Imagination

I had to write this down before I forgot. Today we were heading into town to run errands when Abby insisted that I pull over in the church parking lot (across the street from our home). I did this, and she asked Liv to open her door. Livvy and I just looked at each other like…what the heck? We were curious, so Liv opened her door. Abby then yelled for her two imaginary friends to hop in the car. She looked at me and said, “FairyFixx and Flowery didn’t want do walk all the way to our house silly,” as she rolled her eyes and instructed her sister to shut the door. She was jabbering away happily to her two “friends” when she screamed, “STOOOOOP MOM! You are going to hit them!!!” We live on a country road and there wasn’t a car in sight, so I indulged her yet again. This time the twins, Zach and Sammi, (named after my brother and his lovely wife I can only assume as their names are Zach and Sammi) jumped in the car. I stiffled a giggle at my silly daughter and started down the road again. She babbled on and on, telling them that only one of them would be allowed to come with her on the plane to Disneyland this weekend. Then she told me that another of her “friends” had stowed away in the back of our Tahoe; his name is TreeBoxx. (The names are creative to say the least. She also has LampLight and StarStool…WHO KNOWS!!) I became concerned at this point and stopped her “conversations” to ask her if she thought that these “friends” were indeed real. She looked at me like a teenager looks at her mom when she suggests something ridiculous…like buying jeans WITHOUT holes…and said, “No Mom, I am using what’s called my IMAGINATION!! Geesh!” Gee, why didn’t I know that? I mean I had only physically had to stop the car twice! Gotta love the kiddos!
P.S. Abby insists that it is FairyFixx, not her, who makes all of the messes around the house…

Waiting For My "Designer" Blog!!!

I can't wait! I just purchased an adorable "designer" blog!!! If you know anything about me, you'll know I'm all about designer...I love great jeans (especially when the size can be cut out), love to read about designer lives in trashy magazines (I know, pathetic), and I love, LoVe, LOVE a good designer purse (they ALWAYS fit). Therefore, when I stumbled upon eightcrazydesign.com and saw the lovely "designer" blogs, I whipped out the plastic! (Shhhhh, Michael doesn't know yet). I did notice the "Couture" blogs, but lets be honest...I can't really afford "Designer," so I better not fool myself by going "Couture!" I'd love to be a Couture chic, but I have to face reality. But, it's my version of reality, so I still went "Designer." :) If I was really being honest, I say to myself, "Arynne, you are a teacher. What you want and what you need are two entirely different things. Simplify." I do try to repress my material impulses, but someone smart once said, "To thine own self be true." But, hey...I warned you all with the title of my blog. So, soon I'll be blogging it up in style.

Disclaimer: It's hard to decipher in text, but much of my life revolves around sarcasm...

Attitude

I’ve had a horrible migraine for days and days. I have been feeling down and overwhelmed, and I was having myself a little pity party when my little sister popped in and shared the following blogs with me: http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ ; http://www.nierecovery.com/ ; and http://sccsdecker.blogspot.com/ . After you read about these amazing families, you’ll see that I don’t even need to elaborate. I realize that I am blessed.
