We all know TIS never likes to draw attention to herself (with the possible exception of when someone tries to crash the line in front of her at a breakfast buffet) but she became a grandmother (for the third time) yesterday.

TIS posted the good news in the "Random Post" thread and I know many of you don't bother reading that so I'm copying her original message here.

The baby was so ready that he told her to go to the hospital on Saturday at 5:00 a.m. but thought she'd have it even sooner. She had no real symptoms to speak of except some not too bad irregular contractions

I've been at her house the since then watching the other two grandkids and trying to help her out by cleaning, cooking, etc. so she wouldn't have a lot to do when she got home. Can you believe they now release you 24 hours after delivery??? I can't get over that. She delivered yesterday at 2:30 p.m. and was home today by 2/3:00.

I do admit however, I am exhaused!!!
