Baby Dolls, Prune Juice and Veggie Hot Dogs

I love being a Grandmother! I can entertain my grandkids while torturing my kids at the same time. I bought a new toy today to add to the playroom that I have set up for the grandkids. I got a cute, cuddly, pink clothed baby doll that coos and giggles and sucks a pacifier. It came with a pink and brown polka dot stroller. I intentionally got it for the boys. At Christmas I got a baby for Addy and the boys played with it probably more than she did. It was a good purchase because Nicholas and Jax played with it today, and they loved it! Jax would take it and cuddle it and say "come here, your fine." Nicholas was more interested in the purse that I gave him to use as a diaper bag. Bryan came to pick up Nicholas and saw the doll and immediately started poking it and shaking it to make it talk. "Daddy, don't shake the baby." Even Nicholas knows how not to treat a baby. Bryan and Brad will thank me one day when their boys grow up to be loving nurturing fathers.

Lunch time was fun as well. I thought I would try out the soy based hot dogs on the boys see if they could tell the difference. Put a little ketchup on em and you couldn't tell the difference. "I'm thirsty Nanu." "How about some juice?" (1/2 apple juice and 1/2 prune juice.) "Nanu, what is that?" "Oh, it's apple berry juice." "Ooooh." My only regret with the prune juice is that Sarah is out of town this weekend and so she won't see the fruits of my labor. Sorry Bryan, Brad and Amanda. No, you know what? I'm not sorry! I have your children's colon health to look after. When the boys have their first colonoscopy and it comes back clean, the doctor is going to say: "It must be from the prune juice that their grandmother gave them as children." Again, everyone will be thanking me.

Reality

Ok, I think I'm back. If you've never had a bout of clinical depression you probably have no idea how I have felt over the last month or so. If you have, you know exactly how terrible it can be. That is my reality! Enough said!

Now on to TV reality.
I have to comment on the final episode of the bachelor and the "After The Final Rose Show". First of all, I predicted that he was going to pick Melissa by the second show. Not because I had psychic insight into his love connection, but because they showed previews of the proposal and I recognized her hand. I was happy, because they seemed like a good fit. I think Melissa is adorable. I kind of knew something was up because of an article I read in Entertainment weekly. It made mention of a love triangle. However, I was not prepared for what happened on the "After" show. Melissa got dumped on National Television! How crazy was that????? I loved it though when she called him a "bastard". You go Melissa! I think Jason is getting a bad rap . Granted, he should never have proposed and been so dramatic professing his love, but he was probably caught up in the moment. The heart wants what the heart wants! I blame that bitch Deanna. If she hadn't come and confused him with her visit he probably would have picked Molly. I'm still not sure what her reason for seeing him was????? She's screwed him over twice now!

Real or staged? I don't care, it's entertainment. I have to watch something while I crochet.
