From Mum to Nanna

This morning I woke up a Nanna, and it didn't hurt a bit, haha

Sooo, do I take up knitting?
I feel like I need to do something Nannary.
I would need to finish that scarf I started 40 years ago for the footy team I haven't supported for at least 35 years.
But alas it was filed in my too hard, and boring as batshit, basket.
And what the fuck is knit one, pearl one, and dropping a stitch????
Thank god for Target and K-Mart.

I've finally reached that age, you know, the one where you often say "In the old days."
Believe me when you think of things you did 30 years ago, that puts you in your 20's, you just think OMG I lived in the old days before so many bloody things that are just everyday things now.
Internet, mobile phones, google maps, Facebook, twitter, social media and bloody Siri.
Scary shit!!!!

Well, it gets very real now.
This is where you find out how well you went raising your own children.
What they will choose to take on as a parent and what they will file in the "I'm not putting my kids through that shit", department.

It's a case of, the best you can do with the circumstances at the time.
I can't say it was all chocolates and roses, but, it's done now and cannot be changed.

I will sit back and observe, and no doubt I will definitely learn some new stuff, of that I am sure.

I have already learnt a great deal during my grandbubbies incubation.
The world is a very different place now with all of the technology available (that's another story).
I had no clue about so much of the information my daughter passed on to me during her pregnancy.

I just became pregnant, ate lots of cake, had a baby or three, got rid of the evidence of all the cake consumed, and got the fuck on with rest of it.

Now they are all grown up, and teaching me lots of shit I didn't even think about.
Who'd have thunk it.....LOL
