18 pounds
I'm potty training one kid
I'm trying to get another one to stay away from tv
And the oldest, what can i say she has her own phone
3, holly fuck I didn't sign up for this
I raised my children
I'm not a teacher
I swear way too much to have kids around me full time
I drink, yup I have a hang over right now.
By the way, this is the first time I've had a hangover, now i know what it is.
Seriously!
I need this pandemic to come to an end.
I have a new respect for teachers, I think I said that already, maybe I'm not hungover but still drunk from last night!
Yes I worry! I was teaching the kids how to fart the day before yesterday. Not exactly, but you know what I mean? They just let wind fly like it is something they are proud of. So I taught them how to fart, without anyone hearing and they don't even need to use their manners when you fart without anyone hearing you, what could be better than not having to excuse yourself?
I have a need to bead.
Yes, I just changed the subject.
Holly fuck here comes one now.
Quick, sit still, close your eyes, don't move.
Rory: Grandma!
Rory: Grandma, I'm awake now, moms gone to werk.
Rory: Grandma, are you sweeping? Y'r ewes are crowesed,
Rory: Grandma, I'm awake now, moms gone to werk.
Rory: Grandma, are you sweeping? Y'r ewes are crowesed,
Rory: I'm 5, did you know that grandma?
Grandma: Yes, I knew that....
Rory: Ha ha ha I twikted you I'm 6
Hazel: I dont talk, give me everything I want or I'l hold you at my highest screaming pitch possible.
Grandma: Grandpa can I drink and wear ear plugs and watch kids?
Ana: my dear sweet Ana, some day when you are all grown up and married I'm still going to be alive and I"m going to move in with you. I'm going to leave my clothes all over the floor, eat in bed, leave my dishes in my room, talk to my friends on my phone all day, tell you I don't like meat or what you are cooking, suggest that some restaurants are still open at this hour, stamp my feet and drag them down the hall, tell you "I can't clean my room it's too much work" I'll ask for a treat in front of your kids so I have them all yelling, I'll fart when the feeling is there, I'm going to lean back on your dining room chairs, and yell at your kids.

This is the last thing I made, made with ghost beads, Ghost Beads are a Navajo tradition to bead with for protection. This is a custom order that I made for a little stinker.
Before I go, I'd like to leave you with this
Do you like my glasses? I said to the youngest grandchild in my view,
Grandchild: " no"
Me: why not?
Grandchild: "bracuze ver scawy"
Me: "I'll take them off then, they don't work anyway"
I need for this to be over soon - we all need our lives to be less stressful.

Hey grandma....all us baby boomers are too old to have 3 kids full time, even if only 3 days a week. They all bring happiness, for a little bit when they come in the door and as we are getting them dressed to go.
Stressed out grumpa...like my grandson says
I have 2 reactions to this Grandma: you made me laugh (and feel grateful that I'm grandmother age with no grandkids to live with me) and it made me want to put my arms around you and tell you that things are gonna get better. (don't know when)
But keep on bloggin'. I don't know if it helps you but it sure helps me. Thanks!
