I really need a lawnmower....

I just had a moment, one of those This-Is-Really-nice moments. Sydney has been in bed for a few hours and I just walked into her room.

I don't normally disturb her before 7 AM because sometimes all hell can break loose and nobody wants that, do they? The only reason I went in this time is because some idiot kid just knocked on my door. Yes, it's almost 9 PM and no he didn't really have a good reason. He just wanted to know if I would like him to cut my grass tomorrow. Not tonight, tomorrow. Why this couldn't wait I'll never know.

So in between the dog barking and trying to get at him, me trying to get outside to actually talk to this kid, and worrying about the baby waking up, it was a stressful situation. I was trying to get outside and keep the houndage inside and this kid just keeps asking over and over "would you like me to cut your grass tomorrow?" Obviously I'm going to answer you if you just give me a minute, dipshit. So I finally make it outside and I apologize to him for acting so rude and explained that my daughter was sleeping. Does he apologize for knocking incredibly loudly on my door at 9 PM? No, he looks at me and says "would you like me to cut your grass tomorrow?" Idiot.

Anyway, I made my way back inside and waited for the inevitable screaming coming from the end of the hall, but there was none. Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone because my mind started traveling to all of the ailments that must be inflicting her to make her not wake up. So I made my way down the hallway and into her room. I was very quiet, until I reached the edge of her crib and bumped it ever so softly. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at me. She had a look of complete confusion. The dog howling incessantly for a whole minute at least did nothing to stir her, but the slight tap on the crib made her wake up instantly. I had to pick her up, because If I didn't she would never go back to sleep. So I stood there holding her, she was already asleep again on my shoulder. I laid her back down, covered her with the blanket, and walked out of the room.

It was just a very nice moment. I miss holding a sleeping baby; it's the best feeling in the world. So, that's my sappy moment for the day. You can tell me about yours now! Please...I need comments....
