Things that scare me!
This post is written for October's Write Away contest over at Scribbit.
Things That Scare Me
1. Walking into my daughter's room, looking in her crib and finding that she has gone #2 and taken her diaper off. Poo is everywhere!
2. Spiders . . . living, dead, fake . . .makes no difference. Spiders are good for an instant heart attack!
3. Being pregnant only 6 months after delivering my first child! You laugh, but seriously, that happened. And it sure scared the daylights out of me! Yep, being a mama to two in fifteen short months is a reality check for anyone.
4. Driving in rain. I'm absolutely terrified of driving when I know the roads are wet. I feel a little out of control and I'm always afraid the car is going to slide. Ok, little confession: that actually happened. I was sixteen, it was late, I was driving in the rain and tried to make a left hand turn and then all of the sudden, I lost control and the car went spinning. I ended up in the other lane turned completely around. It was one of the scariest nights of my life. But could you not tell my Dad, please? Let's just keep this between us, ok?
Oh yes, now back to my list . . .
5. Snakes - if the heart attack from a spider doesn't kill me, a snake will. 'Nuff said! I can't even discuss them without shivering!
6. The noise our can lights in our kitchen make after being on all day, and now it's dead of night and completely quiet and yes, I'm all alone and oh my goodness, what was that noise? Some one's breaking in! I should call the police! Where's my cell phone? (fumbling in the dark) Oh wait, no! It's those stupid lights in the kitchen cooling off! Uuuuugggggghhhh!
7. Being chased. Stop laughing! Seriously, I'm afraid of being chased. Even if it's for a game or just because, don't do it! I.HATE.IT! What starts off as a game, me laughing having a good time, running from someone, turns into panic and oh my gosh I can't stop running because this person will catch me. Oh no, I'm freaking out, stop chasing me, STOP chasing me, STOP.CHASING.ME! Seriously! Grow up already!
8. And my last and only serious "thing that scares me" is cancer. It's everywhere! And everyone has it! Well, not everyone. But I venture to say that most people have been affected by it in some way or another. Either a love one has had it or a friend of a friend . . . scary! And it just shows up. You're living life, having a good time and then all of the sudden, BAM! (Did I scare ya?) Cancer! Thank goodness my faith and trust lie reside in the Lord Jesus Christ or I'd REALLY be scared!
So, I hope that you have enjoyed my list. Thanks to Michelle over at Scribbit for hosting this piece of bloggy fun! Please feel free to leave me a comment telling me what scares you . . . or are you too scared to comment?!?

Too old to be doing this . . .
My nephew's birthday party was the past Saturday. We had a great time! My brother rented this HUGE blow up water slide. I thought I would share with you a couple of photos from our big day!
Maddy is pointing out to Papa where they'll likely land . . .
Papa explains to Maddy where they'll likely land . . .
Papa rethinks sliding at his age . . .
And down they go!!

Hard lesson learned!
Ok, so this is what happens when Hubby comes home after three weeks of being away.
Look closely - that's the lining hanging out the end of the legs of the pants. What you see is my favorite Ann Taylor trousers (no, I did not pay $168 for them -- they were on sale!). They are dry clean only. Well, Hubby, seeing as he's been gone for the last three weeks, was unaware that the laundry basket held all laundry - even my dry clean items. So, in his attempt to "help out", he washed my trousers (sniff! sniff!)
His response, "I don't think it's such a good idea to put the dry clean items in the laundry basket!"
My response, "Well I never thought you'd actually wash them!"
To my pants: I will miss you dearly. You were one of 3 pairs of pants that actually fit me. You were elegant, sophisticated and brought out the best in me. I'll never forget you. Rest in peace my friend. (sniff! sniff!)

I'm back . . . REALLY!
Ok, well as you can tell, I'm still working on updating the blog. I need to settle on some sort of picture to go up top there. Then, I'll put a few finishing touches. I just can't seem to get it all the way I want it. Anyway . . .
I know I've been scarce around here lately -- I do apologize. My ex-husband's father's funeral was yesterday. The viewing was Sunday night. The family seems to be holding up relatively well. And I know this sounds selfish, but I'm glad to be back in my old routine . . . and glad to be back here in bloggy world. I may not have been posting, but I have been keeping up with my bloggy friends. So . . . I'm off to create some posts! REALLY!
