Milestones

First of all, Happy Birthday Sophie! She's one month today, and I can hardly believe it. It went by so fast. (Probably because things went a lot better than I thought they would. Thanks again to Steve for passing on his temperament to the little squirt.)

Also, I've joined the ranks of the Target mid-day mom shoppers. A year ago, I would run a work errand at Target during business hours and notice that 99.9% of the shoppers at that time were moms with their kids. I thought to myself, "Oh, how quaint," and looked forward to the day where I could leisurely wander through Target at 12:30 PM without a deadline to meet or a load of work to dive into.

Yesterday I made a trip up to American Fork to have lunch with my work buddies and afterwards Sophie was still asleep, so I thought I would sneak in a quick trip to Target. I loaded her carrier up on the cart and off I went. As I wandered through the aisles, I realized that I was no longer a working girl just running a quick errand, but a mom running an errand. And I also realized that there are no such thing as "quick" errands anymore and that, although I don't have deadlines to meet, I still have the somewhat predictable "feed me" time limits that I have to adhere to. Luckily I made it off the freeway in Provo just as Sophie began to wake up and realize she was hungry.
