 Childhood Fears
 

Last night, the hubby and I were lying across the bed talking.

Well the way we were laying started me thinking about things that are carried over from childhood .

My feet were hanging off of the bed and that’s what triggered the childhood memories. When I was younger, I had this fear that someone or something would grab my feet or hands if I let them dangle off the bed . I don’t remember where this fear came from. I assume one too many scary movies when I was younger. Even though I know now that nothing or no one is going to come creeping out from under my bed during the middle of the night and get me, I have carried this ‘habit’ with me. I still cannot sleep with any limbs off the mattress. I’m ok with it as long as I’m just kind of laying there but if I’m actually going to go to sleep then all arms and legs aboard please, lol . It has been this way ever since I can remember.

I’m the same way with covers. Whether it be a throw blanket, sheet, comforter or whatever else happens to be around, I have to have something covering at least my butt or midsection, depending on how I’m laying. This fear I also blame on movies . I had this huge, huge fear of someone coming in during the night and stabbing me, so in my child’s mind, I thought that the thickness of the covers would protect me . And this, like the limb dangling, I realize now is not true but once again I carry this ‘habit’ with me today.

The other fear I had as a child was that something would grab my ankles from under the bed if I stepped to close to the side. So, when getting in the bed I would run and jump in and when getting out I would jump as far away from the side of the bed as I could. This fear I do not carry with me today. I calmly climb into bed and drag ass out of it . No running or jumping, lol.

It’s funny how the mind works. You would think that since I am grown and know that those fears are unfounded, that I would let go of the securities that I have placed on them but I guess ‘old habits die hard’ as the saying goes .

I’m sure if I stopped to think about all of the things that are carried over from childhood in the form of securities or fears; I would find many more. These are the one’s that I know I do and don’t care that I still do them. I don’t feel stupid or childish for doing them. It’s just a part of who I am from silly childhood fears .

 Goings on....
 

We live on 5 acres with trees surrounding all sides.  One way in and one way out..the driveway.  We can normally hear when someone pulls up and if not the dogs usually let us know someone is here by barking. 

Not this morning though.  Me, my son and my daughter are sitting here in the house.  I'm reading blogs and kind of watching Lilo and Stitch (yes I still watch cartoons at times, lol).  Anyway, my son happens to look out the window and sees a truck leaving our driveway.  No one heard it pull up, the dogs didn't bark and no one came to the door.  Hmmm.....wonder what that was all about.

Guess it wasn't important or maybe they realized hubby isn't home so they didn't bother with me, lol.  Which is probably a good thing since many of his friends LOVE to talk and talk and talk.  I can't seem to get rid of them when they get on a roll. 

The kids are waiting to go to Wally World.  As much as I hate the place, they love it....go figure.  They can walk around forever in the place and not buy anything.  Drives me nuts but being the awesome mom that I am.....hehehe....I'll take them anyway.  Actually I think my daughter is wanting to check out the video cameras.  I know nothing about them and won't be able to help her much.  Technology is not my strong point, lol.

I was going to get her to put the pictures of the puppies on here today but my oldest daughter is over a friends house and she has my camera.  I'll probably get it back with tons of pics of her and her friends on it.  On my camera now is pics from New York when we went in April, a fashion show that my oldest was in, everyday pics of family and friends, lots of pics of oldest and other friends (other than where she is now), tons of the puppies and who knows what else.  As you may can tell, I don't get them developed very often, lol.  I download them to the pc but put off taking them to actually get a print out of 'em.  Procrastination!!!  Which also happens to be my middle name, lol..

Well I'm off and running to Wally World!!!

Have a great Saturday everyone!!

 Twisted Friday Fun
 

1. 

 

2.  OSHA

"The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has determined that the maximum safe load capacity on my butt is two persons at one time, unless I install handrails or safety straps."

"As you have arrived sixth in line to ride my ass today, please take a number and wait your turn!!"

 

3.  A Priest and a Nun...

A priest and a nun are on their way back home from a trip when their car breaks down.

They are unable to get it fixed, so they decide to spend the night in a hotel.  The only hotel in the town has only one room available.

Priest: Sister, I don't think the Lord would have a problem, under the circumstances, if we spent the night together in this one room. I'll sleep on the lounge and you have the bed.

Nun: I think that would be okay. They prepare for bed and each one takes their agreed place in the room.

Ten minutes later...

Nun: Father, I'm terribly cold.

Priest: Okay,I'll get you a blanket. (He does)

Ten minutes later...

Nun: Father, I'm still terribly cold. Priest: Okay Sister, I'll get you another blanket. (He does)

Ten minutes later...

Nun: Father, I'm still terribly cold. I don't think theLord would mind if we acted as man and wife just for this one night.

Priest: You're probably right...get up and get your own damn blanket.

 

4.  A blind man was standing on the corner with his dog when the dog raised his leg and wet on the man's trouser leg.

The man reached in his pocket and took out a doggie biscuit.

A busybody who had been watching ran up to him and said, "You shouldn't do that. He'll never learn anything if you reward him when he does something like that!".

The blind man retorted, "I'm not rewarding him. I'm just trying to find his mouth so that I can kick him in the ass".

 

5. 

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

 I'm No Angel--Greg Allman
 

No I`m no angel
No I`m no stranger to the street
I`ve got my label
So I won`t crumble at your feet
And I know baby
So I`ve got scars upon my cheek
And I`m half crazy
Come on and love me baby
So you find me hard to handle
Well, I`m easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle
And I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds
I`ll bring you back some gold
I`m no angel.
No I`m no angel
No I`m no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me baby
So you don`t give a darn about me
I never treat you bad
I won`t ever lift a hand to hurt you 
and I`ll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds
I`ll bring you back some gold
I`m no angel.
No I`m no angel
No I`m no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle
Let me start a fire in your heart
Oh come on baby
Come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy
Come on and love me baby
Well come on baby.

Drive me crazy.
Drive me crazy.
Come on baby.
Come on baby.
Oh come on baby.

 Never argue with a woman
 

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the
woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
