A Monday for Moments

I had a moment at Micks graduation. As I watched him walk over the stage, all I could think about was the times over the past three years when I could have been more supportive.
I had a moment when Nolan had enough of sitting through the ceremony and decided to chuck his blowpop over the balcony hitting a woman 2 stories below.
I had a moment when I was told I will no longer have a job, one I was expected to have until our move in August to Grand Rapids. Besides the crappy housing market, the crappy economy finally hit home. How does somebody in my field have to worry about a job?
I had a moment when I took one final walk through the house we called home for the past three years. Nolan's first room, Kyan's stars on his ceiling, the family room downstairs Mick spent countless hours refinishing making it as perfect as possible. I didn't cry, but had a moment.
I had a moment when I walked in the door after not seeing the boys in what felt like forever. With the move and working I was only seeing them for what seemed like minutes each day. I have never seen Nolan's eyes bigger than they were that morning. As he did a big dance from half way down the stairs when he first saw me, he took my cheeks in his hands and said,"Mommy.....my friend!" and pulled me in for a kiss on the lips. What a moment!
I had a moment when I woke up to a flooded bathroom in the house we are subleasing. I had an even bigger moment when I walked down stairs to find the kitchen underneath the bathroom flooded along with falling drywall...OH WHAT A MOMENT!
I had a moment when I thought about how lucky I am to have Deb as a mother in law.
I had a moment tonight when Mick gave me a wonderful kiss goodbye before I left for work.
