So yesterday was really of no importance, but things
happened that got my brain moving and so I’m sharing completely random things
with you because of it. Which I guess is
not much different than normal.
The Spider Dream
I had a dream that I stopped by an old friend’s house to say
hi to her parents. My kids started
running around chasing a “lizard” in their front yard. I briefly saw that lizard race by me and thought,
‘that doesn’t look like a lizard’. A
moment later it ran by again with what looked like a giant spider in its
mouth, but at closer look it was in fact a SPIDER with a LIZARD in its mount
and that spider was eating the lizard whole (I know this is physically
impossible, but it was very real in my dream).
I told the kids to stop chasing that thing only to have Taylor come up
to me with a huge chunk of flesh missing from her arm saying “The lizard tried
to eat me”. Justin came to the rescue
and shoved the spider in his mouth and just chewed away…yellow gooey stuff
pouring from his mouth.
In hindsight... that is a little like he just ate a portion
of our daughter’s arm… sicko.
Jordan’s Clumsiness
Jordan is the queen of epic injuries. She doesn’t do “small” so on Sunday she
tripped and took a quarter inch triangle chunk of skin off her toe. She took it like champ while I scrubbed that
open wound with alcohol. Then she
followed that up by jumping off swings and landing on her knees on Tuesday
resulting in bloody knees. The good news
is Justin now has a medical kit in his car for such occasions.
Fake Retainers
As the dentist explained to me that Taylor will likely need
braces (not surprised) I had to reassure Taylor that braces aren’t that
bad. I then remembered that in my late
elementary days I thought braces looked awesome and wished I could have
them. I proceeded to painfully sculpt a
paperclip to fit around my teeth to look like a retainer. I wore it for like a week. Nobody noticed. I was sad, and my teeth hurt, and it tasted
horrible.
