fill-in-the-blank-ish

squish is such a fitting name for this little experiment.

it's what i do. it encompasses so much in five little letters.

squish.

i squish into my jeans every morning.

i squish my kids as they run out the door.

i squish the dishes into the dishwasher.

i squish being a work-at-home mom together with being a stay-at-home mom.

i squish my baby girl's chubby little cheeks as often as i can get away with.

i squish around in the shower.

i squish my workout in between all the squishing.

squish.

i squish everything in.

it's what you do, too.

smile! squish together a little more!

what? you squish into your jeans, too?

don't act like you don't know what i'm talking about!

it also ends with ish, which is my very favorite suffix.

stay-at-home mom-ish

work-at-home mom-ish

interior decorator-ish

artist-ish

foto-grapher-ish

landlord-ish

blogger-ish

fill-in-the-blank and add "ish" and you've got yourself a perfect description of just about anything. certainly a perfect description of me and my life. i suppose that is an indicator that i never do anything to it's full potential. because i can't do just one thing at a time.  i must be insanely busy and do many. it's a sickness. i've got myself a generous collection of hats, you could say. but i do try to wear each of them with style and panache. which earns me the "ish" part. or else the suffix might be n't. (i know that's not a suffix, but work with me)

now i've said squish and ish too many times and they sound weird. shoot.
