Bath TIME--YIKES!?!?!

Well we all know that Mami fell and broke her elbow. She is supposed to be having surgery today, all Dad said was that they would put in some pins/screws so she wouldn't have to wear a cast. But anyways they are benefits to being the only granddaughter and they are also some disadvantages too. I say being the only granddaughter because growing up, Tina and Aunt Magaret never came around and vice versa. So I don't know much on Tina's growing up. Until recently is just when we have started seeing each other. And having a baby close in age brings us closer. But growing up I was a Daddy's girl and a Paw-Paw's girl. Loved my Paw Paw to death, I wish ever day that he could have met Aydan. I know he would have loved him very much. Anykawho, disadvantages, having to give your grandmother a bath! I love her but never thought that this day would come. Mami fell two days ago, on Wednesday. So Wednesday evening I offered to put on her pajamas. You know how old people really don't care to take a bath everyday, why? Sometimes they just need a good dunkin in the tub. Well, Scott makes mention that I could give her a bath why we are trying to put clothes on :) I just smiled really big and gave him the dirties look. Because in reality you love her but you really don't want to do it. Well guess what, I have done it two times, feet too. Neither time did she put on her pajamas, she just wore what she was going to be wearing the next day because she didn't want to change twice and I don't think that she wanted anyone else to help her. But the job is done, hopefully just a few more times and I will be okay....
Well, I have almost lived through another 'End of Month" time at Saft. I still love my job, honestly, I feel like it could be used as a tool from the Devil when it comes time to stay at home with Aydan. Yes that is still my goal, and I tell him in the mornings that one morning will come to where he doesn't have to get out of bed and go to someone else house. But it makes me feel really good when I go to take him to Mom's house that he automatically goes to her. Guess he knows that he is going to get a bottle and that he will get to go back to sleep. But I like it. I am going to try maybe this weekend working with him about drinking milk from a sippee cup. He has done it once before during supper, but doesn't want it to go to bed. Which I find very funny because he drinks his bottle, waits until I am in the bed to snuggle, (BTW, he doesn't like snuggling with Daddy, yes I am aware that I might be a little more puffier that Daddy, but it still makes me feel good) so hopefully things will be okay. That way we can pack up the bottles until next year...lordwilling...depends on Mariano's immigration. You might think I am funny but Mariano and I both prayed that God would give us direction on when to start a family and I believe that he did and that is why Aydan is here. So we are going to wait again until we get that direction. Don't you just love being a Christian knowing that everything is going to BE ALRIGHT.
I remembered one thing, you might here it again on Sunday, but I was driving to work today listening to 88.1 JOY FM. And they started singing YOU CAN'T ASK TOO MUCH OF MY GOD. I felt like Bro. Clark, just started crying and rejoicing, I was ready to pull over and do a Holy dance. I love those moments, like you get a divine Revelation from God himself. But that song is so so true. Think back in the OT when they didn't have the Holy Spirit to bare witness that God was going to move. We are so blessed....

Wow. What a beautiful post, Wendy! Our family has been praying for you all every night, so we are expecting GREAT things.

As for Mami's "bathtime" you'll get use to it and it won't always seem so awkward. In all the memories I have of helping to take care of my Gran, bath time is one of the faintest. Partly because my mama did most of it but I did help. I guess it is mostly that there were so many other valuable memories that I have that bathing her just faded from my mind. You'll do anything you can to help those you love. And it will draw you closer together, I think. She'll learn to appreciate you more, no doubt.

Either way, I'm really proud of you. Cause I know feet aren't really your thing....mine either. Just think of how Jesus washed other adult's feet, too. Think he ever got "grossed out?" I don't know, maybe. Anyway, hope that helps. Maybe.

LOVE YA.
