"Snow Day"

Another foot of snow last night!  So I had the undeniable pleasure of an entire extra day with my grandchildren.  Mom was working and Roo had a bunch of uptown stuff to do.
I've often wondered who gets paid on these days.  The teachers?  The bus drivers?  The bus companies?  Probably everybody eh?
I know I ain't getting paid so I just took it pretty damned easy.  I really just laid around all day!  Made grilled cheese, baked some muffins and kicked the kids outside to play in the snow.  Finally I got up enough energy to go for a run about 3 pm.  Right after that I was back on duty though, as Colb had hockey.  This grandparenting stuff has long hours, and doesn't pay very well!!!
Yah right!

Run,  15 kms

"After 58 years on this planet I've finally discovered my vocation.  Grandparenting is the most important thing I do, or that I have ever done.  I am determined to get good at it.  Regardless of my success level, you couldn't pay me enough to give it up!"---Peter W Rooyakkers

Love

  1. Love the quote, and the sentiment, although I get my joy from great-aunting (if that's a word) and aunting (again the spellchecker objects) before that. Hockey tomorrow!!
