Tagged!

I have been tagged! This is the first time that I have been tagged and so I am a little slow in my response. Dusty has tagged me and I have to write 6 words that describe how I am feeling right now, and then tag 5 others. That will be hard as I can think of 3, but I will come up with 2 more. I met Dusty through her Adoption Voyages web site, and this December we hope to meet them in person!

1. Awe- I am not sure if this is a really considered a feeling, but I feel it all the time. When I watch Shealin sleep, I am still in awe that she is here and she is mine. I love to watch her sleep. Which leads me to my next feeling.

2. Exhausted- Single motherhood is a challenge sometimes. Working all day and cooking/cleaning and keeping a 3 year old happy at night, can leave a person very tired. I often find myself falling asleep right along side her.

3. Full- I feel full for the first time in a long time. When I say full I mean my heart is full. Before Shealin, I always felt that a piece was missing and for a long time I did not know what it was. She has filled that missing piece. While she can try my patience at times, I cannot imagine my life without her.

4. Blessed- For many reasons I feel blessed. Blessed for having Shealin in my life, but also for meeting so many wonderful people along the way. I am also blessed with such wonderful friends, who have helped me before, during and after.

5. Impatient- Sometimes, I feel great impatience with Shealin, I forget that she is only 3. I also feel we should be further along with our potty training, although others tell me it will happen when she is ready, it will click. I am working on this, as I keep telling her she has no patience, hmmmm wonder where she picked that up?

6. Scared- I feel scared that our time together will be over way to soon. Not sure why I feel this way, but I do. I am scared I will never be able to give her everything I want for her and hope what I have is enough.

OK that's me in 6 strong words now to pick 5 others, so here goes I tag:

Susan - Aka Kylie's mommy. She answered all of my "waiting" questions and then some.

Kris - a great single mom to be. She takes the best pictures and writes so beautifully.

Heather - another mom to be, sooner and later. A fellow Jerseyan whose blog I love to follow.

Donna - We don't really know each other, but I follow her blog, its a great blog and they should be getting their referral in the next couple of months.

Laurie - Another single mom to be. We don't know each other, but I follow her blog.

OK, you have to write six words that describe how you are feeling right now and link back to me. Than tag 5 more people, and leave them a comment to let them know they are tagged.

Have fun ladies!
