Well, it has been awhile since my last post, but it has also been a holiday weekend. And a very busy weekend around here. That is, a busy weekend for me and the boys, not so much for my grandmother. There were cook-outs and shopping and just hanging out with family. Unfortuantely my grandmother just wanted to stay at home all weekend. She wanted to stay around the house in case someone might call or come by to see her. I really feel sorry for her. I don't understand why she would turn down an invitation to go and do something to sit around by herself. But, maybe it was a well deserved "break" for all of us. I know it has to be hard on my grandmother to go from living alone to having a family of three move in. I think we both appreciate some time away from each other every now and then.
Being away from the house a little this weekend means I wasn't here to watch what grandma was doing and fixing all the little things she does during the day. So, this evening, I came home and started putting the dishes away only to find the dishes in the cabinets all misplaced and half of them out on the bar in plain sight. If you remember, I have mentioned before that when we first moved in, all the dishes she uses were out all over the counters in the kitchen. She leaves out things she uses because she will lose them if she puts them away. I know there are more things to uncover in time.
We got home this evening and I realized the boys and grandma hadn't been spending a lot of time together over the last couple of days. She was getting them absolutely wired. She was so excited to see them. It was cute to see. It also reminded me of how my six year old nephew acts when he hasn't seen a friend in awhile. It is a reality I have to face that my grandmother is not the person she once was.
This is a pretty brief post, but it has been a long weekend and I'm tired.
