Geesh, its been over a month since I've been on here. Don't think I haven't been reminded, cause I have. Just been a bit busy.... and lets face it, when I have a moment to stop, I am reading a book.
I can't help it, I am an book addict.
Anyway, I noticed something last week and I thought I would share.
See, being that I grew up in Orange County it seems as though I haven't been privileged to the same things as I have now that I live out here in the "Inland Empire."
Now as I've mentioned before we have farm's out here, and Homes that board horses. We have a place that I pass every other day, that trains race horses (which is really neat to watch). There are dairies, wineries, and traffic because we are waiting for the tractor to mosey down the road to his other field.
These are things you don't often encounter whilst living in a city like the one I grew up in. Which leads me to what I noticed last week, at the school. After I dropped Jacie off, sitting in the line full of cars waiting to exit the parking lot, I see a man, probably in his late 20's, early 30's with overalls on........... I did a double take. Why?
Well, because where I came from you NEVER seen a guy wearing overalls, unless he is 90 years old and visiting from Iowa to get away from the farm to take the misses to Disneyland.
OR it was the 1990's and some R&B group brought it back by spray painting the overalls and unhooking one side.
Now I'm not saying he looked weird, I'm not judging him. I mean he looked as if he was headed off to work after dropping his kid off, but it just struck me funny. Its a new world and I am in the same state and just an hour away from where I grew up. I am still in awe of my surroundings and if I point something out, that is amazing and different to me, my kids look at me like I'm a weirdo. lol...
Ok, they aren't far off, but that's another story. Anyway its been almost 10 years since we've lived here, and some things just crack me up, and I have the need to share..As you know.
Ok, moving on, I think I will share one of my least favorite memories I have given my poor daughter. So, because Jacie loves the sun shine whenever she gets home from school she will go in her room and open her blinds. After taking a shower she went into her room and turned right around and came into my room to ask if I could close her blinds because it was dark, and freaking her out! I got up and teased, "why Jacie, are you afraid something will be in your window and say "Hi, Jacieeee." She just
looked at me and laughed nervously and said "stop Mommy!"
I laughed and saw her dark window, and right when I walked through her doorway, I turned suddenly, and said "OH MY GOSH THEIR IT IS!!!!" Jacie jumped, screamed, and instantly started crying and clung to my side.
Oh my gosh I felt HORRIBLE!!!! Not only was I was the reason for her to be so frightened that she was sobbing, but who does she run to?? The one that scared the crap out of her, and probably made her forever deathly afraid of dark windows.
Yep, that was a sad moment, and I'm pretty sure I won't be getting mother of the year any time soon. Now, don't get me wrong, if this had been my awnry son who loves scaring ME. I would have gone to much greater lengths to scare that little bugger. I probably would have put a mask on, went out into the dark side yard and waited all night for him to come into his room to see the scary sight.
He woulda jumped a mile and laughed till he cried. Jacie? Jacie (like myself) does NOT like to be scared and does NOT like when you scare other people, because she is so sensitive to others feelings. Yep, I felt pretty awful, but I tried to make it up to her, and of course because she is Jacie, she forgave me very quickly.
To make it up to Jace, her and I had a sleep over in the living room. Because of this, this morning I woke up with two small itchy bites on my arm!!! Ugh, great! Now my imagination is going wild! Was it a big hairy disgusting spider?
Was it a weird, disgusting crazy ugly bug that is crawling freely around the house? OH MY GOSH, what if it IS a spider and it bit my arm and crawled up my nose!!! Don't worry (because I know that you are) I made sure to blow my nose to make sure it wasn't laying eggs or something. UGH!! EWWW!! Again, I am grossing myself out. Nope, I'm sure it crawled in my mouth and I swallowed it. Oh for cryin' out loud.
Ok, so on that note, I am planning on having a better weekend.. not scaring anyone.. on purpose. Things will be nice and easy going. So here's to a great weekend all!
