Empty Nest: Sleepover at Grandma's

Sleepover at Grandma's

Some weekends are routine. Some are filled with busy-ness. Some are spent alone and some are spent with friends and family. Some are quiet and some are loud. Mine are spent in front of the television during football season because it's football season and I love all football- college and NFL. But this weekend was even better than that.

I spent my weekend with this little nugget. It was part of my gift to her mommy whose birthday was Saturday. That's right, she had the birthday, I got the gift.

And my goodness but she was busy. How many tissues does it take to wipe the nose on a 15-month-old? An entire box. Can Y'all hear her say, "Thank you!"?

And cute. She's just the cutest.

And busy. I mean she never stopped except for bed.

She read to me. Yes, I understood every word. Grandma's can do that.

Even when the book was upside down. The talent this kid possesses!

We had loads of laughs.

Because this kid is full of silliness.

And that was my weekend!

LOVE your post! My granddaughter (age 6) spent this past weekend with us, too, while her parents enjoyed an anniversary get-away. I definitely understand the nonstop action! One day we barely left the house, but I got 10,000+ steps on my FitBit. Aren't we lucky to have sweet little girls to enjoy?

She is so adorable. What a fun weekend. Of course, you can understand her. That's what grandmas do.

Reading a book upside down - great talent and a cute one too.
My weekend - one word rain - parts (not ours thankfully) were flooded

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
