I have a challenge ahead of me today.
A challenge that is not for the weak at heart, mind or body.
I must prepare my body with deep warming up exercises.
I must focus and prepare my mind for the calm.
Ooooooohmmmmmmmm.
Yes. I must be steady. Balanced. Yet, with catlike reflexes.
This will be my greatest challenge in some time.
Later today...for three hours, I am babysitting a one-month-old baby.
: Cue scary music! :
One of my dearest friends, who is very grateful to have finally given birth to that watermelon sitting on her bladder, has been able to quickly get her little one onto a nice schedule.
And so da mama is going to get her hair cut and colored today. Yes, she's *ever* so happy to be able to color her hair again (as you know, you're not supposed to do that when pregnant).
So I was all too happy to say yes when asked to come sit with the tiny princess.
But I'm no stranger to this game. I've got godkids and twin nephews and lots and lots of friends with kids.
I know what deep waters I'm wading into.
While I’m confident I know what to do...I'm also pretty sure I can't plop kibble in the bowl then walk away to go read a book like I do with The Feline.
And so...wish me godspeed on this very dangerous yet important mission!
