Work: I don't much like my job and look forward to some sort of change. I will probably stay at wwps for next year as I sort out how to take an adjacent road. Retirement to play with grandkids and do what I want to do When I want to do it sounds better all the time.
Home: I've decided to get my preschool stuff out of my 2nd bedroom as I hate the mess, but love the convenience. I need the space for baby Oliver and guests! I'm looking forward to a little gardening as the weather is warming and spring is arriving. I'm getting used to having more sunshine and less wetness, even though this is the 'wet' time of year.
Grandma doings: Baby Oliver is getting big and growing cuter every day! He now recognizes me and gives me a big grin and 'coo' -'gurgle' when I say hi. I can't love that little boy enough! C&E's house is finished and they are enjoying it!
Baby Ella was born on Leap Day, Feb 29, so I know God has something very, very special in mind for her! Just this last week she caught the flu her parents had and was put in the hospital for 2 days for dehydration, etc. Scared me, oh, how it scared me! She is home and doing better, but C&A are very exhausted. C,O, and I are going there for spring break very soon and look forward to helping out.
I'd add picture of little Ella, but you can see her on their blog....I haven't downloaded any yet, but just wait till I get back from their house!
I'm so proud of my grown up kids, for, well, growing up and taking responsibilities that seem so hard that they don't have the strength or endurance for them. A word often found in the Bible is that God will s-u-s-t-a-i-n us and make us thrive. He loves us even when we forget, discard Him. (I need to remember this, too!)
Health: I can't complain really. Got my eyes tested recently and they are determining whether or not I have glaucoma or something else. I can't seem to get used to my new glasses and blame it on being ill fitted and another brand of progressive lenses that I'm not used to. I'm still overweight and hate myself for that, but can't seem to keep food away from my mouth....and off the hips. My exercise program has gone by the wayside. I need to get back on a good program again. It's not that I don't know what to do and how to do it. I just don't have the motivation, I guess.
Friends: I'm so thankful I have them that find something redeeming in continuing our relationships. I love you all.
