Breaking the Law

So I entered into this new life as a mother-in-law and Grandma-to-be. I have struggled with my relationship with my new son-in-law, there is just no practice for this gig and I have a knack for saying what I think. There is no filter between my red head and my big mouth. I consider it charming, but understand some people (who didn't come from my womb) might find it disconerting at first.

My daughter and I work together and get along perfectly. She calls me her best friend. Her new husband is just not that happy with the fact she tells me EVERYTHING. In fact, I'm not entirely comfortable with knowing everything in their newlywed life. We made it thru the wedding planning and wedding without a blow up and as long as I don't contradict him about his giant Malamute puppy, we probably won't draw blood.

But Izic is on the way, my joy, my heart and something I have dreamed of since I squeezed out my first baby. He is due on April 2, 2010. I am praying that he is born on the 1st of April, as that is my favorite day of the year. He will be my little fool.

I will chronicle the things I learn, relearn and amuse me on this blog and hopefully when Izic is all grown up it will make him giggle and blush. Today, I broke all the rules and used my husbands credit card to buy an overpriced crib set that only I love. Everyone will be pissed, but I don't care. Izic will like the whales and the sailboats. I could have got the nearly new crib set at the thrift store for $20.00, but this Grandma stuff is like Crack and I just couldn't resist.

So the power struggle begins!
