My sister Mary is in the hospital trying to avoid early delivery of her baby. So my mom has been staying here with us and spending most of each day at the hospital with Mary and the nights here with us. Today Mom helped Niki and I clean the common areas of the house so I could concentrate on doing some work and not feel overwhelmed with home and work. It is always a blessing to have my mom around in that capacity. She is always willing to pitch in and help watch the baby or do the dishes or sweep the floor or walk the dogs. It is also a lovely time for NikiRhe to be getting to know her Grandma on a more personal level.
I used to go spend loads of time with my grandparents and I'd love to have my mom living here in town so that when Niki gets a bit older she can spend weekends with Grandma and Grandpa and not just my Dad and step-mom (aka: Popa and Memaw). I can foresee in the future that as the oldest child I will at some point need to help my mother in her golden years. I just want my daughter to KNOW her grandma the way I know mine.
I would not have a problem with having more than two generations in the house all the time. Infact as long as everyone knows about and can accept our belief in Biblical Marriage it would be wonderful!

One Long Weekend Ahead....
So tomorrow was supposed to be my sisters baby shower but she got admitted into the hospital because she is in danger of pre-term delivery. However my mother wants to have the shower at the hospital. UGH! I HAVE to do laundry and I have to go to my dads and help my step-mother with some things that they need help with.
I don't even know if I'm going to have time to go to the office in the morning. I hate that I've got so much going on that it takes away from me working but I love that I know I can work hard for the next few weeks to do what needs to be done to make some money. I know I can always take my daughter to work with me and while I appreciate that I am really needed this weekend to get some important family things done.
