TO SHOP! That is the right of passage into grandparent hood isn’t it? Shop till you drop for your grandbaby. It feels so surreal to be in this stage of my life, a grandparent. I’ve been hoping for it, dreaming about it, looking forward to it, and now that it is here, it feels so weird! Wonderfully exciting but weird. Just like it feels weird for Elatia to think of herself as a mother. That’s always been my title, well for the last 30 or so years. It’s weird to think of myself as a grandmother.
Today is Martin’s day off so I suggested we check out Macy’s because I heard from a guy at work that they had great prices on baby clothes. We went and I wasn’t too impressed with the clothes prices but we found a few things we liked. I gotta go back and get the pink piggy bank that says, “Little Princess” on it.
It would appear that we all have themes we will be dressing her up in. Martin is going to rock her out with outfits with guitars and rock star on them. Me? Glam, punk, and princess stuff. Sherri, things that looks like it’s in the clown family, you know, things with colorful circles on them.
Andrew had a hand in an outfit I picked out today, although Martin and I didn’t realize it until we got home and Andrew pointed it out to Martin. It says on this lime green w/hot pink trim onsie, “Nuts For Grandma” Then there’s a squirrel holding an acorn. You'd have to have been reading my other blog about Andrew on healive.org to know how funny that really is. Well, that was Andrew’s way of letting us know he was right there with us shopping today. I didn’t notice the squirrel because, quite frankly, 1. I was focused on the Grandma part and 2. The squirrel is pretty small and in my defense, Grammy C’s eyes ain’t what they use to be! Man! That second one was hard to admit! Half the battle is admitting it right?
We look forward to more Grammy C, Granda Marts, & Uncle Muck shopping dates for our Wee Woman in the near future!

SHOPPIN IN THE GRAMMY-HOOD
I met with J.R.'s mother, Sherri on Oct 1st for lunch then some Grammy shoppin. I think it is important for the grandparents to get along. I figured since my granddaughter has 2 grandmothers, I better get to know the other one. I mean, the other grandmother, Sherri, is a part of our family now, as is her family, and my granddaughter is going to spend time with her, I want to know her and have a relationship with the other grandmother. What a gift for our granddaughter to have grandmothers that get along and work together in the her best interest. Well that's my goal anyway! Elatia and JR need all the help they can get. I honestly believe it does take a village to raise a child. What better gift to give a child than grandparents that work and shop together.
Sherri & I had lunch first at Olive Garden to get to know one another a little bit, I really enjoyed her company, then it was off to JC Penny's. Well, those little girls clothes are just so darn cute! With Sherri being a clown, she was picking clothes that had colorful circles on them, they were really cute. Me being me, I was looking for more rocker and or goddessie kinda clothes. FOUND THEM! I found a cool glam outfit for next Christmas. Sherri & I both agreed she is our Little Princess so anything like that has our vote! Of course anything that said Grandma or Grandpa on it got my attention. Sherri has an embroidery machine so we can have anything embroidered with Grammy and Granda instead of Grandma or Grandpa. Sherri is thinking about going by Mimi. Grammy shoppin with the other grandmother is a lot of fun! Looking forward to doing more of that.
With Sherri, and her husband, Dave being clowns and us being psychics and comedians, this child will never be bored! We also make Elatia and J.R. look normal! This little girl is always gonna have the best birthday parties! There will always be a clown there!
Hmmm why haven't I called my granddaughter by her name yet? BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE ONE! Martin said he's just gonna call her "Wee Woman." At the mo I'm callin her "she who must not be named." Elatia and JR don't appear to be in any hurry to pick a name. They may even leave it until she is born! They're killin me! I wanna know her name already! Jayzus! I had Elatia's name picked since I was 15yo! I want to feel the vibration of her name. Ok, how woo woo was that? But I don't care! Knowing her name I can get into her energy more. Wow, I just can't stop this woo woo stuff. Woo woo is what woo woo does.
It's just been so exciting planning the arrival of my granddaughter. I didn't think I could get anymore excited but I have and I am. I look at that 3D scan and see her and there are no words to describe the joy I feel. I show her off to everyone! This is such an epic win for Martin and I. It really has given us a new lease on life and it feels so great to feel this way again!
