Starting In The Grammy-hood

On July 13th, I got the best news a grieving mother could ever get! We had gotten home from our month long vacation in Europe early Tuesday morning, it was around midnight. Later that day, early afternoon, my daughter Elatia & her boyfriend J.R. had stopped by. They were out running errands and thought they would just stop by. We were at the grocery store when they called. I thought it odd but nice that they stopped by & waited for us in the driveway in the heat, even though my daughter has lizard blood & loves the heat, why wait? WOW! Maybe they missed us so much with all the time we had spent together sharing a cabin on the Mediterranean cruise we went on, they just had to see us again. It's been a week already. Yea that's it! They missed us a lot! Well, that's they way it went down in my pretty lil delusional head.

When we get inside, Elatia says she has a welcome home present for me. YAY! I love presents! It was some sort of electronic box, so I thought maybe it was an accessory for my phone or a cheap i-pod, (do they even make those cheap?) I open the box and start crying, and kept asking "Are you serious? Are you serious? No way, really?? Are you serious? Don't f**k w/me!" And she shook her head yes, then I really start crying! The box had baby bibs and bonnets! Granted they weren't for her but a friend, so I couldn't keep them, but the message was loud and clear! I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMOTHER! When the penny dropped for my husband Martin, he starts crying, J.R. is crying, group hug ensued, it was such an incredible moment that I thought I could never experience such joy again. I wanna relive that moment over & over again. After the last 3 1/2 years we've had, this was a much needed event. What a wonderful way to end a month long kick ass vacation!

Now for the cast of characters. There's me, the over excited Grammy that has to learn boundaries as said Grammy & try and not be so over zealous. Yea, good luck with that one! Then there's my husband Martin, a professional psychic medium, that my daughter seems to forget the fact what he does for a living & that I use to do readings as well until 3rd dimensional crap was not getting done right, so I decided to stay more grounded. SO what does that mean? It means I just know stuff, that's all I'm saying ;-) Then we have our teenage, Avatar, son Andrew, who is on the other side now for the past 2 1/2 + years. He made his transition 4 months after a leukemia diagnosis at 16yo in Oct 2007. Hence the grieving mother title. Because Martin is a medium, we have never lost contact with Andrew, he is still very much a part of our everyday life. Martin & Andrew work together doing readings on California Psychics. Yes, it sounds awfully cheesy working for a psychic line, but Martin is excellent at what he does & it pays the bills. Then we have the pregnant daughter Elatia, and the boyfriend J.R. who impregnated her. And of course I can't forget the whole reason for starting this blog, the reason for my new title in life, my new lease on life, "the bump," well, almost "the bump," it's still pretty early. These are the basic cast of characters. I'm sure we will have guests appearances from friends & an occasional family member, they all live in Ireland, but for now these are your basic cast of characters on my road to Grammy-hood

Stay tuned because there is much more to write about when this journey began for us on July 13.
