Grammiehood!
You know ...... I have always considered myself to be a youthful soul .... a little bit adventurous .... and a little bit rebellious. :) But there were times in my life when the role I had to play did not fit comfortably with my soul.
The stay at home farm wife early in our marriage was disastrous for my emotional state. We had no money, so I could not go anywhere. And cooking and cleaning all day were not compatible with my adventurous spirit.
Then the babies started coming ... and I started to feel a little bit more comfortable in my role. I could play with them ....take them for walks along the creek ... be involved in their school activities.
Then the empty nest stage occurred. And even though I love my boys dearly, I loved having an empty nest as well! Now I had time to take off and explore the things I had been missing out on in life. And I was working, so I had a little bit of extra income to be able to afford some nice vacations! And I had the enjoyment of seeing our sons become the men I always hoped they would be.
But .... you know .... as good as that stage was ...... I think this stage of Grammiehood is the best of all!!
I get to love my babies .... and not be tied down by them! I get to play with them ... and be adventurous with them! And I get to see the amazing parents our sons and daughter-in-laws have become! And that is the best part of all!
Yup ....... life is good. I finally fit my soul. Even though on the outside I am a plump, gray haired, matronly, middle aged woman. On the inside, my soul is still a kid!
And that is good!
