gone full circle

wow, seems just yesterday when I'd run home from work, get the kitchen cleaned up before starting dinner. The kids were young then and couldn't do it all by themselves. So there was me, home alone, loading the dishwasher, cutting up veggies, and the kids were out playing before dinnertime.
Then I blinked and they were young teens and I stayed later at work. They'd get the kitchen cleaned up once they got home from school and sometimes start dinner or at least start preparing stuff so I could finish up.
I guess I blinked again. I'm home alone and got the kitchen picked up, the dishwasher started, and made the salad, now waiting for them to come home for dinner from their jobs.
I'm afraid to blink.

Oh but Jen....the best is yet to come.
Just wait....till you have a grandchild...then you'll see the better things in life.
Just something about those little arms when they give you hugs....

guess I'm just missing the little arms I had before.
And I am SO not ready to be a grandma. I'm having enough trouble with this soon to be empty nest crap. Didn't think this was going to be so damn hard. You wait and wait and w a i t for them to be big enough to be independent, then BAM they are and you're kinda left going, wait a sec............ they don't need me.

Oh yeah Mattie you're a real redneck
pffffffft!
I cannot wait until you and Mary and Frieda get here! 2 days until Carrie gets here and I'm so excited now - I'm busy organising people and places - I've been waitingfor this since I sniffled my way through that goodbye in Milwaukee. The only one thing I wish was different was that your dad was coming too.. next time eh?!

You cant get more Redneck than Cass County Texas, ask Barbara or Donna.........
I tried to get him to come but ....well he's as stubborn as.......you.
He said he flew for a year and a day in Vietnam, he figured that was enough and he didn't want to push his luck.

Know what you mean Jen.
My eldest got married two weeks ago. She is 24 and so beautiful but she is still just my little baby. It seems so strange to think she is somebody's wife now.
I think she should have babies immediately though. I need baby cuddles........
