My goodness but Grammy G has been a busy girl since I last blogged.

Thursday I finally got my job review. Not bad. I really can't complain. It looks like there will be some new jobs for me to take on next year. That's good because I honestly am not that busy at work. The work load goes up and down but mostly down. I do like being busy because it makes the day go by faster. Of course, it does cut into my blogging.

I took Friday off and Missy and I went Christmas shopping. This started right after Patrick died. November 17 is his birthday and in our grief we used that day to be together and shop. We discovered that shopping is great for dealing with grief. Anyway, after all these years it has become a tradition for us to do our Christmas shopping on this day. I am so thrilled because I got all of my precious grandbaby's presents bought and most everyone elses. A few things still to pick up in shops and some on line stuff to buy and then I will be completely done with my Christmas shopping. That means I can sit back and enjoy the season.

I also got to go with Missy to Serif's day care for their Thanksgiving dinner. That didn't work out too well because she got so excited about me being there with her mommy that she wouldn't eat. All she wanted to do was run around and show me everything. We finally had to leave so she would eat some lunch. Poor baby. Plus she is cutting molars and she's just miserable. I sure wish they would come through before Thanksgiving. It would be so much better for her and definitley easier on her mommy.

Then Friday night after all our shopping, my son and daughter-in-law came over to Missy's and we all sat around and watched The Producers. Serif just loved that show. That little girl does love a good musical.

Sunday was the usual running around. The kids surprised me with lunch and then we headed out to get our groceries for the week. It really does make a difference when we go together. It may take a little longer but it's definitely more fun. I think we got just about everything for Thanksgiving. It's going to be so much fun this year. Terry's sister got engaged and so it's not just our family but her fiancee's parents and brother. We have such a small family that's it's always wonderful when we are able to add more to the mix. It should be a great day full of family, food and friends. What more could you ask for.
