Xmas and Grandkids
Xmas is on the way once again and grandparents are in high demand. I should know as today I have had my my first long session of caring for the grand kids.
Three of them, and stopping overnight as mom and dad are at a Xmas dinner dance.
I have done my share of reading stories and trying to keep them amused, but this is only the start of the runup to Xmas. More days and nights to come, but the one I am dreading is when one of my other young grandsons comes to stay for Xmas. I will then have four of them for an allnight session and as they don’t see him very often it is like mayhem when they are together.
Apart from being together they have the excitement of Xmas to look forward to so I think I will buy some earplugs for that night. Craig lives in Wales but comes to us every school holiday including Xmas, so I still have the joy of putting up Xmas decorations and shopping for loads of presents.
It is a bit more difficult this year as I suffer with my back and at the moment I can barely walk, but my son who lives with me is a great help, so he will do all the difficult tasks. I just hope I am fit enough to cook Xmas dinner but we’ll manage somehow.
