Baby-sat my nephew and nieces tonight.  Such sweet kids, but they make me homesick for my grandkids!  I'm the kind of grandma that wants to have slumber parties at my house and cookies in my cookie jar, and read lots of bed time stories, but they are far away.  So those dreams are on hold and other children get the benefit of my frustration and maybe, that's not all bad.   I'd probably spoil the grandkids rotten and then their parents would hate me and that's bad!  Sometimes, the things we want the most are not what is best for everyone involved and we need to understand that; and then move on.
