Oh boy. It's a hot one today. I think it's at least 90 degrees out there right now and the humidity hasn't even really hit yet; a good reminder why I didn't want to be pregnant in the south in the summer time. I am truly thankful.
Today is Thursday, my Meals on Wheels day. I only have two more weeks of doing my route and then I'm no longer delivering meals. So sad! I just can't fathom taking Little on those routes with me and having to leave him in the car for even a split second, especially in this heat. I must say "good-bye" to MoW for awhile. However, on a funny/lighter note, my clients that I regularly deliver to just recently in the past month started asking me about baby. They finally got the courage to ask about Little I guess.
There's one lady in particular that has been extremely excited for us. Today when I arrived at her house, she was waiting for me on her front porch with a plastic grocery bag in hand. I waved at her as I entered her driveway and she reluctantly waved back. Hmmm. But as I got out of the car she appeared more excited to see me. She couldn't wait to hand me the bag she was holding which happened to be a gift she'd made for Little. How sweet! She said she made it herself with boy colors and that it was a crib sheet. She than reached over her porch gate (really a plastic child's gate) and gave me a hug and told me that she loved me. She had tried to give it to me last week, but I wasn't able to deliver meals, so she was extra eager today! How precious! Now mind you, this woman appears to have just about nothing and is barely making it by. One day she tried to sell me her dog she could no longer keep. I'll even admit, my first time delivering to her I was a bit skeptical and nervous, however she has been so sweet to me and consistently tells me "God Bless" and to have a "Bless-ed Day". I was quickly put to shame for making snap judgments. She'd probably allow me to stay with her all day if I wanted to and give me all the sweet tea I could handle.

This really just about brought me to tears.
Now the question is....."How does this actually fit on a crib?"....not so sure about that. It really is the thought that counts though.
