Um, I don’t have one. Well, aside from The Mister not being killed. That one is obvious, and I already touched on it during my previous post. So, I basically already covered my favorite moment on Wednesday on now it’s Friday and I’ve got bupkis. Unless, of course, you’re willing to help out a poor mama.
My best friend since kindergarten called me today with great news. She and her husband were finally approved for adoption! I say finally because the process had been unreasonably delayed thanks to her agency contact’s habit of keeping her head tuck firmly between her ass cheeks 99% of the time. Lucky for Kara, her contact’s 1% effective rate was today.
Being the best friend that she is, Kara knew I was in a pinch and generously offered to loan me her favorite moment. While I did have to turn down her offer for logistic reasons (Hi! I’m not really adopting but let’s pretend I am and celebrate, shall we?), it got me thinking that maybe the 5 of you and my mom some of you have had really great moments you would like to share, too. So, here’s your chance to share your moment. If you’re up to it, I’d love to hear what your favorite moment was this week. If you’ve read any of my previous favorite moments you already know it doesn’t have to be life altering.
As for me, I’ll sit here and wait for the great news I know is around the corner. I firmly believe that good always follows bad. It’s the whole “Every time God closes a door he opens a window” philosophy. I am beside myself with excitement, because if Wednesday was any indication, we’re winning the lottery right after we find the cure for cancer.
This week I had a major boo boo….my kids have been so sweet to me and each other. We went to dinner the other night and no one argued about where to sit no one argued over the crayons but they all pitched in with Cooper and were absolutely ANGELS….
Favorite moment was today actually. It’s been a long crappy week, but today the husband declared it a “fun” day. We went to the local Conservatory and took photos of beautiful tulips in full bloom. Then he held me quietly while we lit candles in a church and told me simply, “I love you because you’re imperfect.” Yep, that’s a definite favorite.
This morning as I was trying to get dressed myself (I was in a rush) my little toddler came up to me, looked at me in eye with his big smile and said, “Hug, Mommy. Hug!”. It made me stop rushing to get dressed and my heart just melted! It was the best gift ever to make me realize how lucky I was. That was my favorite moment after a very intense and stressful week. Somehow he knew I needed that hug.
Celebrating with my little guy as he turned one! I loved taking his pic. at the exact minute he was born to have for the future, loved making him a cake from scratch and loved watching him chow down on cake.
Well I don’t have cute little babies running around my house to give me favorite moments, but this week that was probably for the best. I’ve had a mutant virus for a week now and my favorite moment came when my doctor FINALLY decided I was actually sick and gave me antibiotics. Yay for antibiotics!
Misplaced country girl – I hope you didnt catch my mutant virus…urgh it had me down for 12 days….hope the antibiotics do the trick!
My favorite moment of the week was when the little one inside of me kicked for the whole morning making me laugh :)
Congrats to MJ’s friend Kara!!!!
