This past weekend my husband and I spent the weekend caring for our granddaughter who is 14 months old. She is such a sweet little girl. She is full energy, but was not feeling so well. I don't know if it was a cold or allergies, but she felt bad. It is so sad when a baby is sick and they can't tell you what the matter is or what hurts. Our son and daughter in law went to Utah for a ski vacation.

It is strange when you are responsible for someone's child. I know when my boys were little, I did worry about them and how to take care of them. I was only 22 and 24 when I had the boys. Maybe it was because I had them young and didn't know of all the dangers. With all the information now, the internet, you can google what is wrong with you and diagnosed yourself. You read all about the sick children with terrible diseases, disorders, terminal illness, so when a child gets the sniffles, you think of only the worse. Plus when you are responsible for someone's child, you became almost parnoid about it.

I certainly was glad when my shift was over and the other grandparents took over. Then all I had to worry about was my son and daugher in law getting home safe and sound.

All this worry is putting a straing on this grammy.
