Tonight I am watching four of my grandkids. Giving the parents a break where they can go to a concert. I never got to do that when I had young kids. I know it's a real treat but I hope they don't get used too it. I don't mind every now and then though.
Some of my grandkids I wasn't around much because they lived in different towns. I just didn't get to know them as well. I don't think that was my fault. It was really nobody's fault. People get busy and don't realize until it's too late. Never too late though really. Not until your gone.
Jana's kids I know the best. They live a few blocks from me. I see them almost every day. I was there when they were born. I watch them when she has stuff she has to do. I don't mind.
School will soon be starting. Then I won't be able to see them as often. Several of my grandkids are off to college this year. Jana will be going to college too. Everyone will be busy. I am going to try and be busy too. I got a course in writing I am trying to finish. Just three more 3,000 word articles too do. Maybe I will be improved then. If I could just learn when to put their or there. I have always had a problem using those words.
Tonight I brought a bunch of books to read while the kids are watching TV, playing computer games and Kaylee is playing with her dolls. Everyone is doing his or her own thing. We are all comfortable doing what we are doing.
Good thing I had seven kids because it really doesn't bother me watching kids. Something I have always done. I know some ladies that can't handle watching kids. It has never bothered me. Sometimes though I need my own time to do what I want too. But usually I have that time too. Plenty of time for everything. I am content and happy with my life.
