If anyone is wondering why I havent been very present here on facebook this week its because my youngest grandbaby is staying while her Mama and Papa get over a severe virus, and holay its not easy taking care of a 3 monh old! Pretty much fulltime job 24/7. Mind you, Im not complaining. Shes a precious angel and one who lives a bit farther away from Grandma so I dont get to see her often enough otherwise. Im just amazed at how I could handle it when I was the Mom. At one point I had all the girls (Shian, Val, Ronee, Sasina, Star & Danielle) and the 3 month old baby boys, one with a breathing monitor/machine I had to carry besides their 2 car carriers and a diaper bag wherever I went. Thank goodness I had the endurance & vitality of youth on my side! But I remember being exhausted all the time too. I give big props to all the young and new Moms out there. Sleep is such a precious treasure, and time to yourself. I guess it is a good sign that I miss quiet and solitude because there was a very long period of my life where I was afraid of quiet and solitude aka being alone with myself and perhaps remembering or feeling things I was running away from. My days being pregnant, giving birth, and raising babies were a priceless gift I will treasure always, but I find that I can really embrace grandmotherhood and being in my 50s just as much now. Im very grateful for the healing and growth that enables me to live in the gratitude and blessings. And without my sobriety I would have none of it. Obviously Baby Girl is napping at the moment, but Im going to sign off to swing on the porch swing with grandson Ace for a bit. It is wonderful to be able to be present with my grandbabies, when I am able to. Have a wonder full day everyone!
