I have started 3 different posts this morning. I can't seem to stick to just one topic so I'm not gonna try anymore. Here is a peek into my head.
1. Sometimes when we are driving in the car I envision us in an accident. I can see myself praying for the safety of my family. In the end I am the only one seriously injured. Then I wonder who would actually come see me in the hospital.
2. I tell my husband to "be safe" every morning before he leaves. It's not just a habit. I hope that by reminding him everyday maybe just maybe he will be more alert when he drives to work. Maybe just maybe he will avoid any potential hazards and come home safely.
3. One of my biggest fears is that something bad would happen to my children or my husband. (see number 2) With my kids I'm afraid of someone stealing them or hurting them. With my husband I'm afraid of him dying.
Wow. This is sorta dark. I better lighten things up a little you might think you came to the wrong blog.
4. I have a problem with hair of any type on my soap. I don't care where it came from I don't want it on the bar of soap. If you put it there then you get it off!
5. I can't seem to make myself throw the phone books away from the last to cities we lived in. I have one for Pueblo, one for Santa Fe and 3 for our current home!
6. I hate it when people speed through my neighborhood. When they come flying through I want to throw a playground ball out in front of their car to remind them there are children around here. I'm too afraid to ever do it.
I don't really know where these things came from today. I just know that I had couldn't seem to keep my mind in one place so I guess this is what you get!

Gonna pick and choose here...
1. I do the same thing OGO! I always wondered if I was the only one who had morbid thoughts like this...I'm glad I'm not alone!
3. I think this is something that comes with being a parent. Kids are so innocent, we dont' want anything bad to come upon them.
4. I use the liquid soap. Problem solved.
5. We don't have any phone books in our house. That's what the internet is for :P
Happy Friday :)

I know what you mean, I do straight to dead in ditch paranoia when someone is late.
Gabby-I warned you! My head was all over the place today.
TechyMike-I've missed you! I debated on whether I would leave number one on the list. I didn't know how it would be recieved. You made it worth it.
Myutopia-I'm a worrier. I'm learning to live with it without letting it control me.
1. I am the 'ditch to dead' type myself whenever anyone is late, and whenever I'm in the car with Grover, I have my foot on the imaginary brake.(Not so much because of him but the other drivers.)
2 and 3: ditto, ditto, ditto!
4. Liquid soap does the trick
5. I call my stack of 25 phone books (all from the same city;)) my mementos..I actually save them from year to year because I'm weird like that
6. Our town finallllly got smart enough to put those speed bumps all through the residential areas...of course they're so close together it's like riding a roller coaster but, hey....it's worth it. (and I was wasting waaaaay too many balls:))
We use public transport mostly, though Ben only missed the London bombing last July by minutes. That kind of put my view of risk into proportion - we cheat death every day of our lives.
Not being a parent (yet) I can't begin to appreciate about worrying for a child.
Like TechyMike, I use liquid soap and the internet for phone nos.
There's speed bumps everywhere in London, which I'm in favour of. I really hate it when people moan about being caught on speed cameras...they shouldn't be driving so fast in the first place!!!
I always tell Jason that if he dies of something stupid like not wearing his seatbelt, I won't come to his funeral. Of course, I suppose I would be the one planning the funeral and I don't really believe in funerals...but the point is, I hope to inspire him to be extra safe all the time. So I understand where you're coming from, and I can only imagine that your concern is increased tenfold by having kids.
I keep the old phone books because most likely someone will want the address to your kis old school and the health clinic and immunizations, etc!
the only reason to keep old phone books is if you want to beat up criminals without visible effect. I just can't see you needing to do that.
I am REALLY bad about worrying! I worry about the people I love constantly. I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed.
I also HATE HAIR, anywhere! When I was a small child and I got hair on me in the bathtub say, I would scream until my mom got it off! HA HA! And I had really long hair so chances were that it was mine. weird!
