Mine has been a very exhausting day. I had to work but that wasn't the exhausting part. My granddaughter (11months)has surgery on Friday (in the hospital that I work in), she's been sick for the past 2 wks so we've all been stretched thin. I watch my grandkids on my days off Thur -Sat to make it easier on my DD to support her family. This week on my days off I spent my time running back and forth to the hosptial and taking care of the 5yr old son. Then when I came back to work on Sun it was running back and forth between floors of where I work and where she was to check on her. Yes, her parents were there but I had to also check. I'm very close to my grandkids. Yesterday, consisted of me not only getting myself up at 5am to go to work but also the 5yr old. I brought him with me (no school-holiday) fed him breakfast and around 8 took him upstairs to be with his mom. Then for several hours it was more of balancing out my job and checking on them and giving DD a break. Finally around 2 yesterday they got to go home. I had a machine embroidery class to go to last night that I cancelled before she got out of hospital and I was glad I did. I went home at 5 and slept for most of the evening; got up for about an hour and half then back to sleep. I feel much better today. I can't believe how exhausted I was and the funny thing is that if it wasn't for the alarm clock I wouldn't have gotten up at all this morning.
