Well I did it. I have apparently reached Grandmother hood...(If thats a word?) A WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR AGO, we were at a McDonalds. I had a doctor appointment in Rapid City and arrived 1 1/2 hours early. So I took Weylon and OakLeigh to McDonalds to play and waste time. Keep in mind I was a whole year younger then. OakLeigh was only like barely 1 years old. Weylon was only 3. Anyways, a woman told me that she liked to bring her grandkids to play too. I looked at her wierd. Didn't respond...Didn't quite know what to say. Then she asks how old my grandchildren were. OK LADY get ready to rumble you fruitcake. I was only 34 years old then. I didnt have ANY gray hairs at all. I was doing good with my eating. Started exercising good. Felt really good about the way I was feeling...then big mouth marge calls me a granny. I am going to be a great Granny someday, but come on, I don't want that label when my oldest was only 6 years old....well I got over it. Then today at wally world I had 5 kids with me. I was in a hurry. They were all screaming and being loud. Go to the first cashier I have ever seen there without a line. (I should have wasted my time in line with the 2 nice NORMAL ladies that work there....) anyways, she (blind and insane cashier) tells me that I have the cutest grandkids. AAAAGH Are you SERIOUSLY KIDDING ME LADY? I had had it anyways, because who else is stupid enough to take 5 children to walmart with them when they are in a hurry? All ranging from age 4,4,3,2,1....Grandmas are awesome, but they have done it all, and they are not insane enough to bring ALL THE GRANDKIDS to the store at once...so should have been this morons first hint that I was the MOTHER (well mother to 2 of them anyways). I honestly shouldnt let stupid comments bother me. But this one stung really bad. First of all, I am (basically) 5 months pregnant. I am SHOWING. I only have like 3 gray hairs. I dont feel like I am that wrinkley and stooped over YET. So apparently I looked like an OVERWEIGHT INSANE granny to this woman. And yes I let it get to me. Got the kids buckled and cried the whole way home. Sheesh, why do I let these kind of comments bother me? There is actually a kid I went to school with that is a grandparent right now. I AM getting old. I AM half of 70...which if you think of it that way, then I could technically be a grandmother...but it hurts cause when I hear grandma, I think of MY GRANDMOTHERS. Granny is 85 years old. Grandma is 94 years old. They have EARNED the right to be called a grandma. They deserve to be called Grandma. They are wonderful grandmothers. They have a wonderful legacy they have lived for us to all follow and learn from! I however, have a 7 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old and soon to be newborn. I don't appreciate being labeled a grandmother yet. So please, use some common sense from now on people. If you are brainless and clueless, then put that bandaid over that cut under your nose each and every morning so you don't risk the possibility of ruining someone's day!
On another note, there is only 3 weeks until Christmas! WOOHOO!!! So only 20 more days till mom and dad are here! Thats exciting news...we hopefully get to do our Christmas shopping really soon! The snow is falling today. I get to go on a date tonight with my sweet hubby. I can feel my little baby kicking and moving ALL DAY! We (may or may not) find out what the sex of this baby is in 2 weeks! We have almost all the puppies ready to go to their new homes. We all seem to be healthy! Life for the most part is great! Except for the random insane woman at walmart who brought me to grandmotherhood!
