Sometimes...

I can't stop myself from opening the door back up after Jake has just left to tell him just one more time "I love you."

I want to freeze frame moments with my family. Time changes things and I want to soak up every moment I've got with them.

I find it mildly concerning when I hear growling- like a small lioness- coming from the dining room. Layla and Dallas are working on their friendship...i.e. Dallas is working on it and Layla wants no part of it.

I want to soak up all of the ways Jake looks at me.

I decide to take the plunge and eat a donut. 

It really hits me that I'm an adult and this is real life. When did that happen?

I can't believe how lucky I am when I talk to my mom on the phone and read texts from my sister. I have these beautiful people in my life who love me so unconditionally. I don't understand it, but I'm thankful.

I feel like I never, never, ever believe that I went 6 years without eating meat. What was I thinking?

I feel like a really good person when I scoop the litter box. Its rancid and vile and I deserve a medal.
