Ahhh,so tired! I really need a break or change or something!!! Money would be soooo good!!! That would solve some things,and make others seem to go away! I hear the well off have problems too...but they just don't notice them! LOL!!! Anyhoooo,I did have a wonderful weekend. I had my two daughters come and stay over ! Yippy!!! And my son and his wife stopped in during the evening and my eldest son came for supper last night and we had a great visit! I love to see them catch up with each other,they were surprised to see each other here so it was neat! They always have been close but things are different now. Now they really are so glad to see each other and know what fortune is to run into each other and be able to talk and laugh together. They all lead such busy lives and the time to be together is seen as being so very valuable now. Funny and also scary that the older you get the more value time has. As a child time has no meaning or very little. It's this thing that parents force on you...time to eat,time to go to bed. As you enter school time has to be managed. Teens loose time easily and as young adults with family and jobs there is never enough time. You start to look forward to having time when your family is grown...but then can you enjoy that time??? I fear the time when you have time but nothing to fill it with. That to me would be a horror. Geee,I think that's why this last year has been hard..I was forced into all that down time and couldn't move...such wasted time. Well the time watching my kids was wonderful this weekend. I sit like a little puppy watching them. My ears pick up at mention of new stuff I know nothing about. Heeee,heee,what a thought!!! Good thing I was patient in teaching them because now they return the favour and patienly tell me what I ask. Ohhhh..how the tables have turned!! LOL!! I love what they bring into this house. I treasure it so much! They bring love and life unfolding and fears and confidence and fun. Thay care so much how the other is doing and they respect each other so much. I am truely blessed to have these people so fun of life in my life. They brighten it so. I feel for the challenges they face and I admire how they conduct themselves. So this is a great time in ones life. Just I miss them when they are gone.

Ah Marg, you may be cash poor but you are people rich! Your kids enjoy spending time with you, now they are all grown up! And soon you will have a little-un to dote over and your time will be full of thoughts about him or her. Perhaps do some writing for him or her - poems, stories, thoughts on nature. What ever you write will be a treasure for your grandchild because YOU wrote it especially for him/her! And of course coz you're gifted in that area! Perhaps they'll be inspired and grow up to be a modern Mark Twain or something?

What are you going to be - Gran/Nan/Grandma Marg? Are you allowed to choose?

Re: Monday

yes, Grandma's good. We had ours pretty much chosen for us coz SIL beat us to the kiddies thing, and chose Grandma & Grandad for both of hers (G&G Up North & G&G Round the Corner), leaving me with Granny and Grandpa for my parents. Then MIL says "Oh I would have loved to have been a Granny!" and my brother called my parents Grandma and Grandad" for his son. So you just cant win!!!

Anyway, here's a smile for you. She got tooth no.4 today - middle bottom, tho you cant see it here. She's awake, Im off!

Re: Monday
I think we're quite alike Marg
I can see you now quietly watching your family all chatting together with a big smile of satisfaction on your face, that would be me too. When my daughter comes to visit I love watching her interact with the boys, the pleasure they get from her visit and her wanting to do things with them.
Today I was over at my Mums and my daughter rang me for a chat, nothing important just a "checking in" kind of call but my Mum said for ages after I kept picking up my phone and saying "Oh I love my daughter" Just a phone call from her and the world is all balanced again !!!!
In some ways I dread the days when they all have their own lives and families but in other ways I look forward to the days where I too can watch all my children and grandchildren enjoying family time together
I ADORE your blogs

Re: Monday
Yup,you do know what I mean! It is so bitter sweet that they leave,they're suppose to and you do raise them for that but you really just have to settle for them coming back...thank heavens they do or I'd be tumbing rides out on the 401...Haaaa,haaa wouldn't that be a sight??? But you're so right,the times together are so sweet,lovely to have that ,it is a gift to treasure!

Hi Sweety!!! I know what your money looks like!!! It's plastic! I found out all that neat stuff from a question in one group,so neat all the info the clever Ladies supplied. I have no family up stream either,all gone but I did want a family!  I must say I am delighted that they are all close and the way you raise your guys I think you'll have that too. Yes Kellzacar,family and good friends are worth so much more than any material riches....however...paying bills would be good. LOL!!!

Re: Monday

that was beautifully written,in fact its probably the besst blog i have read.as for money i don't have much now but when i first met my wife we didn't have any at all we lived in a bedsit (evertyhing in one room) and i used go to my mums for bread and milk but it was without doubt the happiest time of my life,i wanted the material things but it didn't matter if i didn't get them i had everything i needed right there.

enjoy your week,have a hug from me,they are free

Hi jp73,nice to meet you fellow Minti blog reader,yes,yes,this weekend we supplied for some kiddies,heee,hee really rather have tons of money to help them out ,not into "stuff" myself and neither really are my kiddies. But here in Canada young people that seek higher education come out of school with huge debt loads if their parents aren't rich and we weren't and still are not...in money anyway!!!
