Good
morning world how is everyone on this lovely Tuesday morning, well it
is Tuesday morning in my part of the world but not in other parts
this I know because I am wise and knowledgeable, ok I'm not either
but it sounded good didn't it.
At
the moment I have both Blain & Leo here playing down the hallway
and in about an hour I will have Sydney-May and Summer joining them
so a full house for me today.
Jessica
came over as Leo was annoying the hell out of her so she brought him
here, it was just lucky that Blain was here and that later the girls
will be here. Although Blain and Leo have a habit of fighting after
they have been together for a while but at the moment it's all good.
Tim
is off till just after lunch when he leaves he is doing afternoon
work all this week, I will be having the girls while Kathy-Lee is at
work for a couple of hours so sometime just after lunch all should
leave and I will have a quiet house for a while, hopefully.
Oh
you know what I saw in the stores, well one store last Friday
Christmas stuff that is what and even though I liked them and
wouldn't mind some of what I saw I thought it is still only
September, I checked the prices of the stuff and most of the things
were under $20 now if they stuff was expensive I could get having
them out earlier so that people could layby them and pay them off but
that wasn't the case. Usually we see Christmas stuff in the stores
from October and yes I know last week was close to October but still
it was September just saying.
I
was speaking to mum last night and yes I know I talk to her every
night for something like 20 minutes and yesterday it was the third
time I talked to her during the day but not the point. She was saying
how dad gets annoyed with her when she wants to go to be at 8.30 at
night but when mum says she is heading off to bed that doesn't mean
getting up and going straight to bed. She has to make sure the
dishwasher is packed and put on and she likes to clean the kitchen as
well as doing a few other things it usually takes about half and hour
from the time she says she is going to bed till the times she gets
into bed.
Anyway
mum said she told dad that she thinks she does pretty good for a 74yr
old woman, she is up usually between 6-6.30am every day sometimes
earlier she is watching young children every day and drives
grandchildren to daycare and school two, three or four days a week.
She takes care of dad and is the one who does most of the housework
so if she is feeling done in by 8.30pm she should be able to go to
bed without anyone complaining that it is too early.
Dad
usually says up till around 11pm but he also doesn't get up till mum
wakes him with his breakfast ready for him around 9am, three hours
after mum has been up and busy.
You
know if mum was to lose dad I think she would cope pretty well after
a bit but if dad was to lose mum I think he would fall apart and find
it harder to go one without her there.
Even
though both my parents are in their 70's I find it hard to see them
as elderly, more mum than dad she is so busy and full of life,
honestly at times I think mum has more energy and get up and go than
me and I am 22yrs younger than me.
Jessica
just had me go and get Macca's for breakfast for everyone cost $33
but not bad when you consider that was breakfast for 3 adults and 4
children.
Yes
the girls are here now I have been writing this for close to 1 ½
hours but I am at last finished and will now post.
I think most men would have a harder time if they lost their wives than widows have. Women know how to do such a wide variety of things around the house. You are such a good grandma, having a houseful of children.

Yes I agree, Tim usually says that he thinks would not cope if he dies first but I think he is wrong
