Kriss’ Journal

You would think I could learn, eh?

I lived through my older daughter’s teen years. You would think that I learned some THING. That somehow it would be easier. I wouldn’t get so upset. I would be calmer. I could handle the mouth, the attitude, the raging hormones. Yeah, right. Apparently not.

Yesterday was another one of those days. My 13-year-old and I fought. We were both in tears. We couldn’t seem to get through a regular conversation without yelling. Gee, I just can’t wait to see what today holds.

Maybe it will be better. It is that way you know….a roller coaster. One day she is my little girl. One day my nemesis.

I won!

And a Babies R Us gift card at that! 2 guesses who I am spending that on. Yeah, that granddaughter I keep posting about. Who is coming over today!

Wow…so this is what it’s like

Putting your life out there for all to see. Yeah, like I am THAT interesting.

Okay, an online journal. A diary. A place to post personal events. To torment my daughter who will be horrified at the thought that her MOTHER will maybe post details of her life. LOL

Mostly my life these days revolves around family. My husband who I adore. My oldest daughter, engaged and mom to my adorable granddaughter. My teenage daughter who alternates being close to me and pushing me away. And my granddaughter who is, trite as it sounds, the light of my life.

Who knew? How is it that some women are afraid of being grandmas? It is the coolest thing I have experienced in a long, long time.

My granddaughter.

As a fairly new grandparent (she is 15 months old) I am still in awe at the way I feel every time I am around her. My face lights up and when she hugs me I want to cry.  I adore her and fear her parents will ban me or get a restraining order LOL. I pace myself but seriously I could spend every day of the month with her. No one warned me about this. Or did they? I seem to remember my mom muttering something once.
