Thursday Thirteen - Slacker catch up edition


Friday, October 17, 2008, 5:32:05 PM

I've been off my game. Here's two in one to catch up :)



Thirteen fond childhood memories


Playing in the “hose” out front, and making boats and cars float down channel made of steel that dad had laying around.

Eating fresh fish, lobster, and conch very often

Going out on the boat on the weekends

Always having family around

Going to CB Smith, Markham and T.Y. Park on the weekends

My neighborhood

Walking to school – all three – elementary, Jr. High and Sr. High

The lady that lived down the street from Norway who let me swim in her pool

Hanging out with my cousin

Going to sea world with mom and JoJo and the kids

Ginnie Springs

The “pond”

The mattress trampoline



Thirteen not so fond childhood memories

Always having to leave the house on Christmas day and go to someone else’s house

My Grandpa Wood dying

Getting into a car accident at 16

A memory a five year old should never have

Third grade multiplication tables

Being spanked

My dad being carjacked

Being broken into and having a strange man found hiding in our bedroom while we were asleep

Babysitting during the summer break

My dad being weird and not letting me hang out at my aunt’s house

Being grounded

10th and 11th grade

Having an anxious moment today... - from my spaces.live blog

Having an anxious moment today...

Sunday, October 12, 2008, 8:19:38 AM

Things that scare me.



Losing a family member.

Losing one of my cats. I am better off for having them in my life, even knowing they will eventually leave me, but I love them so much, I can’t imagine life without them.

Having a family member get seriously ill or injured. I feel like our family has been so lucky, but the law of averages always hangs over my head, and our family is so large, it is just inevitable that something will happen eventually.

Being a good mom. I want to be a mom so badly I can’t stand it. I’m afraid I won’t do it correctly.

Being overprotective because of the above.

If I’m a mom, having a child die or get seriously injured.

If I'm a mom, having my child get into a situation like gangs, drugs or alcohol where I can't help them.

Not having enough money to keep my house.

Not having enough money to retire and live comfortably.

I know there are other things, but these things are weighing heavily on me today.

Change the software for my DVR, so I mistakenly delete the season premiere of NCIS, and I totally miss recording the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy.

Should I be upset that - "We will not talk about this again", "You are like a three year old", "I am the boss of you, and you will do as I say" were actually said to me - by an adult - today.

Or should I be more upset that the things I took from that conversation are - "You are more stubborn than any person I have ever known - and I have no chance again that kind of stubborn", "You think very little of me", and "Who is really the three year old here"...

Oy.
