Squished Sleeping Quarters
Tonight I am sharing a bed with one sleeping toddler; one television watching cat; two Pillow Pets; one giant green dog, who goes by "Green Big Cup;" and one giant brown stuffed dog, who is named "Brown Big Pup." Seems crowded for a queen size bed, right? But wait, my friends, that is not all. Upon further inspection, I am also in bed with a blue Halloween pumpkin (which has a whole colony of Smurf figurines inside), and five glow sticks. Honestly? I might not get much sleep, and I might be a bit squished, but couldn't be happier.

22 things
A list is a perfect way to break out of a blogging silence! There are a lot of things in my life that I have yet to do. There are things in my life that I am sure I will never do. But here are twenty-two things that I have done. I might not be so proud of all of them, but those are the ones that are most fun to read, right?
- Fallen in love, a couple times
- Been pregnant and had one delightful, gorgeous baby
- Given up a lifelong dream, for a new one
- Gone joy riding in a car
- Danced in the moonlight
- Had my heart broken
- Witnessed a physical fight
- And stopped one from happening
- Drank alcohol straight from the bottle (ughhhh)
- Hugged a stranger (or two, or three....)
- Picked up a hitchhiker
- Snuck into an abandoned building
- Graduated from high school, college, and graduate school
- Gotten married
- Skipped class to spend time kissing in a car with the one I love
- Sang a solo (Thank goodness for fourth grade chorus concerts)
- Saved a couple of lives (three cats, and perhaps my own)
- Apologized when I should
- Forgiven even when it was difficult (mostly)
- Gazed at the stars, holding hands with a boy who gave my stomach butterflies
- Listened to advice, but chose my own way
- Held hands with a little boy, who looked up at me and said, "You are the best mommy ever."
