I totally thought I knew

While I go through my day I pay attention to things trying to figure out what I will write about each day. Today I thought I had it all figured out. I knew that my husband was working late tonight, so when Bailey went to bed I would have 2 hours to myself. I was SO sure that was going to be my joy today...having that quiet time for myself. As a mother and wife it doesn't come often.

Well...as most things when we try to figure them out beforehand...I was wrong. Yet again..B brings the joy.

I picked up Bailey and was holding her while I spoke with her teacher. Bailey has said "Mama" many times. But...something about the way she said it today made my world stop. I was holding her, and she looked right into my eyes and said "Mama". It was the most perfect moment of my day. Just her, looking directly into my eyes and saying "Mama", made my world stop.

It was the most amazing moment ever. It totally trumped all expectations of what I thought my joy would be today. While the time by myself was wonderful, it paled in comparison to that one moment with Bailey today.
