It is a generally known supposistion suported by research that grandparents love to know what is going on in their grandchildrens lives. I am no different. I love all of my grandchildren and want only the best for each one of them. I have no great desire to be their parent I have already done that. However should the need ever arise I would do my best to do whatever I needed to ensure their health, saftey and well-being. I do want to be the best grandparent I can be. I want all of my children and their spouses and grandchildren to know how much I want only the very best for them. When they are carrying heavy burdens I would do all in my power to lighten their loads. I thank my Father in Heaven every day that I get to be their mother, grandmother and mother in law. Today as it is pouring down rain outside I thought I would just acknowledge the pouring out of blessings I have in my life as well :)

Today is my oldest childs birthday. He was born in 1975. I marvel daily that I get to be his mom. joel has created for himself a great life I am so very proud of him. Happy birthday Joel

Week two
Missed my parent-child relationship class this week. but made it to the other two. I LOVE my family life eductor class. the professor is brilliant and loves and knows her materials. She makes it exciting to go to class. Same with my communications class. Intereseting question we are supposed to ask ourselves this week. It is using the Social Worth theory, (which basically says that there are costs and benefits to every relationship) What costs and benefits do I bring to my relationships? Beats me. Hopefully the benefits outwiegh the costs?

first week finished

After just one week of classes I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have a lot of work ahead of me. It is a little strange the longer I am in school the more trepidation I feel at the begining of each semester. It is kind of interesting to me at my change of attitude over the last 2 years I have been back at school. My first day of class 2 years ago, I sat behind a beautiful young blonde young woman. She came equipped with an ipod, a cell phone and a laptop computer. I sat behind with a notebook and a pen. I felt like a prehistoric dinasaur. There are a lot of times, I still do. But mostly I am amazed at the bright and kind young people that surround me daily. This semester is going to be fun. I am taking a parent-child relationship class from a young woman who has no children. I just wonder how her theories are going to line up when she has a sick baby who has kept her up for 48 hours straight. Or when one of her children tell her at 8pm, they have a major school project due in the morning and they haven't stared it yet. Or better still how will she deal with a child that comes home way past curfew, or not at all. Yes I think this class is going to be interesting :)
