Well, it's Monday so of course I'm writing in my blog. :) It's actually in the afternoon though and not late at night, so that is a bit different.
I said I was going to talk about my growing up.. It will be very random just so you know.. Cause I will remember things as they come up and you never know what is going to make a certain memory come to mind.
First of all, I would like you to know I was an Awesome little kid.. Blond hair, big Brown eyes and very sweet and polite and laughed a lot about everything. So, Now you are wondering, what the hell happened to me right?? lol
Well I guess you will figure it all out as I blog along in the next days and weeks.. :)
The first real memories I have are of getting my hand slapped for reaching for something on a shelf.. so I'm figuring I was about 2?? Next memory I have is falling thru a kitchen chair. I guess my mom told me to sit down, but I don't remember that part. I just remember the seat falling thru and this sharp metal piece scrapping from my ankle to past my knee. Straight up the middle of my leg and I was bleeding. I think I was probably around 3 then. I still have the scar to this day. I also remember being out running around in a yard with my cousins barefoot and stepping on a tac and having to pull it out of my foot.. I was still probably 3 then. Funny how all the painful memories stick and the others fade away. lol
I guess that is why you need to compliment your children tons more then yell at them so they grow up feeling good about themselves.
When I was 4 we moved to Des Moines. I think before that we lived in Waterloo. We also lived in Oklahoma for a bit and Texas a bit and Cresco a bit b4 moving to Des Moines. I guess my parents were just trying to find out where they fit in.
Anyway, we moved into a one bedroom Apt. over in the Hood.. I'm NOT kidding.. It is Still the Hood to this day.. Although as a child it didn't seem scary to me at all.. but back then you really didn't have people standing around during the day like you do now.
I walked myself the 4 blocks to school and home by myself and my mom would let me walk up to the store by myself too. I don't remember ever being scared.. of course I was only 5 and had no real sense of what danger was other then someone trying to kidnap me..
I pretty much liked school once I started in Kindergarten.. I remember in head start my parents took me there for a open house kind of thing and I saw a bunch of kids finger painting and I thought that was so stupid.. Why would they get their hands all dirty? I had a real problem about getting my hands dirty when I was a kid..lol I can handle now but it took me til I had kids of my own to push past it..lol
In Kindergarten I made lots of friends, but I come home upset the first week of school because my mom had my hair cut in a boy haircut, very short and above my ears.. So I was upset that the little boys would chase the little girls but they wouldn't chase me because they thought I was a boy too :( So from then on my mom let me grow my hair longer.
I also got switched classes in Kindergarten because I had the older teacher and I liked to Talk, a lot to everyone..and she said she just couldn't keep up with me, so she switched me to the class with the younger teacher..lol
You know how people say you have rocks in your head? Well when I was 5 and at recess, I was hanging from one of the uneven bars by my legs. I don't know what happened but my legs just let go and I fell on my head in the gravel. When I got home My mom had to dig pieces of gravel out of my head..So when people say I have rocks in my head I just tell them, Nope my Mom got them all out..lol
Wow, this is going to take forever to tell about my life.. I've written all this and I'm still only to 5 years of age.. lol.. And people wonder why I don't write a book about all of it.. lol
K.. I may be back later tonight.. don't know.. but I'm stopping here cause I have things I have to get done around this house. :)
Hope you are all having a Good Monday!!!
