The Best Thing About Being A Grandma

While my daughter Erin was recuperating from hand/wrist surgery, she and my granddaughter Shylee came to stay with me for a couple of weeks.  Her husband is in Iraq so she didn't have help at home during her recovery.    Shylee is a typical three year old who throws temper tantrums, her favorite word is "no" , she gets in to everything and she has an infinite amount of energy.  To say she is a handful is an understatement!

One morning as I was waking up I heard what sounded like something heavy fall.  I laid there waiting to hear something else but there was no other sound.  Michael had already left for work, Annie dog was in the room with me and I didn't hear Erin or Shylee.  I didn't want to, but I got up and headed downstairs to find out what fell.  As I reached the bottom of the stairs, Shylee came around the corner startling both of us!  Instead of greeting me she walked past me and went to her time out spot.  Uh oh!  This was not a good sign!

I walked into the kitchen and everything seemed fine.  Then I walked into the dining room and this is what I found.

An empty salt shaker, footprints on the table and carpet and the chandelier over the table was swaying back and forth.  I'm still not sure what the sound was but you know what the best thing about being a grandma is?  Taking Shylee upstairs to her mama and going back to bed!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Silent Sunday

My Annie girl just chillin'!!!

My Most Embarrassing Moment

When my husband was in the army, he was in uniform more often than not.  It wasn't unusual for us to run a quick errand together or meet for lunch.  On this particular day, we went to the local Stars and Stripes book store.  As we walked in, I spotted a friend and went over to talk to her and Michael went on into the store to look around.  After finishing up my conversation, I went looking for Michael and when I spotted him I walked up behind him and pinched his butt!  Imagine my surprise when he turned around and it wasn't Michael!  Oh. My. Gosh.  I turned every shade of red imaginable and I just wanted to die!  I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me.  I stuttered and stammered my apology to this stranger and he laughed and said, "Don't worry about it.  It happens all the time"!  Could it get any worse?

Michael, along with everyone else in this tiny little store, heard the commotion and he came looking for me.  I told him what happened and he was just dying laughing!  I told him I was sorry but everyone looks the same in uniform.  He got very serious and just looked at me and said, "but I'm not in uniform"!  WHAT???  No, no he wasn't!!!  I just died all over again! 

So, you know I have to ask...What was your most embarrassing moment?

Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

I came across this quote a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be good for today.  So I'm keeping it lighthearted and funny instead of serious and thought provoking!

If you want to look young and thin, hang out with old fat people!  ~Anonymous
