Grandchildren!

Posted

This past week, I’ve been watching my 4 grandkids.  It’s been one heck of a week!  Lots of cooking, which I love.

Of course, I had to make my meatballs and artesian bread amongst many other things.  Breakfasts, lunches, snacks, dinners. It’s a never-ending food fest.  Then there were the drop offs and pick-ups.  Dance, play rehearsals and Lacrosse.  All in different places, stretching from Stonington, CT to Hope and Westerly. I’m doing this for 8 days.  As of day 5 I have put 672 miles on my car.  Each day after they got on their respective buses, I had to go to my home in Warwick.  Then there were the illnesses.  Two were home from school, one day one walk-in clinic visit, and two pharmacy visits.  I’m exhausted.

 Four children, all very different.  A 9-year-old girl Sidney, very spunky and funny.  Two 12-year-old girls, Savannah, and Keira.  Savvy is very introspective, and Keira is all about fashion.  Cooper is a 15 yar old male.  I only see him when he’s hungry or wants to show me some weird reptile or bird he’s discovered in the yard.  Between them they have 1 cat, 2 birds, 1 turtle, 2 guinea pigs and a rabbit.  Oh, and let’s not forget the 5 chickens!  They say parenting is for the young, and they are right.  Don’t get me wrong, I love it and feel blessed that I’m healthy enough to do it.  But at night all I can think is, Calgon, take me away.

Sorry this article is so short, but I have one home sick today and one that needs to be walked to the bus.
