Bad mom moment!

Ok so how did my daughter end up in the middle of the street with an angel of a stranger?????!!

Oh thats right her mom is terrible. How in the world does an 18 month old escape a church?? Well I learned that just because your kid can't even begin to open a door, you cannot let them outta your sight for a second. That was my first mistake!!!! I put on her coat in the lobby and popped my head into the gym to say good bye and poof she was gone. Second mistake: I didn't look outside first, assuming she had to be in the building. Oh my gosh I have never been so scared!! When I heard 'they're out here in the street!' I just about died! A 3 year old and an 18 month old off on an adventure. Oh I am so glad they were both ok. I sat in my car and cried and cried. I have never wanted to hug a stranger so much. I didn't even get to thank her. By the time I got Kyla from my gf and thought to look up I didn't see anyone.

The full weight of what precious, innocent little children we are entrusted with really hit me today. I had forgotten how fast things can go wrong. The thought of what could have very easily happened still brings tears to my eyes. So from now on when u see the crazy mom, who won't let her child more than 3 feet away ... you'll understand that I am trying to make up for how terrible I was today.

Things I have learned!

So I was thinking over the year and reading everyones blog updates, these are the things this year has taught me:

1- Not everyone has to like me!! What? I know but it's true.
2- People change! For both the good and bad.
3- Your real friends will always be there when you need them! (Love ya)
4- The sister you hated growing up, may well end up being your best friend.
5- People are put in your life for a reason, at just the right time
6- Life goes on.
7- Not everything is a big deal! (ok so maybe I need to work on this one still).
8- Kids can fix the worst day with just a smile :)
9- Yummy treats make everything better.
10- Christmas cannot be ruined! (Though people try! lol)

Anyway I am glad this year is over and that I have learned alot. It's been an up and down year that's for sure. But I am looking forward to next year and all it holds. Especially to meet this sweet baby boy that has been making me so sick!

Well...

seeings how everyone pretty much already knows I may as well annouce that I am prego!! Yep due July 17th. I swore I would never have a July baby, but here we go! lol Guess I shouldn't have said so much. Anyway I go for another ultrasound on Friday, hopefully I will have pictures of the little one then!!
