"I Always..."

I don’t know about general rules that I live my life by but I do have some “I always…” statements.  Hope you enjoy this rare glimpse into my strange life.  Ali

I always look at my children sleeping before I go to bed.

I always subconsciously cross my big toe on both feet over the toe next to it and slightly wiggle them off and on with rhyme but without reason when I’m sitting down.

I always laugh at commercials where people either fall down, get hit in the head with something, or both.  It gets me every time.

I always count while I pee…it’s true.  I’ve done it since childhood.  I cannot explain.  (okay, I might have to delete this one…tmi.) 

When eating in a restaurant, after factoring in being left handed and being able to sit next to Claire so she can eat off of my plate, I always sit in the seat where I will be least likely shot in the back.  I am a strategist. 

I always save the best bite for last.  Always- whether it is a bite of cake with the most icing, dorito with the most cheese, or part of the pancake with the most syrup and butter on it.

I always get internally irritated when someone takes a bite off my plate and they choose what I had deemed from the beginning the best bite.  I just don’t know where to go from that point especially since I always eat the second to the best bite first.

I always have the ability and desire within me to sleep for fourteen hours a day- but I rarely get the chance- which is probably good.

I always feel better no matter what happens when Kyle tells me “Everything is going to be okay” whether or not it really is going to be.
