Old toys

You know as I walked in to see my darling baby girl sleeping I look around her room and see all my old toys that she loves so much. It is amazing at how much she loves "Ron Ron" my old ragged Ronald McDonald doll that was give to me by Pappy at age 6 or 7. Or how her eyes lit up when I brought in my old kitchen set that I got for Christmas in 1989. We cleaned it up today and it looks almost as good at it did back then. Also for anyone who remember Teddy rupxin they are back at Wal-mart. I put one on layaway for abby's Christmas. I remember when I busted my head open when I was 4 or 5 I had to have my teddy with me.

You always see people throwing out or selling these old toys when you know that their kids would love them just as much as they did. Abby may look just like her daddy, but she has her mamma's sense when it comes to do. I see her picking up her "Little Critter" books that I bought her and remember having my mom or sister read them to me as a kid. I remember when Debbie (my sister) used to read Charlotte's Web to me one chapter a night until we finished it.

I just hope Abby is smart enough to know who to trust as her friends and who to ignore in life. I want so much for her to go to college and be whatever it is she wants to be. I just hope she figures it out sooner than later.

If I could go back the only thing I would change in my life is not studying harder in school, maybe then I would be able to get into a college easier. Anyways that is not an issues now it's just trying to decide if I really want to go back and be a trauma nurse or not. After my mom's wreck that was all I wanted to do b/c of how great they all were with my mom and us. I am just scared that I wouldn't be able to take the blood and gore or even worse what if I freeze up like I did when Abby got into super glue. I don't know if I ever said it or not, but Tina I do have to thank you for helping with her.
