Felt more like mom today than ever!

I felt more like my mom today than ever in that I received an honored pleasure to babysit, for the first time, my granddaughter, Mackenzie. I was very excited although I didn't want to tell that to Mackenzie's mom and dad for fear they would laugh at me, I'm sure they did anyway cause I don't think I hid it very well. The girls knew too so they probably were laughing as well, although jealous too. Ray is traveling for work therefore I don't sleep too well. I was up watching tv, downstairs not in the bedroom, at 4am. I DVR just about everything it seems. Went back up to bed after watching one show and was able to go back to sleep. But was up again at 6:55am - alarm set for 7am. I had to get ready to go - I had to babysit at 8:30am. An hour and a half to get ready and drive to their house - really???? They only live 4-5 miles away. Ok so I can go get Starbucks - yes since Ray is gone I can go get coffee and a pumpkin muffin - mmmm! That will take extra time. Hmmm still early, so now I also have time to fill the gas tank too. Upon leaving the house I have my bag in tow with my books and stuff to do while watching Mackenzie. Yes, this is the real part that is my mom. She used to watch my kids and always came to the house with her "bag" of goodies. However, in her bag she had sugar packets, crackers that were crumbs, jelly packets, and her circle puzzle book; she always thought she might need that little something that I didn't have in my house. I couldn't help but think she would love to be doing this for her great granddaughter. She would be so proud of me for taking that bag, and I'm sure she is laughing at me too!
