Where's my head?

Just a sample of where my head is at these days... I'm standing in line to return a movie at the Redbox kiosk. I get to the machine to insert my rental only to find out that I am putting an empty case into the box. 
Yes, I left home to return a movie and left the movie in the DVD machine.... really! To make things worse I turn around and storm off with the empty case in my hand and everyone is looking at me like I am crazy... including the pregnant woman behind me. I am so frustrated with myself. 

On a lighter note, I spend the day with my mom having lunch at Marlow's Tavern, walking around the Avenue and seeing the movie, Silver Linings Playbook. I didn't know much about the movie but saw that it had received eight Oscar nom's so I figured it was worth a watch. 
This movie really resonated with me as both of the main characters are going through their own life complications, which are no way related to mine but I could feel for them. Pat, played by Bradley Cooper is a believer in silver linings; his mantra is "excelsior," the Latin word for "ever upward." As he struggles to stay balanced, we cheer him on with a firm belief that he can step off the emotional rollercoaster he is on and put things right. This is a great "feel good" movie with a great ending. I know that i'll be cheering for it on Oscar night.

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...

I saw you in a dream...

  Madison Sophia Young Born into Heaven Sunday, November 18, 2012 I saw you in a dream Before you were real I can't explain the way I feel Don't ask me to try It makes my heart cry Love created the seed that attached itself to my heart The seed became a life To me became a part The mystery of how it begins we will never know What makes a seed begin to grow What makes a heart begin to beat Growing little hands and little feet What makes it look like you or me Is simply just a mystery The cosmic force that makes me whole Is bound up in your little soul You hold my hand from inside out I feel you turn and dance about I don't know what's in God's plan He took you by your tiny hand Your beautiful little angle face Is now a part of time and space Your purest soul that's ever been Will never ever be touched by sin I cry, I weep, I cannot sleep I think what might have been Thank you for the joy you...

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...
