Wow... Life just keeps throwing me curve balls.

Yesterday my son sprung it on me that he has a new girlfriend and it is very serious. Then he brought her to visit. She is lovely.

The reason they haven't really told anyone is that they both have kids and they wanted to make sure things are seriously serious before they brought the kids into it.

I didn't sleep at all last night.

My two sweet beautiful granddaughters are about to have a stepmother.

AND

My son is about to become a stepfather to FOUR boys, one with special needs.

I honestly don't have a problem with being a step-grandmother. The more in our family the merrier. I am most worried about my granddaughters being stepchildren. My son's new girlfriend seems like a really sweet woman. She is mature and makes him happy. I am planning and have already started having some long conversations with my son about what this really means for his future and how he will have to relate to his wife, her sons, and his daughters for this to work.

But I am scared... very scared. More than anything I want to wrap my granddaughters in bubble wrap and keep them here with me.
