I've Got This Feeling, Somebody's Watching Me

I am a people watcher. I love to watch the way people interact with each other, with their kids, with themselves.

I myself have been known to talk to myself ( and yes sometimes I do answer myself back).

When I see someone talking out loud and there is no one around I think "oh good I'm not the only one that does that",recently that happened and then after I realized they had one of those beam me up Scotty things attached to their ear and they were really talking to a PERSON on the phone.

Maybe I am the only CRAZY person, the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem, RIGHT??

Recently a girl that I have known for awhile called me to ask me a question about my son's Football team. (You know the football team that Jakob is no longer playing on because he pulled a ligament in his ankle! Have I told you all about this?) We still have been to the games to support the team, but my child has been benched by his doctor and most importantly his momma!
She told me that the night before, she saw me and my daughter at the grocery store.

When Hannah finishes swim practice we always stop at the store on the way home, she LOVES to go to the grocery with me. So my friend begins to tell me how she was watching my daughter and I, as we were picking out apples. We were both checking out each apple and making sure they were perfect. As each one of us found one that we liked we showed it to each other to see what the other one thought. Then when we were done we did a high five (I am the high five QUEEN) and gave each other a smooch (My daughter is my little smoochy monster)
Everything she said was right, Hannah and I always work as a team. She is me, just as a little person.
Correction she LOOKS, just like her daddy, but IS me. My friend then told me she didn't want to stop that evening because she could just tell I was enjoying my time with my girl. And she was right, I cherish every moment that I get to spend with all 3 of my children. Especially when I get one of them ALONE!

I started thinking about the times that I have been somewhere with the kids and the moments weren't so Kodak ready. We all have those times.

I am a "half full" kind of girl. I really do believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. And what is suppose to happen, will happen.

Some days are better than others, we as a family tend to have more better days than not.

I was very thankful to her for pointing out the beauty that she saw between me and my daughter. I think we all try and remember all the "big" things in life and along the way, we sweep the "little" things under the rug. Not on purpose, just because they weren't anything that stood out. Having someone point that out, makes me think about the little things that I have seen people do. Some of the things were an AWWW moment and some where an OH MY moment. But they were all moments in someones life they probably didn't even know stuck with someone else.

Then again I guess we all could just be a bunch of FREAKS that stand around and look at other people:):)

I'm going to stick with calling it people watching. I told you, it's always half full!!
