My aunt opened the door to throw out a cigarette, I was leaning on the door and fell out. It all happened so quickly. He ran over my ankle. I skill have the scar. They were all frantic over it and I was humiliated. It's funny, I cannot remember the pain, but I remember all the blood and being in the ER having my clothing cut off.Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-25072090875719605082015-06-02T09:37:49.825-05:002015-06-02T09:37:49.825-05:00I'm still trying to get over the fact your dad...I'm still trying to get over the fact your dad ran over you, I'm still wondering if I read that right.

But I’m going to tell you, that photo is disgusting and I would love to burn it and all of the rest of my school photos. I have a double crown and a cowlick right in the middle of my bangs….hair styling is tough around my house…LOL. I would have preferred to have braces than maybe I could have changed that “big-mouth” smile I had. I don’t know why I can’t seem to keep it under control….LOL. And yes, menopause is a curse. I am totally perplexed as to why pain in childbirth was considered a curse. That goes away. Menopause hangs around forever and ever! We sprayed WD40 on our thermostat…all I have to do is glare at it and it moves to colder temps in fear! ;-) Have a wonderful weekend!!

You were very pretty at 12, with that straight smile of yours, *I had braces* =) Ugh, menopause! This is the one thing, that my mother kept silent about, and I am noticing that more and more women now are speaking out! Yea, I think my thermostat is broke! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!<br />hugs, Christine Christinehttp://cherishingasweetlife.blogspot.com/2015/05/watermelon-salad-with-feta-and-mint.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-3144139875263118182015-05-30T21:57:02.864-05:002015-05-30T21:57:02.864-05:00Hahaha.

Forget the menopause prefix - you're a very attractive lady whose husband and kids, no doubt, love being around.

I have a cute one of my oldest son, his wife and my granddaughter, but I’m not allowed to post it anywhere…LOL<br /><br />This photo was one of the few school photos that I had taken that I was not sporting a fever blister….I have a permanent scar on my lip.
