I was planning on sleeping in this morning. I was most exhausted after teaching all day, and then rehearsing and concertizing until 9:00 p.m. I didn't get home until after 10:30 p.m. I pretty much walked into my room and dove into bed.
My daughter and her husband went to an evening service at their church last night. They were going to the horse races this morning. I was planning on a leisurely morning - sleeping in, hooping, breakfast and then a trip to my public storage unit to dig through some music and books. Planning my next performance.
Alas, my morning of leisure was shattered. My daughter texted me at 6:00 a.m. Apparently it was $1 beer and hot dog day at the horses. They were afraid it might be too boisterous a crowd for Baby Gracie. I agreed. So the plan was for me to take the Max to Cascades Station. My son-in-law would pick me up and drive me to their house. And I would pull a double shift with my grandbaby.
I thank God for $1 beer and hot dog day.
Gracie and I had so much fun!
I did make sure I started with coffee at Starbucks. I would need the energy!
We have a nice routine. She had much happy, alert time. And when she got fussy, after her basic needs were taken care of, we danced! I found some old CD's in my storage unit. She liked the African drumming CD. But she LOVED 3rd Day.
Our favorite song is "Sing a Song". After each cycle: Diaper change, feed, burp, we would dance and sing and she would fall asleep.
There is nothing more precious than a sleeping baby!
I even managed a short hoop workout in the trailer, with Gracie supervising!
It's a good thing I got my hoop workout in early, because after over an hour of baby dancing, I have a very sore hip! I am going to end this post right here and lay on ice!
Love is worth the pain and sacrifice. I am going to sleep now; a happy, fulfilled grandma!
Good night my friends. Happy Sunday.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Love,
Zita
