Moments of of the New Year

This year is off to a crazy busy start. I would share it all but here are some of the top ones.

Scariest Moment: 
When I realized it was 2P and that I should get lunch...and then instantly remembered I had turned the stove on at 11A. And never shut it off. Oh, and I was almost an HOUR away from home. Yea. Tell me I wasn't imagining myself shifting through charred ruins!

Sweetest Moment:  
When Miss B woke up one morning, crawled out of bed and kissed me on my lips and said, "Hi Mama!" as she ran out to the living room to look for her daddy and play with her toys.

Laziest Moment: 
When I accidentally fell back asleep and for another 20-30 minutes while my daughter played peacefully in the living room. Oops.

Irritating Moment: 
When our pediatrician told me to put my daughter to bed, lock the door and let her cry and scream it out. Post to come.

 Intimidating moment: 
It's a long story that I'll post about soon but I registered at the local community college to finish up my AA and hopefully transfer to finish up my BA. It's scary being 27 years old and not knowing what you want to do.

Heart-in-the-pit-of-your-stomach moment:
Not even a week into the new year and getting a call that my beloved grandfather, who I (and the rest of the grandkids) lovingly call Poppy, had a racing heart and was having difficulty breathing. My mom and gramma raced him to the hospital where, as much as we may hate to admit it, we almost lost him. It's scary when someone is ok one day but so fragile the next. A week later, he's still in the hospital trying to stabilize his breathing but we're lucky he's still alive and healing. Life can be taken any day...any instant...Don't take it for granted.

Proudest Moment:
After a long few weeks of getting everything in order, completing urine tests and background checks, M finally started his new job. I can't describe how proud I was when I woke up that morning to give him the final lookover and send him off to his first day. I was so happy I could have cried.

Life's been busy...But when is it not?
