Living with an overdue pregnant woman is like living with a ticking time bomb. We never know when she'll go off. Things have started now. The sac has been punctured. Soon I will be a Grandmother. I aspire to be half as good as the two Grandmothers that I had. I had some awesome Grandmothers in my life and they set the bar real high.
