It is Saturday morning, our anniversary. I have not heard from my beloved since Thursday! No emails, his phone is not connecting (quite usual for these far flung places but still I worry). I have a tendency to visualise in my head all those dreadful scenarios - he does not understand, but he is kind about my need to always be seeing what could happen. The problem is that I only see the black side, but I suppose that does mean that when things turn out OK it is oh so goooood!!! I do so miss him when he goes away you would think that by now I would be used to it - but it actually gets harder each time.
Sitting here having coffee before the next chore for today has to be done, need to sort out the house before little granddaughter comes to stay - she is at an age where she needs to be entertained, and boy do I like that. Need to make up her bed, and move things out of the spare room that could harm her, do not know why I am doing this 'cause i know she will end up sleeping with me, she always does, we read books and sing songs, she likes the lullabies, especially the german ones. (thats the only German I remember - songs!). I love having her here, reminds me so much of my little girls - who are now such big girls, mind they still come back for hugs which is nice.
Sorry will not be online later this afternoon and tonight - I will be cuddling a lovely little girl, and she will tell me some fairy stories, and be demanding that I put Meg and Mog on the DVD, and if I don't she will look for the remote and do it herself! and not yet two!
Yes i have had a wondeful time with my little granddaughter - she has now gone home to her baby brother, she gets concerned when she has not seen him overnight, but she does not like him crying!!
No terrible twos and if my daughter is as lucky as I was will not happen - we just never had any of the extremes of behaviour that some people have, even the teens where not that bad, that is not to say that they never tried it on, because they did, just no extremes. Only one episode has ever stuck in my mind and that was so to do with circumstances that it was understood for what it was. My eldest was studying for her A levels and my youngest was undergoing chemotherapy, and I was unable to be there for both of them, and the eldest reacted by getting involved with some one who manipulated her, and all hell broke loose for a while, but it settled down, and as you can see we are all the best of "friends" to the extent that she and her little family live only a few doors away!
Any way it is true that these little people wear you out, and I am quite happy to give her back - and how will I cope when both of them are sent down the road to stay with me!! A few months yet!
So glad you enjoyed your grandaughter when they both come you will cope because you have so much love for them. Only one of mine had the terrible twos my youngest son it didn't last long but boy was hard work.
