My Hair Isn't Grey Enough Yet

The day before Mother's Day I was told I'm going to be a Grandma and I wanted to share an insight I gained in the past few weeks... I'm sure I'll share others as the months go by; the baby's due in January.
  • Be very specific what you ask God for because he'll grant what you are asking on HIS terms & timing NOT yours:
    • When Maddie was born I said I wanted a daughter who was strong and spoke her mind. I made the mistake of not clarifying that I wanted a daughter that was strong and spoke her mind to everyone EXCEPT me.... I got exactly what I wished for...
    • I've ALWAYS said I wanted to skip right over motherhood straight to being a Grandma so I could spoil the grandkids rotten and send them home. I forgot to clarify that I wanted my children to zoom up in age also so that when they became parents they would be 100% prepared to have their  own child (if that's even possible.)... Anyway, I got exactly what I wished for...
  • My hair isn't grey enough yet to be called "Grandma" so I'm announcing to all the other Grandmother's (Great etc) that I am claiming the title of "Nana Jamie" right now. Pick something else for yourself ....sorry!
  • For the soon to be Grandfather's... FYI the kids already call their Grandfather's "Papa"... Papa John, Papa Earl & Papa Harry so if you have that in mind for yourself, you'll need to pick something else because that title's already designated for the "Great Grandfather's"...
For Hunter & Skye, although I can't claim I'm overjoyed at the thought of getting a grandchild before my hair is white enough to get the title of "Grandparent" I do know I will be an awesome "Nana" and I'll love your child more than I can express here...

Also, here's some helpful tips I found on the internet last night for you both (Sorry I'm having trouble getting it bigger on here...  To see a bigger image CLICK HERE)
