Oh What the Weekend Brings

Welcome to my new endeavor.
I finally decided to put my thoughts about life as I see it on a blog.  Who knows how many people out there may see things the same way or offer a different perspective. But as life would have it right now, I am a wife, mother, dog mom, daughter, daughter in-law (whose father in-law lives with us), sister, friend, teacher, and a woman living in the 21st century.  I am part of the new mom's in their 40's circle, full time wife and teacher. I also have my husband's father who is in his 80's living with us in a suite in our home.  I am part of the Sandwich Generation. What kind of sandwich I am right now remains to be chosen. I will definitely try to name some while I write these blogs. I named this blog Weekends at our House, because something always presents itself as a challenge or celebration of life in full force. Maybe this weekend's sandwich is Pulled Pork.  Like right now....grampa is sitting at the kitchen table figuring out what his day is going to be like....the offer of a drive out on a glorious morning has been suggested by his son, just the two of them, and it takes a moment to figure out if that's a possibility for the day...questions that arise are: Yes I guess we could do that if you are up to it...followed by Bev have you had breakfast yet? No because I am not going with you. Oh, ok. The mind of grampa now being pulled to another thought and followed by a short pause then the response...I guess that's ok.  Then my son tries to tell grampa that he is not going but staying to have a bath...this is where it get's a little tricky...grampa is in the process of getting hearing aides, which will hopefully eliminate the need to speak very loudly, especially from a 4 year olds perspective, to be heard and understood.  It is quite charming at times as well as, very frustrating.  The hearing aides are a whole different story and will be written about on a future blog.  Right now I will have to put off finishing as I am being pulled by my 4 year old who cannot stand the pain of patience, in waiting for his bath and keeps saying to me as he sits by my side...aweee! why does it take so long?  My tummy says right now....followed by the biggest sigh ever!!! Off I go being pulled. :)
