I needed a time out, and if this blog will one day be in book form {keep forgetting to order that} so my kids can look back at what was going through my mind, well, here's a little about mommy.
1. Who was the last person you couldn't take your eyes off of?
Abby. I can't believe how fast she's growing. Faster than Aidan I think...or at least how it feels.
2. Have you ever cried during a movie?
Absolutely. Heck, I cry during commercials.
3. Have you ever danced in the rain?
I think I have. Ocean City, with Sean. So maybe it wasn't dancing, but definitely played in the puddles.
4. What is your favorite sport?
To play: field hockey. To watch: baseball.
5. Is there anything that you've done, that you regret?
Oh, Yes! I try not to think of those moments as regrets but more like learning experiences.
6. Who do you have a crush on?
My husband (and Bradley Cooper!)
7. What are you afraid of?
Running out of time. And bugs, lots of different bugs, but especially the camel crickets (jumping spiders) that show up in our garage.
8. Do you have any children?
Aidan, who is 3 1/2 and the best little guy in the world. He made me a mommy. And Abby, who will be 4 months on Christmas. She's my little princess.
9. What is your first thought when you wake up in the morning?
What time is it?
10. What is something that would surprise people about you?
I wish I were more of an extrovert.
11. Do you play any instruments?
I do not, but at one point in my childhood I played the piano and the clarinet.
12. Who makes you laugh?
My kids and husband.
13. Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Sean
14. What's your favorite coffee?
I just started drinking coffee this year, and french vanilla is pretty good.
15. Are you a morning person or a night person?
I think I've turned into a morning person! By the time night comes around I'm exhausted.
16. What is your favorite book?
I really enjoyed The Glass Castle a few years back. The latest book I read and loved was The Help.
17. Do you have a collection of anything?
I don't think so.
18. What is one word that can transform our lives?
Hope.
19. Have you ever done something adventurous?
I jumped off a cliff into the water at Xel Ha on our honeymoon in Riviera Maya. That was pretty adventurous.
20. What is your favorite song?
hmmm...Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol might be up at the top. It's the song that I immediately remember every detail of dancing to at our wedding during the dinner hour even though our wedding song was Still of the Night.
21. Do you have any pets?
I have a lazy lhasa apso named Toby who is 11 years old. He's the best cuddler though.
22. What is your favorite part about life?
The little things. Time with Aidan and Abby and Sean, baby smiles, Aidan's belly laughs, and so many other things, but mostly that we're all healthy and can enjoy each other.
23. What is something you are excited about in the new year?
While not excited to give up my stay at home mom status, I'm excited to be in a new teaching position at a younger grade level working with a teacher who I will learn a ton from. Oh, and I'm also excited for June since I'll be a stay at home mom again for the summer. Not so excited about turning 30.
24. Who is your role model?
I'd say I have a couple of different ones depending on where I am in life, what I'm doing, and what the situation is.
25. Are you the same person now that you were when you were five?
Well, some might say so. I'm more of an observer than an extrovert, I can be bossy, I like to be right and have the last word, I love babies, I love taking care of people, don't like wearing dresses, like to be outdoors exploring, um, yup, same girl.

My thoughts on life right now:
I've got to get this blog into paper form so my kids can read it years from now and know what was going through my head and what kind of person I am besides just a mommy.
