Blankies

This picture has nothing to do with what I'm going to post I'm just trying something on my computer that I didn't think would work.
I am posting on blankies and how you should never try to take anything like it away from a child.
The other day we were at Target. Everyone was in the car and I was just starting to put Thayne in when a man who was just getting out of his car next to us spoke. " I used to have a blanket like that." Me,who likes talking to strangers I will most likely never see again told the man that Thayne is our little 'Linus'.
He then started to tell me about his blanket and how his parents took it from him because he was getting to old to have it. I just felt so sad for him because Even though he had had it till he was almost 10 and it was given him when he was 2 it is still a horribly sad. And it wasn't like he took it every where with him, his parents just though that he was to old for it.When you have had something that long it is not just a comfort thing, it is an Identity thing. I know that we joke about how Thayne is going to have to get a new blankie because the other two are get more transparent as the days go by. We have tried that before. That is why there are two of them, He just adds it to the others and carries all of them around. You can't rip a kids identity from them. It'll come down to where he forgets it when we go to church one day and he won't notice till we get back. Or something of the sort where he grows out of the blankies. So just a shout out to all those parents 'cough, cough' who don't like their kids carrying things around that may look unsightly or unclean. Let the kid have it! don't hide it in the pantry... I mean don't take it away from them they need that and it is better for them to grow naturally out of it then ripping some thing important to them away.
Mom, this is not to you. I just like teasing you. -Chy

An Adult or a Grown-up?

Most of you who may read this thing still must think that there is no difference.
Well, there is. A big difference! There is something to see which you are.

• When it is time to get a new toothbrush you...

1. see if it was approved by the dental administration?
2. Run in and pick the first one that you see and that isn't expensive?
3. Or find the one that looks fun and will get the job done?

• When you see any kind of grab-bag the first thing you think/say is..

1. Just cheap stuff they couldn't sell so they put it in a bag you can't see through and give it a new name to get people to buy it.
2. No, not right now kids we don't have the time for that at the moment.
3. How fun! something I can't see but feels weird. the last one I got was this really cool...

• When you sit down to read a Dr.Seuss book with a/your child you think...

1. What is the whole point of this book! all it is are rhymes that take to long to say
2. I wonder if I can make this go any faster then it is already going. would she notice if I skipped the next few pages when she isn't looking? I have so much I need to do and I need to speed this up just a little more to get it all gone tonight.
3. This is a really interesting book. Why did he choose to right like this? what is he trying to say with all these funny words? why didn't he just go out and say them instead of using kids books to convey them?

I want you to count all the numbers of your answers(say you picked #2 answer for all the questions add all the 2's.... So that would be a 6 for the number you got). Please answer the questions to the ones you have done more often or last.

If you got 3-5 your an Adult. If you got 5-7 your a over stressed, boring Adult. If you got 7-9 then you are a Grown-up.

If you still don't know the difference then here I am to enlighten you.

Adult- Some one who does not remember the magic in life and just simply don't know how to have fun.

Stressed,boring Adult- This is a different kind of Adult. You still an Adult but you are less lost.You need to remember that you are aloud to have fun. It doesn't need to be big, infact it can be very small. Small and good things are the answer to making this person into a Grown-up. You just need to learn to enjoy life again and find fun in all that you do.

Grown-up - This is a great thing to be! a Grown-up knows that all it takes is a spoon full or sugar to make anything better. This is what I want to be. You don't have to be an Adult like everyone says you will be when your older. You can remember to have magic in your life no matter how old you are.

We can grow-up, but we don't have to be Adults. It's a choice not an expectation.

You choose now who you will be tomorrow!

Full Faith Forward

Yes this maybe weird to those who are unbelievers of the parking angel but I just need to say it anyway. We have always had a parking angel, the families parking angel's name is Harold. We have a family that we have been friends with since we were.... I think they met when Maliea was just a year old, they have one for their family too. I can't remember his name but it starts with an H. Well, so the other day me and mom were talking about how I need one for my self because Harold can't be in two places at once. Ok, so I was thinking about the last bit in my mind but it was implied by the conversation. I said that it should be something short so you can put it on a license plate someday. I said,"Fred". She said," Is that the first name that came to you?" Me,"No, Victoria was". That is my parking angel's name, Victoria.
The first time that I ask for help on finding a parking place was at the small Wal-Mart. Well, it was not a good trial run, saying in short that I parked in the back. The second time I was not in a very good mood and asked for a parking place near the front and a basket for Thayne. I got them both the first time I went around. The same day the mall was packed and I needed to run in, run out and I had Thayne so it needed to be right at the door of Barnes and Noble. I asked, thinking this is not going to happen.... I got the one spot! Yes you know the one, right in front of the door. Also on the first time around. I don't think that I thanked Victoria enough! So that is why my faith in my parking angel is restored, at first with Victoria I wasn't share if it was working like Harold always did but she pulled through! Thanks Victoria.

Happy Birthday!

Dear Dr. Seuss,
You have been an active role in my life, not only when I was little and just learning to read and write but also as I have grown to be the 16 year old that I am. We went to celebrate your birthday at the library today and I was just a little sad when I saw that there was nothing based from your book 'The Lorax'. I was sad till the librarian announced that they would be having a reading of the book. I was impressed that the man that was reading The Lorax could read it that fast and only fumble once. I am still not satisfied though, so I think that I will be making a UNLESS Lorax T-shirt in the next few days. Even though The Lorax is my favorite, all of your books have been a help to me in learning how to speak clearly and enunciate all my words as I read them to my siblings. Just not to long ago I had the privilege of reading 'Oh, the places you'll go!' and because of all the reading when I was a younger I was able to read it without any stuttering. And yes, when I was little I wanted 'jump on dad' more then anything. You may know what I am talking about but no one else did. Don't worry I got the book but only because I found the book in the store, brought it to mom and proceeded to ask to have the jump on dad book.
I guess what I am trying to say is thank you for the amazing memories that you have given me through your words. Happy 104Th Birthday Theodor Seuss Geisel!
