I can just imagine the conversation as you two prepare for your next long drive:

Tyler: Mommy, I'm gonna wear my Spider Man outfit. What are you gonna wear?

Holly: Depends.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!


First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while
they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and
didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby
cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or
cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets
on our heads..

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no
booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no
brakes

Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a
special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one
actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-
Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight. WHY?

Because we were always outside playing...that's why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we
were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride
them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.
After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the
problem.

We did not have Play stations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no
video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no
surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no person al computers, no
Internet and no chat rooms WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and
found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live
in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with
sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we
did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or
rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who
didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard
of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem
solvers and inventors ever.


The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
how to deal with it all.

If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm going to try to catch up on these few pages and go to sleep right away. I'm too tired to be hungry for supper. I was just over a 1/2 hour late for work this morning. My alarm was set and was right by my head, but I must have just slept right through it. Towards the end of the work day, people commented on how little I was saying to everybody, but I was too tired to chat and was having difficulty staying awake at my desk. So going to bed about 6:30pm will give me 13 hours of sleep, so I should be well-rested tomorrow.

Hi Holly

I am afraid that I think 13 hours sleep sound too long.

I have short sleeping ... I went bed late night and got up 9.00 am this morning as I want to have long lying but I get up... sometime I feel tired in afternoon not all the times... I wish to have long sleeping...

Great job Deb! You're moving in the right direction!

Thanks Holly. How are you doing? We need to help each other along the way.

I can just imagine the conversation as you two prepare for your next long drive:

Tyler: Mommy, I'm gonna wear my Spider Man outfit. What are you gonna wear?

Woody

So funny.....Woody....I'm glad you are back. We certainly have missed you.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Did I say how much I missed you guys

We missed you too Kathe. But I'm sure you had a great time with your son. How was it seeing him with his daughter? What a thrill for you, I'm sure.
