Grandkids

My roomies grandkids are visiting and it sure let me know how out of shape I am. I took them to a small playground yesterday-ran, climbed, pushed the swings-and this morning I can feel it in every muscle. The kids are 3 and 5 and have surprised me with their intelligence, the way they compromise and share, and their appettites. The three year old used the word "magnetic" yesterday. The five year old is doing a good job of keeping up with how many days and nights he has been here and how many more before Mommie comes to pick them up. I will have to restock my entire pantry when they go home but they don't ask for or even seem to like sweets or junk food.It's great.
We're going to visit my daughter today, who is recovering from gall bladder surgery. It was supposed to be a one hour surgery that turned into three hours. The operating room did a good job of keeping me and her husband informed about once an hour. When she came out of surgery and went to recovery, they were swamped and it took an extremely long hour and a half to hear anything. She is doing well now at home and hopefully up to a visit.
With vacation and normal days off, I have only worked one day in the last 12 and have been very lazy. It's my weekend to work and one more week before I start a new schedule based around school. Red Cross wants me take a class to become an HIV program instructor and a couple of Disaster Responder classes. The local business association meeting is today and the antique tracotr club meeting is next Thursday. Time management is going to be critical but procrastination is what I'm best at.
