Afternoon Contemplation

So in the rare moment that i find myself being able to sit and surf the net as my daughter is quietly snoozing, i find myself staring at her and wondering "How did i get here??". It's not a bad thing for me to think this, i think it's because i used to look back on the past and think...really carrie? What were you thinking? or i wish could change that. But i see now that all roads pointed here. I went down the road of "the wrong guy" numerous times till i found the right one and i couldn't imagine my life without him. Especially now that i look at Kylie snoozing in her car seat; i see both her daddy and myself in her and think that is the greatest thing.

At Target today, a little old man stopped to peer in at Kylie. He asked the normal questions...how old? Boy or girl?(She was wearing pink today...lots of it) I gave hm a break on the boy or girl question cuz he was so nice and such a sweatheart. Then he looked at me and said..."I have three girls, the time went by really fast. So you make sure to hug her everyday and enjoy your time with your husband and duaghter as a family." Then he actually patted my hand and walked away. I almost started crying in Target! So i think that is my reasoning for my afternoon contemplation...i guess i just took a moment to "stop and smell the roses"
