    Grandmom to 3 beautiful boys here, but I still work out, lift weights and oh yeah, my jeans are tight enough to show off my now tightening booty.

    Hmmm, I am a grandmother of 3... and I bake them cupcakes and cakes and cook yummy stuff for them (I don't tell them I healthy up the recipes and they can't tell the difference)... I also sing karaoke, dance poorly, can drink like a fish (but it's very rarely), and cuss like a sailor...

    I'm also the grandmother who makes them go outside and play instead of sitting inside on a video game all the time.

    I do love a rocking chair... but I don't have one...

    Karaoke is my thing, we do it a lot at my house. I dance my butt off, to Reggae & Soca that is. I love a rocking chair or a recliner, but do not have one. I told my children that I wanted one for christmas or my birthday last year, well, I am still waiting....lol

    My mum does karaoke too, so does my dad. I wish they spent time with my kids.

    My grandmother was more active than me. She tapped danced, played golf and tennis, participated in many events in senior Olympics, volunteered with a variety of organizations, was active in her church, and was constantly on the run in general, for her activities, and attending parties/weddings etc for her 7 kids, 22 grand kids, 2 step grand kids, 24 great grand kids, and 4 step great great kids.

    Yo - my Grams is 86, and does more push ups than most people I know. She does 20 every morning when she gets out of bed, and walks almost every day. She will kick your butt! <3 u grams!

    I never let people put labels on me. Those who try ..........f'em. I've been a confusing contradiction all my life, according to others. I define me and no on else.

    Well I am a grandma to two. I work full time in a demanding job, play in the community orchestra, workout at the gym 3 to 5 times a week, have a personal trainer, am training up to my 4th 1/2 marathon in a month, have a network marketing business selling children's books, and a ft husband. I don't do the cookies and special treats because .... are you ready for this?

    MY MOTHER does it all! At 82 she babysits my granddaughters, bakes, has paid employment one day a week, does the cooking, takes HER older sister to appointments and on errands, does the basic housework, leads the children's preschool programming at church and I have to work to keep track of her schedule and where she will be. Should be easy since she lives with us, but it is not.

    This proud grandma loves to chase my 4 and 6 year old grandchildren because it makes the mileage go faster. However, they conk out before I do. They also like to hit my heavy bag. They're too small to ride a Spin bike just yet lol... But they manage downward dog pretty easy!

    If my Spin students knew how old I really was - they would FREAK!:wink:
