It's official. My DH and I are now the lead generation since the last living grandparent of my kids passed away yesterday.

It's a odd feeling. I haven't read anything about how you feel when all grandparents are gone and you are the oldest generation.

I have read extensively about when you become parentless. I experienced this 6 yrs ago when both of my parents died suddenly. Now it's my DH's turn, along with knowing we are the oldest generation now. It's an odd feeling,...

I'm sitting here wasting time (a favorite thing to do at cathenation.com) waiting for my DS to get home so we can go eat.

I promised to take them to On The Border before my oldest DS goes back to college. I've never been to On the Border before but I hope I can make some rational food choices even though it's Mexican food and I'm very hungry.

Anyway, it never fails at 6 am (give or take 10 min) there she is meowing to be fed. I haven't used an alarm clock in 19 yrs. First it was the babies that would wake me, then for the last 15 yrs, the cat!

Don't despair though, if you haven't friended me yet, there's always room for more.
