Here's a good place to announce this..... I'm going to be a GRAMMA ! G and J are expecting in Febuary. There are a lot of mixed feelings swirling thru my head as I type this. I am happy and excited for them. They are engaged to be married in June 2009. Both are hard workers and great with children. I suppose my hesitation comes from the fact that ......
#1: I must be old. Yes, this is my eldest child, but I still have a four year old at home. I'd love to have more babies myself. I've always felt, even after #5 was born, well whats one more??? I LOVED being pregnant. Had easy pregnancies/ deliveries/ etc.... But surgically it ain't possible.
#2: The apple doesn't fall far from the proverbial tree. I was 20 when G was born. I know she'll be a great mom, but part of me wants a different life for her. Some "grown-up" time before starting a family.

Mini updates: school has started and is going well. so far so good M LOVES her teacher and hasn't wanted to drop out yet. Mind you she is the 4th grader. E has moved into the BIG room at preschool. I am in the younger room; three year olds are lots of fun and the bonus is NO diapers to change. (potty accidents??, well....) Cross country going well for D, hockey starting soon too. And Big E has a job!! A real honest to goodness paying real money job at the ice cream shop/garden store down the street from us. (bonus there: she can walk to work!)

Okay my concentration is failing me. We are going on a secret journey tomorrow, to Darien Lake. $24.99 a carload! If you never hear from me again, my heart has stopped after going on the Superman roller coaster. You know that sign at the beginning of the rides... "heart problems, surgeries, concussions- do not ride this ride"..... is there a line about No Grammaws allowed?
aaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
