I cried at Taylor Swift last night.  Not because her unbelievable talent made me feel completely talentless.  Not because watching her made me realize that I too would like to play the banjo but can?t.  Not even because her bangs are so perfect and when I tried bangs shortly after Julia was born, it was not pretty, and Scott looked at me like he did at those home video childbirths they used to show on TLC?s A Baby Story.

I cried from happiness.  I was with Julia and Scott at Taylor Swift and watching Julia look with amazement at Taylor Swift made me cry.  I wasn?t obvious about it, but to myself, I took it all in.  I think any mother, except maybe Courtney Love, has those moments with their children that become everlasting memories.  For some, it is watching their child score a goal or winning basket at their game.  For others, it could be experiencing something with their children they remember doing yourself as a child. The moments could be as simple as playing a great game of Monopoly or as big as watching your child overcome something they never thought they would.

Time is moving so quickly.  I know this because my Botox appointments have been creeping up on me.  I am not going to get crazy and try to make everything a moment.  But I will cherish my good cries.  All moms deserve a good cry, and not just a week before their periods.

Most importantly, I will always make sure to have a cute outfit on for them.  There have to be pictures to memorialize the moments!!

So Taylor, thanks for my special moment.  And thanks for the style inspiration!
