My youngest child will be 26 in a few week's. My oldest will be 30 in a few months. The baby girl, the middle child, will be 28. They all have given grandma and me some great grandbabie's.
So far this year, we have handed out $1000.00's of dollar's. One needed to pay the gas bill after going on a week's vacation to Disney World. Imagine that. One needed money to buy school clothes, and make a car payment. One needed money to help with the downpayment on a house. The girl's have good job's and so do their husband's. The boy has a good job and is the one buying the house. They all are paying the loan's back.
Now come's the grandkid's. Two of them live right across the street from us. So every evening when they get off the school bus, they come over to grandma's house, for milk and cookie's. They also hit us up for icecream money for the next day. Lil' Dawg, my nick for him because he isn't very big for a 6 yr. old, loves the Indy Colt's. This is my oldest daughter's son. Me being a loyal Cleveland Brown's fan has to ride his a$$ for his loyalty to the Colt's. So he call's me up Wendsday of last week and tell's me he has ticket's to the Colt's and Bengal's game for Friday. So I take him. We go to Hardrock Cafe for dinner. $35.00 for dinner and tip. Then off to the RCA dome for the game. After a Payton jersey and a number 1 foam finger, still more money, I have to listen to all the reason's why they lost all the way home. I live an hour from Indy. Fairly Knowlegable about the game itself though. I guess sitting him on my lap watching game's has paid off. My youngest daughter has a little girl that's going to be 8 yrs. old on Sept. 18th. She lives 5 hrs. away in Medina, Ohio. About 30 miles south of Cleveland. So every year grandma and I have to pack up the truck and head up there for her birthday. She alway's want's to go to the Indian's game. So there is another 100.00 or so for ticket's. Plus all the dog's and nacho's her and grandma consume. She also has to make one of those stuffed teddy bear's that is popular now. Only it's the Indian's team mascot, Slider. More $$$$.
Not to mention all of the niece's and nephew's that graduated from high school and college this year.
So I just wonder to myself, and out loud now, if I will ever get done raising kid's?
Man I certainly hope not. Family and friend's are all you really have in life!!!!!
