Sandra Darlington Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 If you guessed me, you are right! I was 62 in November, and planned to work at least 3 more years. But, my daughter needs to go back to work in January, so I agreed to babysit my 3 grandchildren, ages 5 years, 3 years and 9 months. Yes, I know what I'm getting into, and I'm really excited to do this. So, I have 14 work days left!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yeah for you! You'll have fun babysitting those three! (and keep busy too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks, LeeAnn. My husband said I will be able to give up my gym membership because I'll get my workout everyday with the kids. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmyhogan Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Funtastic ! I think your husband is right about the gym membership. Don't forget to take care of your own needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbi Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Congrats! That's awesome! Just remember, re-tired just means "tired again"!!! I seem to be literally "running" these days! I "retired" from my day job in 2007, and am incredibly busy! I don't know how I ever had time for a "job"... Enjoy those grandbabies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloar Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Congratulations Sandra! How wonderful- your grandkids are very lucky! Somehow I got busier after I retired but at least now I (almost) control my schedule. I'm with Bobbi- don't know how I had time to work- LOL.

Bonnie Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Congrats Sandra.... You will not get much quilting done during the day, but nap time is great. You won't look back at this at all. It was on of my best years to watch the three baby girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
