Cheerio!

I was sweeping at work today (I picked up a brunch shift at The Grand) and I found a cheerio mess under a table. My thoughts immediately went to Edee (who is newly in love with the little o's), which my thoughts often do, and I was overwhelmed how one little cheerio had me thinking pretty hard about life.

1. I'm 100% Mom. I know this because even when I have time away from Edee, work or fun, I'm still thinking: is she sleeping yet? should i check with the babysitter? when did she eat last? when did she poop last? And...I'd rather be at home with her.

2. I still can't believe my daughter, MY very own daughter, has 2 teeth, is trying to crawl (but can only go in reverse), has a vocabulary of 4 words, and is undeniably beautiful.

3. I spend more time in the baby food aisle when grocery shopping than any other aisle. And I can't help but quickly veering the cart into the baby clothes, "just to look" EVERY time we almost go passed it.

4. I couldn't do this Mom thing with out the Dad person in our lives. I'm not a Jesus freak but God made a Mom and Dad for a reason, of which I now know. Single Mom's out there, HIGH FIVE!

5. I planned my life up until this point and accomplished the goals in the order I wanted too. I just never imagined how hard, how crazy, how fun, how surprisingly great it would be. I never imagined the love I would feel when I got here.

I finished sweeping the floor. I never would have thought one little cheerio could make me think and feel so many things.

Keep Loving.
