Note to self: Do not allow grandparents to babysit until Lukin enters school. I am learning that having a grandchild instills some inane amount of guilt so that they can't let the child fuss AT ALL or they feel like horrible grandparents. Thus introduces the spoiling of the grandchild. I don't know where this comes from and I suppose that I won't until I have grandchildren of my own. I wonder if this desire to spoil stems from an inability to spoil the child the way you want when they are your child or if it's a way of getting back at your child for how naughty they were as a result of their parents spoiling you. It's like the circle of life or something.
So I guess that this weekend, we are planning to go to Texas. Now, I have nothing against Texas, but why does it have it's own smell? My dad says it's the combination of crude oil and cow shit. His words, verbatim. I am looking forward to the break, but I think it's weird that it will be the beginning of February and we will be in Texas without snow around. I guess that means that I have lived in the midwest for my entire life.
So, my mom was looking in the paper and she found a 5 bedroom house. She says that we could all live in it together: Sonny and me, Lukin, my parents, his parents, and probably Stacie (since she will probably always live with Mom and Dad), and Sonny says to remember Ranger Rick too. Mom said that we would always have daycare whenever we want. Whatever. We would have to unbrainwash the kid from how spoiled he would be from living with the grandparents.
As you can probably tell, my parents are on their shift of daycare this week. I am enjoying having them here, and I enjoyed having Amanda here last week. I have to admit that I will be sad when it returns to Sonny's parents taking care of Lukin. This is not because it will be Sonny's parents, but because my links to back home will all be back home. However, it should be alright because I think we are going up to Grand Forks the weekend after Valentine's day.
Well, Mom is making a good supper for us so I better go and get ready to enjoy the homecooked goodness.
