Survival After Seventy-Five

      I spent today taking care of my two years old grand-daughter, Evelyn.  Her two big sisters, Olivia, eight, and Brianna, eleven-tween, are away at summer camp this week.  My son, Paul was home today taking the day off.  I was there by 7:15 a.m., to find Evelyn up and sitting all alone on the sofa.  She was happy to see me as I walked in through the back door.  We let Paul sleep-in while we sat watching Coco Melon on Netflix.  Evelyn has her own special TV package called "Kids" so it's easy to find all her favorite cartoons.      I came home a little while ago, about 7:30 p.m.  It's been a long day and I need to go over there again tomorrow at 7:15 a.m., to watch more cartoons with little Evelyn while her daddy goes off to work.      Her sisters Brianna and Olivia will be back home next week and Evelyn will go back to preschool on the days their mother, Rebekah is scheduled to work.  And then, I will go over to their house to watch  Olivia and Brianna when their p

     I'm remembering to set my alarm for seven a.m. because it is important I wake up early in the morning to spend Saturday with my grand-daughters.  Their mother, Rebekah is working tomorrow, and my son, Paul needs my help with their girls, Brianna, Olivia, and Evelyn.  Brianna is eleven and Olivia is eight and they aren't any trouble at all.  They can basically take care of themselves, but someone needs to be there for safety reasons.  Evelyn on the other hand, turned two in February and she needs to be looked after.  Over a year ago, I volunteered to go over to their house after school to be there when they came home.  It is how I can send time with them.  After school duty soon included Saturdays and sometime Sundays or both depending on Rebekah's work schedule.  Rebekah is a registered nurse in a supervisor​y position at the Women's Hospital in Houston, Texas.  Her work schedule is subject to change from week to week.  She works long, ten hour shifts about four da
