Retirement and the Nanny

As I sit here after my wife retired last week and has gone to take care of the grandchildren for a while, I have the time to do a few things around the house that have been lacking for some time. I have kept busy doing several things so far this week. I have hardly had any time to get on the computer and see what is going on. I will say this however, since I have been taking care of the grandkids for the past three years and being at home while my wife is taking care of the grandkids it feels a little strange. I suppose I will get used to it however. Yesterday I had the chance to do a few things in what I call my tool room. I put in a counter that will give me some space to work. I have make a few places to use for storage of parts and etc. Hopefully if this continues I will be able to make a place for almost everything. Hopefully. How am I going to adjust to having the free time and not with the kids every week. I really don't know the answer to that at this time. At this time I am having a few mixed feelings about this situation. I guess that comes from taking care of them for so long. However time will tell so I will just wait and see. Its not like I won't seem them any more. Maybe now I will be able to just be the Grandpa and enjoy them on an occasional visit. Maybe I will enjoy that more. I have however made a lot of friends in Maryland where the grandkids are and I will miss not seeing them as often. The church family I have in Maryland has been a real blessing to me. I will not forget all that they have done for me.
