Never Have I Ever....

Before June 10, 2008 I would have said:

Never have I ever had someone toot in my face and think it is hysterical

Never have I ever cheered someone on as they try to burp and then issued a proud "good girl" at their success

Never have I ever been so glad to see a poopy diaper after a few days without one

Never have I ever allowed someone to scream at me for no good reason

Never have I ever wanted to buy clothes for someone else more so than for myself

Never have I ever bitten someone else's fingernails

Never have I ever been more willing to carry around a few extra pounds for a little while

Never have I ever woken up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason and felt compelled to go make sure another human being was breathing

Never have I ever taken so many pictures of one thing

Never have I ever been so quick to forgive and forget

Never have I ever been so content just being at home

Never have I ever loved someone so much, so quickly

Never have I ever felt so responsible

Never have I ever wanted someone to smile at me so badly

Never have I ever lived on so little sleep

Never have I ever appreciated my parents so much

Never have I ever loved my husband more

Never have I ever understood the miracle of life in such a tangible way

This baby girl is taking me to new places each and every day!

So sweet Sally! I love the pic of little girl. She is such a doll (even though she poots in your face). :)
