I went to the high school yesterday and paid the fees so my baby could start high school. This is kind of a strange feeling. Lots of things are strange now. Being called grandma, I hope to someday get used to that but right now I still wonder how such a youngster could be a grandma. I guess it is good I don’t feel old, but I really don’t know how old I am. I look at people and wonder if they are my age, I just can’t figure it out anymore.
Now actually being a grandma is amazing. Seeing the cute little faces, holding little bodies, and sitting next to a little grandson while he watches “2 cars.” Nothing is better.
Then there is home life this summer. It has been as if I was dropped into a boys dorm and asked to share a room with a bunch of guys. For most of the summer I tried to be the good “mom” figure and clean up after everyone. Lately I’ve given up and decided that the roommate mentality might be a little more agreeable ( until the mess drives me crazy, then it is usually back to mom) It is fun having the boys around and they have been quite helpful just not really neat.
Okay I think I’ve rambled all around the world with this post, but I guess that is just what’s on my mind. Oh and one last random thought. I was watching Dick Van Dyke yesterday ( that is my new workout show) Laura and bleached her hair to be more interesting to her husband, decided that it was a bad idea and gone back brown. The last scene little Richie was talking to his dad and said something like mommy was prettier with yellow hair but that he wanted mommy to look like mommy. It made my day to think that looking like mommy or grandma or whoever I am is just what is best.
