To Grandmother's House We Go

We just got back from Albany visiting my grandmother (my mom's mom). She's a trip - absolutely in love with Sam, but who wouldn't be???? She's 83 and in pretty good health (when she wants to be). But, she is the most ADDHD person I have EVER incountered. She was hugging my mom and said, "I love you - you'll never find shoes like these anymore. They're the best shoes." My mom just said she loved her shoes too!!!!! We were telling her bye at the car, and she looked down and said, "Look, I have on a blue and a black shoe!" Random!!!!! And, can I just say that talking about sex with my 83 year old grandmother is just NOT a topic we venture into... until this trip!!!! We were watching TV (So You Think You Can Dance - absolutely nothing to do with sex), and she says, "These kids go up to the third floor of their schools and mess around - you know, oral sex and that kind of stuff..." OH MY GOSH - I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS FROM HER MOUTH!!!!!!! She didn't stop there - she kept on going and going about it!!!!!! I couldn't believe she even knew what it was, much less needed to talk about it with me!!!!!???? Apparently, that's where "lesbans" and "gays" come from - tahat's how they learn to be that way!?
Another time she said something about a 40 year old couple getting pregnant and that he must have had some good swimmers!!!!! She's a trip...

On the way down there, I drove, and Mama was in the front, Sam in the back with Rocky and Stormie in my lap (Daddy flew his plane and met us down there). Mama must have crawled back in the back at least half a dozen times to check on Sam and do something or other for him! He got a little fussy, but the "Mimi Song" soothed him down just fine! He was great while we were in Albany, of course!!!!!! Nothing seems to faze him these days!

On the way home, Mama drove, and I did Sam duty. He slept for about an hour, and I thought we were going to be just fine. Apparently, though, the gas got the better of him, and he WHALED and SCREACHED for what seemed like an hour. Rocky was all over the truck, Stormie was up front crying, and I was trying to calm Sam down. An interesting trip to say the least! Once we got to the lake, Sam ate and had a huge poo. It came out the diaper and went up his back - it was so bad that we just took him to the laundry sink and gave him a bath!!!!! Well, needless to say he is still napping!!!!

He is at Mimi and Pop Pop's for the weekend... BJ and I are meeting my roommate from college (Buffie) tonight for dinner, we're laying sod and doing yard work tomorrow, then we're going out with Ryan and Jenny for dinner - they are pregnant, and we need to celebrate with them!!!!!!!

It's going to be a busy weekend, but it's going to be fun... I'm even looking forward to yard work! I have missed BJ, nad it will be wonderful to spend time with him! He is going to meet Mama and Daddy to get Sam back on Sunday afternoon!!!!!!!! I miss him already!!!!!!
