My Mother Wants Grandkids

and I am in no hurry to provide them.

Yesterday afternoon, I was at a grant meeting in Collier County.  My mom, reading the newspaper, notes that the Clydesdale horses will be in town.  She leaves a voicemail for me at work -- that we should collect Mary and Lee's four kiddos and take them to see the horses. 

Yes, my Mom is not above poaching grandchildren, especially since her own kids have been so reluctant in providing her some.

I've just about washed my hands of kids.  I mean, I'm 36, no kids so far, no boyfriend/lovah/sweetie on the horizon, not looking too promising, IMHO.  My sister, however, just got married last year.  Mom's Great Hope For Grandkids.  I teased Sister about that this morning -- telling her that Mom is now poaching grandchildren since we have been slackers in this regard.

I like kids.  I would like to have my own kids.  It just isn't looking promising.

So the poaching continues.  Readers -- if you have kids in need of a fabulous wanna-be grandparent, my Mom is willing to informally adopt them.  Just let me know and I'll have her get in touch. 

As for me, I'll just focus on my career/life goals right now, as those seem to be the things that are going well in my life right now.
