Goodnight Moon

I watched my baby nephew again tonight, and he continues to show me that there really is limitless energy to be had in a 21 month old.

He is called the tazmanian devil in our family.

He is also a chatter, and has recently started using every word in the english language. So, around 9 he starts falling asleep on me. So very carefully as to not jolt him, i carry him upstairs, he is sleeping on me.

I lay him down as if i am laying him on a cloud....so that the release of him from my arms to the sheets and matress of the car bed is not felt. I do this in micro movements. It probably takes me a full 5 minutes to get him out of my arms and into the bed.

I turn away to tip toe and BAM!

HES UP! AND ITS PARTYTIME!!!!! its time to say goodnight to every thing in the free world. And thats when the genius of Goodnight moon hits me.

If you read that book, they have already said goodnight to everything under the moon.

So there is nothing left except a slink and buster and a jenny.

BFF's, Wife Beaters and Wubbys.

There are not many things that I consider myself to excel at.

Being a friend, being the best friend someone could ask for, being there when people need it in whatever way they need, is something I have always rocked at.

Maybe the only thing that has ever come natural to me, to love. Most days I feel like I was born to do it, and especially some people in my life that make it so easy to love them.

You tell me your dogs eye got poked out on a first date...I ask if you need me to sit with you at the vet ER. You tell me you hooked up with your sis in law and you dont know if you are a lesbian...I pour the jack for us.

Where I draw the line is when I am told that someday I will be able to experience such amazing love as you have had for the last 18 days. That maybe one day I will be able to understand this feeling.

I dig that you feel like no one else has ever felt that.....we all feel that way as soon as we feel it ;)

I dont like wife beaters or beaters at all. However, I resisted as long as I could and had to purchase Chris Browns CD. My current favorite is:

Its what I feel like telling the world right now as we count down to the one year anniversary....Hold up....wait for a minute.... Just can everything stop spinning for one second and let me catch my breath, let me find my footing...just HOLD THE EFF UP FOR A SECOND.

Or like the kid from Mr. Mom when he threw out his favorite wubby and said "Can I have a moment to myself please"

my BFF's should know this. They should hear me when I tell them. But they dont, and thats okay. They are lovin their life and I am loving it for them. And it reminds me, dear reader, that if you count on anyone in this world to keep you steady you had better be prepared to fall on your face. Find your footing. Steady as she goes.
