WHAT NOISE?!?
So we took Adrianna to see the fireworks. Adrianna loves watching them. However, she's not a big fan of the noise. Now anyone who knows her, knows that she is loud. Not a little loud...VERY loud! There is no doubt that she's around when you're anywhere within, oh I don't know, maybe the length of a football field. Anyway last year at the fireworks she covered her ears the entire time. This year was no different, in fact she covered her ears when it just started getting dark, anticipating the upcoming noise. But there was one thing she did this year that she did not do last year...she fell asleep. Yes, during all the obnoxious bangs and booms she just closed her eyes and went to sleep with her hands over her ears the whole time. When her Mom woke her up so she wouldn't miss the fireworks she simply replied...I'm not sleeping I'm just closing my eyes. No sorry little girl...you were fast asleep! How in the world does a child sleep through that?? I can sleep through just about anything...but even I couldn't have slept through this. Where we went had what seemed like a grand finale from beginning to end, it was just nonstop. But there she was....sleeping like a little angel. Then it was over and guess who wasn't sleeping anymore?

FIRST A MOMMY...NOW A GRANDMA!!
Thanks to my daughter I've finally decided this would be a good idea. I love talking about my kids and my grandkids so now I get to do it more! Fun times!!
I guess I should start by saying I have 3 daughters, 1 son, 2 granddaughters (both 3), 2 grandsons (1 is 3 the other is 14) and very happy to say 2 more grandchildren on the way!! YAY!! Because there's absolutely no such things as too many grandkids!
Today I'll talk about how much fun it is to watch my daughters, as first time Mommies. It's amazing to watch. They're all so loving, caring and natural at it. They come to me for advice when they need it, comfort when they need reassurance that "No, you're not a bad mother because you don't play with your kid every second of the day" or "Yes, it's perfectly normal that you don't always like your kid when he or she is acting like a complete asshole". Yes I said kids act like assholes sometimes. Can anyone tell me I'm wrong?? I doubt it. But we wouldn't change them for anything in the world! I laugh when I see them battling with 3 year olds...I said No! Don't eat that! Get back in bed, now!! Stop yelling, stop crying and so on so on. And that's where my Grandma rights come into play. I get to enjoy watching them get frustrated, aggravated and reach their wits ends...because now I can sit back and not have to do it...I did my time now it's their turn to enjoy the "joys of motherhood". Yes I do laugh at them, maybe that's a little sadistic but it's fun as hell!!! In reality when I laugh I think it takes some of the pressure off the situation, at least that what I'd like to believe. But they know when they need real advice or help I will always be there for them. But I try really hard to limit my advice to when I'm asked, they are very capable and don't need a Mom who is going to tell them how to raise their kids.
I have what I hope will be some interesting stuff to write that people will enjoy reading, but I guess that remains to be seen. Great kids, great Grandkids and the oddest ex-husband (ewwwww I hate even using the word husband in any text when I'm referring to him) but the ones with him are the ones that will definitely leave you shaking your head and hopefully being able to laugh at his utter stupidity! Be back soon! :)
