1993-Christmas Family Picture
I was an imaginative child. I had over 50 imaginary students that I would teach. I also had 8 imaginary children of my own, and an imaginary prince-husband named Michael (no I did not purposely name my son after him). As a child, I was a perfect mother. I wrote this reminder note to myself in 1994 titled, "When I grow up I will..." I vaguely remember the circumstances surrounding the authoring of it, but at the moment I must've felt like I wasn't getting what I wanted-however, 15 years later it has made quite the hilarious read. When I grow up I will...
get treats from the store for my children, let them play most of the time and let them work a little, I'll let my children do a little bit of things they want to do, have them do a little bit of chores, sew them cloths, have them have days to go places with me, take them to the park, take them swiming, go to the zoo, take them to grandmas house, go to Disninyland, go to the movies, give them good presnets on their Birthdays and on Christmas, say yes on most of the things they ask or tell me about, take them to the dendest, get donets, cakes, and cookies, read them goodnight stories, teach them about Jesus, never ground them, take them to pizza hut, take them to restronst, let them have anything they want for brefest, lunch and dinner, take them to the beach, get them a subprises, how much they work I will give them money.
1993-sister Suzy and I
I then continued by writing a list of presents I plan to get for my daughters and me, and another of gifts for my "husbin" and sons. Some of the highlights include:
Play turtles, rockie talkies, mabie a new pet, bing bag, flashlights, glass things, crayons and papper, clipboards, and new jornal.
Let me tell you-I am very grateful my mom saved these and put them in my scrapbook. =) Life can't get any better than just being a kid. What are some of the things you dreamed up as a child?

Will you please take me to Disninyland with you when you go?
I want a rockie talkie please
Oh my goodness. I really really wanna go to Disninyland now.
As a kid, I wanted to be a garbage man... yes, man. My other dream in life was to live in a house made of candy... I'm getting close!
how awesome of a list! thanks for sharing. that is priceless
That's a cute letter. You sound like the best mom ever!
Love it! My mom save a lot of my things too - I have a hillarious "I'm running away" note! P.S. if you're a mom like you dreamed up way back then, then I want to come live with you and I think my kids would love it too!
That's super cute! And how great that your mom saved it for you. It makes me think that I need to do better with that kind of stuff.
And I totally loved seeing that picture of you and your brothers and sisters--that's how you guys are frozen in my memory! When did you all grow up?
ha that's right, i forgot michelle was richard's cousin. as far as the photos go, i use a program called Windows Live Writer to blog now. It's so nice it's just like using Word (which I'm really familiar with so it makes it soooo easy!). I would google it and then download it to your computer if your'e interested. I'd highly recomment it. It has so many functions and it dosen't frustrate me like Blogger and Picasa programs do. DO IT!
I want to know more about the glass things...
I like seeing what I did as a child...but looking back to the indignity of my teenage years I can do without. Children are so sweet and you are no exception, my dear.
Ditto to what Jennette said!! I remember how all the cousins looked back in the day.
