Or perhaps for handling all those kiddos you have, LoL. :)<br /><br />And I really like how you spell your name!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662385948349346338.post-7132933536318338882011-08-23T19:09:16.820-06:002011-08-23T19:09:16.820-06:00Great story!

I still find myself falling back into that from time to time and I'm truly horrible with small talk at cocktail parties, but my imagination is always running wild!KM Nallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714392426676743868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662385948349346338.post-28895743968981950082011-08-23T17:34:22.308-06:002011-08-23T17:34:22.308-06:00Awesome spark story.

The girl's mom called my mom to pick me up because she thought I wasn't feeling well. Everyone probably thought I was snobby and weird, but I was just shy and wanted to go home. I got over that phase, but I have a few memories that hurt a little. I tell you what, though, just like you said, I'm very comfortable being alone, and I find myself to be perfectly adequate company :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662385948349346338.post-75627018038229629632011-08-23T11:12:58.442-06:002011-08-23T11:12:58.442-06:00This might surprise you, Jeigh, but I was also pai...This might surprise you, Jeigh, but I was also painfully shy!

I was also painfully shy as a child (and still deal with an intense fear of the dark, an I-still-sleep-with-a-nightlight-in-my-20s kind of fear). It's good to know I wasn't the only one who spent a ton of time in her head as a kid. :)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768840794020850470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662385948349346338.post-46652178508649066232011-08-23T09:02:24.473-06:002011-08-23T09:02:24.473-06:00Boy, can I identify with this.

Just made me want to find a hole to hide in.<br /><br />But you're right.
