Proud Mama Moment

So today was one of those good days that ya have that when you lay your head down at night you think, everything is gonna be alright.

There are moments in my life when all the craziness is set aside and something happens that I think WOW maybe I am not a total failure in this circus we call life.

Today was the Christmas program at school. My Mom generally goes with us every year. Today she had called and talked to Kate and told her she wasn't going to go because she was sick. Well my daughter being Ms. Attitude that she is immediately says "Fine, I'm not going". Kate threw a fit for a few minutes, like she usually does. It passed and I never thought any more of it.

Andy was down at my Mom's house helping her clean up a bit because she is SUPPOSED to be getting her dog tomorrow. YAY!!!! (ANOTHER LONG STORY!!!) When Andy came home, I was sitting @ my computer finishing yet another scrap page. He came in the room and sat down in the chair next to me. He said "Mom, Kaitlyn really needs to call Grandma and apologize" That was all he said because he began to cry. Andy doesn't cry very much but yet he is a very emotional kid, especially when it comes to Grams (they are VERY close). He sat there with tears rolling down his face and told me that he walked into Gram's bedroom and she was crying. If Andy never succeeds in anything else in life, he will ALWAYS have a heart of gold. The compassion he has for people is unbelievable.

Later in the day, when we were getting ready for the program. I was looking for some earrings and Andy said "Mom you look really nice". I never hear that from anyone and Dean NEVER says it so it is even more of a boost when my son notices that I have attempted to dress my self up a bit for the occasion.

Funny, when I got pregnant with Andy, I thought my whole world was over. Who'd of thought just how much happiness he would bring me.

Another one of life's blessings in disguise.
