"I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was." Do you remember this Toby Keith song? I'm humming it today as I tend to things around the house.
Lil' Mama is sick.
She went to the doctor Friday and he diagnosed her with strep and said she was to stay far away from Haylee Kate for three days. I understand that. She's taking her meds and beginning to feel like a person again.
DAY #1
I tended to Haylee Kate with nary a "hic-up" in the day from morning til bedtime.
Day #2
I let a lot of things around the house ride, and spent my time caring for HK.
Day #3
Mister is helping.
I'm still in my pajamas,
and counting the hours till tomorrow morning when Lil' Mama will be freed to take care of HK!
We didn't make it to church.
Yes, it's true, "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good [one day} as I ever was". Day two and three? Not so much.

Shuuucks! I am not as good "day two or three" at much of anything anymore.
I admire your grit. :) Your family is lucky to have you.
Hope everyone is feeling better.
Cute post, and good you are there to care for HK as lil mama recovers.
I love that song....just heard it recently on my favorite country oldies station. You are a good mom and grandmom. Now, go take a nap.
I know that song - and I know what it means. The way you write is so funny - I am in tears! sandie
Strep is just miserable - thank goodness for antibiotics!
I had my granddaughter last weekend and told my hubby that it reminded me again of how much work a little one is. She was well taken care of but the house was a mess. :)
Your daughter is really lucky to have family there to help her. I wonder how single parents handle it all alone...it was tough enough with my hubby helping me! Grandkiddos can really wear you out and that makes me realize why having kids when you're young is a good idea! I hope your daughter is feeling better soon and little HK stays healthy too!
I hear you! We gave up doing anything except loving on, playing with the kids, feeding them, and giving baths. And that is just the first day! Here's hoping tomorrow Lil Mama will be able to be with HK. (You have many roles at your house. I think everybody is right - your family is lucky to have you.)
Stay well yourself...you are the mom...you can not afford to be sick, as you know...this is another mommy telling you this. LOL Blessings for good health to all of you.xoxo,Susie
Hope L.M is feeling better, and you are recovering as well...I had the grand babies here with there Mums this week end and I am ready to go back to bed.....
I love that song!!! You are hilarious! I feel the same way....some days I think I just can't do it anymore. Then I go to sleep and feel better. There's a good reason we have children when we are YOUNG!
Good job, Grandma!!!
Thanks for sharing.
LOL I feel your pain...helping out with the twins reminds me why I never was intended to have them myself! Whew babies ARE for the young! Hugs~
Hope she's feeling much better soon. That strep is a butt-kicker.
Now I'll have that TK song in my head all day. :)
You do great!! The little ones wear me out quickly... Hope lil Mama is feeling much better.
Oh, the little ones wear us out so quickly! I was feeling bad about being so tired after helping with two of my little grands when I realized I am 30 years older than the mama for goodness sakes!
Remember those days as a young mom when you were lucky if you had time to shower and get dressed? Well, I guess you got a little reminder. How nice you were able to help out - I'd love to have my daughter closer...
Hope by the time you read this all is well and everyone is rested and feeling good.
