I feel horrible about it

but no matter how I feel about the Georgia girl, I could never have her live with us. At 59 and well on my way to being an OAP, I no longer have the patience of that 30/40 year old that's still inside me.

She was an angel on Sunday night and all day Monday when I had the 48 hour tummy bug and twice yesterday she turned into the child from hell. I came so close to hitting her that I locked myself in the kitchen with my cigarettes and coffee for 10 minutes to calm down. Then last night we had such a lovely two hours sitting next to each other reading. Talk about Jekyll and Hyde. John spend a lot of time with her writing, reading and snuggling when they watched TV while I was down and she always gets lots of cuddles from me.

This morning she wanted to go home so she could see some friends who visit their grandma next door to where G lives. Not a problem we have always told her that she can go home when she needs to. She wanted to take Spike for a walk before she left, but when he got outside he felt the rain and ran like hell back in, G had a bloody fit right outside the front door because he didn't want to go with her. I ended up dragging her in by the hood of her coat because she flat out refused to stop screaming and yelling at me and would not come in.

I'm at loss what to do with her the next time she comes to stay to help her not be the angry child she is, at least while she is with us.

I going to eat some trifle to cheer me self up!

Home alone at last.

Well ok with hubby and the dog. Sheer Bliss. LOL I think I'm too set in my ways to look after kidlets. Ok, a couple of days is good but not for 10 days.

It's official: I am an old person

Talking with Georgia today about something that my old person brain has forgotten about. She said, "but Vanda, old people like you and John" Yeah, yeah I know that I'm going to be an OAP next year but I still don't think of us being old. Other people are old but not us, nope no way Jose. My mind still thinks I am a lot younger. Damn it it's my body that's letting me down LOL.

One bright and cheerfull morning kid for rent

for two hours every day. I don't do mornings.. Hubby wakes me up with my coffee already in place by my couch and all I have to do is stagger out of bed, flop on the couch and indulge. I make the second cup and when that's finished you can then talk to me.

Holy cow, Georgia gets up full of beans sits next to me and chats and bounces away like well a chatter box on speed and then my brain fries and my head turns around with my eyes popping out like a mad women. So I'm looking for someone to take her off of my non function brain for two hours in the morning. Hours are varied but she will keep you entertained, loves all little kids, cats and dogs.

Any takers?
