Duh kids

I have 4 children. It's a yours, mine and ours family. My hubby had 2 when I met him 11yrs ago. A daughter KA, and a son TA. ( I use initials since I haven't got the kids permission to use their names and pics). The kids lived with him so I got to know them very well. I had a son JA and we had a son together JJ. We have the boys with us and the daught lives with her boyfriend. She is due to have a child in July so I guess that makes me a soon to be grandma. I really don't feel old enough to be a grandma but *sigh* I guess I am. She is days away from being 18. I can only cross my fingers and hope all goes well. JA will be 17 soon (end of June). He has a girlfriend and that seems to be the only thing he has any energy for. He'll be in grade 12 this fall. I hope he graduates. TA just turned 15. He's finishing grade 9 now and doesn't seem to have any idea what to do with himself. None of the eligible children have been able to get a learners yet. On one side that's okay because driving children stresses me but on the other side it would be good if they could get themselves around. I really hope the 2 boys can find work this summer, they weren't able to last year even with my help. The 'baby', JJ, will be 10 right away. He was home schooled for 3 yrs but now attends public school. He has adapted well and it really helped that he got a fabulous teacher. The 3 oldest are all taller than me now and JJ is over my shoulder. His feet are as big as mine. He keeps wearing my sandals. I have 3 brothers and now have three sons. Lots of boys. I do have 2 nieces. JD is 13 and lives 5 mins away so I see her lots. The other lives about an hour away and I see her maybe once a year. I could go on and on but I'm sure you can imagine how interesting my days are with these kids in my life.

Hubby just blew in. The work phone has been going crazy again. YEAH! Three new jobs today, plus 3 on the go. I better get back to the database. It's coming along nicely.
