alone (well, kind of)

i am home alone, except for my daughter sleeping in the next room. i'm home alone a lot, during the day... but not at night time. so, this is somewhat newer for me.

i don't mind being home alone during the day. but, i'm not entirely comfortable at home alone at night.

i'm horribly paranoid, and usually edgy when i'm here with just savannah. i'm not precisely sure why. but i don't enjoy it.

wallace is on hilton head island, south carolina, on a business trip. and, i think that's awesomely cool for him. i've never been to hilton head, but i've heard loads of great stuff about it. it's very classy and pretty. and you all ready know how i feel about the ocean...

but, i did have a good day today, doing a lot of nothing in particular with maura. she took us out to lunch, and we wandered around virginia highland (atlanta in-town neighborhood). we chatted with one another and with ms. savannah.

we took her to a park, where she rode on a playground swing, and slid down her first slide. she had a very full day.

we smiled a lot, thanked many people for saying how sweet, precious and cute ms. savannah is...

i'm still terribly impressed with the kindness of some people whom i've talked to regarding savannah. some people ask questions about babies to be polite, and then smile and nod when you answer their questions. some people realize just how miraculous savannah's birth and life have been, and are very interested in talking to me. and, some people are even kind to tell me what a good mom i must be, with as well as she's doing.

and even if those people are only trying to be kind, they make me feel almost as good as savannah does when she looks at me with her immense and shining brown eyes.

there are many things that i think that i'm good at, and many things i've tried hard at being good at... but being a mom, has been the best and most rewarding so far. and hearing someone tell you that you are a good mom, feels really great.

so, i'm a little lonely, a little tired, but happy this was a good day.

i'm listening to the forrest gump soundtrack, borrowed from maura today for a little while longer... and then crawling to my (sadly) empty bed.
