Sometimes I'm on the cusp of posting, and then feel I have so little to say that I don't write anything. Now that my kids are getting older too, I wonder how much to put out there. Even though it's all anonymous names on my blog, I still struggle with how I feel about it all.Kids Special Needshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297507778283892422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-28701885303278023432010-03-09T14:26:43.668-06:002010-03-09T14:26:43.668-06:00You could fire up your old blog- I looked for it w...You could fire up your old blog- I looked for it when you "reappeared" and it is still there.The Accidental Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409271721074309249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-71153810322752626542010-03-09T09:30:43.103-06:002010-03-09T09:30:43.103-06:00Wow, now I need to be OCD about my toilet, in addi...Wow, now I need to be OCD about my toilet, in addition to my fear of ANTS! bleck.<br /><br />As a child, my alcoholic father would get a bee up his ass and decide to remodel (tear down a wall, open up a floor, etc.). He never finished these projects, saying he didn't have a dad to show him how, even though he owned every Time Life Home Remodeling and Project book they ever published. But I digress. Anyway, my dad "remodeled" my bedroom closet into a desk space and built in bookcase. The bookcase amazingly was installed above the desk area, but the floor was never put back in. Oh yea, My bedroom floor was open into the crawl space. Growing up with the disfunction as such a mainstream part of life, it did not ever dawn on me that this could be a problem. Until I woke up one day with an ant infestation all over my room, including on me and my bed, and in my bed. You know the drill. I screamed and literally blacked out. I have no memory of what happened after that moment, other than later in the day my mom shut the door and put a bug bomb in there. Problem solved. Except for the part that my dad never covered the floor. <br /><br />sigh. As I imagine you can predict, we left my dad when I was 16, due to many problems that ensued of his (I'm assuming) mental illness.<br /><br />We are thankful our children do not grow up with these horrors.<br /><br />I would have done a blog post, but I'm virtually non-existant in BloggerLand currently.Kids Special Needshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297507778283892422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-56309986568739074902010-03-03T15:45:14.438-06:002010-03-03T15:45:14.438-06:00Don't feel too bad about spiders.

We have lots of "Jorge" stories about bugs in our house. When he first arrived he would avoid any room which he'd seen one. By the time he left, I'd convinced him to "man up" and take care of them. Those stories are even funnier. The ones of him hunting down bugs. I feel I've done my jog in promoting world peace. One day his wife will thank me.Corrie Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02107352260276921770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-85325236271608077772010-03-02T08:45:29.982-06:002010-03-02T08:45:29.982-06:00It's not too late to burn it.It's not too late to burn it.shastastevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280161146135058117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-13124039414040597882010-03-02T08:13:41.981-06:002010-03-02T08:13:41.981-06:00I'm not really crazy about spiders but wasn...I'm not really crazy about spiders but wasn't really terrified until I read your post.

I had to skip by it with my eyes closed and then slowly go back upwards...so I missed part of your writing.<br /><br />I practically failed a college class because it had a photo of a spider in the textbook, and I never knew when somehow the book might fall open to that page. Eventually, I figured resale value be damned (and you know I don't use that word lightly) and I tore the page out. Finally - I could study!<br /><br />I never (praise God) had a real-life traumatic spider experience unless it is yet to be discovered in therapy, but my phobia could match yours any day. However, thankfully I now live in not-very-many-spiders-Michigan (should be part of their publicity campaign) so I am less crazed than in my previous environs.<br /><br />I Oregon, I hate to say there were a LOT of spiders. Especially in Eastern Oregon, but I had literally some sixth sense. I really didn't need to scan all that much (though I DID) because I just KNEW. One time Craig and I were watching TV in a dark room, and I suddenly said "I think there is a spider in here." And I turned on the light and went unerringly to the far side of the living room where there was a brown spider on the brown carpet that he couldn't even see when I pointed it out with my shrill screams (as he is the one who has to "deal" with them, in the absence of the vacuum cleaner.)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484148947744118811.post-65953288212281707982010-03-02T00:35:42.947-06:002010-03-02T00:35:42.947-06:00And I'm the first to post my link - probably b...And I'm the first to post my link - probably because I already had insomnia, and now I won't be able to sleep because of that disturbing spider picture. <br /><br />:D JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281420407748540105noreply@blogger.com
