validation

every day i tell finn i love him about a million times. sometimes i'll switch it up and tell him i love his face or his lips or his stinky feet etc etc. it finally paid off today. he came over to where i was sitting on the couch, sat down beside me, leaned his head on my shoulder and said "i wuv your body, mom." then he slid off the couch and went to play legos. i freaking love this kid.

can you feel that? it feels like...snow

it hasn't. yet. which also means it isn't. yet. but, i have a feeling in my bones and soul and cold toes that it's coming. soon. it is the mid-end of october, after all. we're used to seeing those soft, fluttery flakes around now. it's already been spotted on the tippy tops of the mountains. finn keeps telling me that when it snows, it's christmas. and i kind of love that idea. why not begin celebrating the best of all holidays as soon as the snow falls? this kid of mine, he's a little genius. we should take more cues from our children i think. (perhaps not the gummi bears and chocolate milk for lunch, however.)

last night, i slept with adam levine

i know, i know. sounds very risque and sooo unlike me, doesn't it? i'm pretty sure it was the result of these pregnancy hormones and mind games. don't you worry your pretty little heads, though; i told mor all about it when he got home from work this morning. (maybe that's another reason it happened : mor wasn't home, so i found comfort in the arms of my maroon5 frontman.) mr levine isn't necessarily the guy i would have consciously chosen to star in my dream, but the choices we make in our dreams aren't conscious, are they?
