I can take Miss Cleo

Ok, seriously, this blog is so not about tooting my own horn. I believe we all have God-given gifts and how we choose to use them and display them determines how we they develop, or not. So, that's my disclaimer. I will now proceed with telling you about the coolest fucking thing to happen to me today.

I have been priveledged to experience some pretty cool stuff. One such "stuff" is sometimes I know things before they happen. Sometimes. :)

So today I was taking my oldest to ballet. She takes it from a huge ballet company locally through a baptist church. When you go in the church you have to walk up a very large staircase then at the top go left and down a small staircase to get to her room. I was following her up the stairs with my baby on my hip. As soon as I was on the stairs I had what I can only describe as a vision of a baby (I first thought my baby) falling down the stairs because she had been playing at the top. (She's a new crawler.) I shook it off and kept going upstairs. Once at the top, I instinctively looked to my left toward the other staircase. I am not shitting you about what happened next.

Teetering at the top of the small staircase was a baby. She had crawled over while her mom was tending to tying her sister's ballet shoes. She was about to put her arm down on the first step when it registered to me and I managed to get out, "Oh! Oh! Oh! Baby! Baby!" Her mom said OH MY GOD! and grabbed her up before she could fall. I stll can't believe how it happened. I had chills for probably ten minutes after. All I can say is I am thankful I saw what I did so I actually did't have to see what I could have.
