Congratulations! happyface I love being a grandma lovethis

Thank you! I am WAY too young to be a gma (because I had my dd way to young,not because she is) Not sure what I think about it yet, just letting it sit a while as we still have 7 months or so until dgb is here

Only one kiddo today...so sitting here with a load of laundry to fold, reading about Mother Earth News Fair we are going to soon, and now looking forward to watching Midwives on Netflix tonight!

I've never heard of Midwives before but it sounds interesting! I might have to put it on my ever-growing list of things to watch!

I just had a late night snack... PB&J, yum... And am about to head to bed. So excited that tomorrow is Friday, as it's been a very long and tiring week. I've been running on about 5 hours of sleep each night and I am no good when I get less than 7! I'm hoping for a restful weekend for all!

:hug::hug: about the dr visit, I sure know how the bad ones are!!!

And I'd be excited about the caterpillars too!!

We moved here last November. I grew up a mile from here. My dad lives a mile from here also. This house is in the middle of the woods. As we're our other houses. Well, this summer, our first one here, we started finding HUNDREDS of these weird grasshopper things. Hundreds and thousands of them. They were at first teeny tiny black grasshoppers with an orange stripe. We started googling and apparently they are called eastern lubber grasshoppers, indigenous to is area. Myself, my husband, and my dad etc had NEVER seen them before. We even asked older locals. They had never seen them either!!

Well, after their FIFTH molt, they turn into HUGE HUGE weird looking grasshoppers with wings. They get so big they can barely hop!!

Look them up sometime they are AMAZING!!

It's a good thing our garden is at e family land where these dont live because they eat a garden in days.

But it's weird nobody around here has never seen em before.

I LUUUURVE Call the Midwives. I love lots of BBC programming actually. We don't have tv so we download everything we watch and it's expanded our awareness of international programing. Australia also has great programming that we never see here.

I am finishing up some dishes. 1 1/2 yr old is playing in playroom and her almost 4 yo brother is asleep on a cot in there. They got here at 6am little miss slept for a little over an hour. I will be waking brother in a bit if she doesn't!
Weekend plans- I have 8 hours of training tomorrow... hopefully, it is really good because I have this every month for like the next 6 months! It is on literacy. I am just hoping it gives me real, hands on inspiration and not "you should read to your kids in expressive voices". Yup, I have been to a training like that recently.

Thank you! I am WAY too young to be a gma (because I had my dd way to young,not because she is) Not sure what I think about it yet, just letting it sit a while as we still have 7 months or so until dgb is here

My mom was a grandma at 35 (she was 18, my sister was 17) and all I think is I have just over a year until I am 35 and there is no way on this green earth that I would want to be a g-ma yet-altho, my kiddos are only 9 & 12 so there would be some major problems there. My mom said the best thing about being a g-ma so young, is having energy to do things with them and being able to hold, rock, carry without paying for it in pain the next day. You'll be great and love every minute I'm sure. Congrats!

I made my mom a gma at 38. She loves being young enough to really enjoy doing things with the girls!

I think I just talked myself and DH into getting a dog this weekend! ::happyface We'll ahve to see...I emailed the shelter with a couple questions but I am in LOVE lovethislovethislovethis! She needs a home and I need a doggy.

I'm happy to find so many other people who watch Call the Midwives! And got my MP and P&F references! :: and AcornMama--last night my sisters came over and we watched Doctor Who like we do every week.

Biggest geek in the 'Verse!

Now I need to start watching Call the Midwives. It would probably be a nice balancing factor to all the Doctor Who around here.

And then late last night dh found War Games on Amazon Prime, so I fell asleep to an 80's geekiness flashback.

I kept a journal while pregnant and the first couple of months after birth, but not as detailed as I had wanted. It was a really scary pregnancy and she has liver/lung issues. I became so overwhelmed that I just quit journaling. I know in my head that it's never too late to start (she's 5 now), but as a perfectionist, I feel like I've already ruined it, so why bother.
I take tons of pictures, as in many per day, so that is a good way of remembering special times. However, the pictures are not in albums or scrapbooked. Again, I know it's not too late to start, but I just feel like I've already failed and I'm so far behind.
My original plan was to have a scrap-journal. I didn't plan to do all the fancy ribbons and layouts, just pictures with journaling and a few pretties here and there. I feel like I have really failed her in this.
Thanks for letting me vent about this.
