WHAT IS THE ONE BODY PART YOU WANT TO REPLACE?
You make me itch
You make me scream
You make my kids whine out my name
You make me want to scratch my nose off
By the time I'm done I look like Ruldolph
You make me look like a person with ADD
Oh how I can't stop itching me
Can I please replace my immune systems over-reaction to allergens? It is a hereditary thing passed down to me, and I have in turn passed it down to my kids...and it really sucks. Itchy, sneezy, runny, stuffy, CRANKY. And all the allergy medicine in the world is not helpful..not even the last ditch effort of getting allergy shots.
Aside from the creative writing post, I wanted to post a little on the trip to the state fair yesterday. It was reallllly fun. It was in the 90's though, so it was a little hot. I went with my friend Amy and my two daughters Alyssa and Taylor. My oldest daughter Alyssa had a wonderful time the whole time. She just laughs and squeals on all the rides...which makes me crack up to where I can't seem to catch my breath, tears streaming down my face and all. Taylor on the other hand had to warm up to the rides. She was more fearful to begin with this year than last year, which was her first year at the fair. Oh how she was mad at me when we were standing in line for the roller coaster. But I didn't want her to give into her fear...I believe that if you give into your fear that you limit yourself in life. So onto the roller coaster we went. She didn't do too bad, but she didn't do too good either. But after it stopped and she realized she was still ok, then it got better from there and she was begging to go back on the roller coaster again after we had been on a few more rides. So we went again and she was fine. Fear conquered!
We got our traditional old fashioned photo taken, and here it is........
From left to right: Amy, Taylor, Alyssa and myself.
And of course we couldn't come home without our 4 big bags of cotton candy!
Cotton Candy is the best! You are right about conquering your fears - that is great that you had her go through that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for my award, and now you have one waiting.
Glad you guys had fun and Taylor realized she would survive!
ReplyDeleteOkay. I'm 32 and still haven't conquered the fear of roller coasters but I'm okay with that particular limit!
ReplyDeleteCute picture! I couldn't get past the part where you said the temp was in the freakin' 90's?! That's just wrong.
ReplyDeleteCool picture! I've never done that before. Looks like fun. :)
ReplyDeleteWe didn't go to our county Fair this year. Instead we went to Myrtle Beach. Kids were a-ok with that. I'm glad everyone had fun.
This line is so very true: "I believe that if you give into your fear that you limit yourself in life."
