I would just like to start off by saying I forget about this thing all the time!!! I am probably one of the worsts when it comes to writing posts because I'm always so dang busy it just totally slips my mind!! Anyway I guess my post today will be about my parents, a half-way venting post but not fully because they have good intentions. The reason for this subject is my frustration with them this past weekend. These are my parents...
...This is the most recent picture I could find on me and them...it's from my Junior year of high school at my last show for drill team which was really sad that's why I was crying...so sorry for the ugliness!! I am the youngest of two girls and if you read an earlier post about my sister you know that my parents had trouble having children so our parents call us their miracle babies. Since they feel so very fortunate to have the two of us they have always been very protective and careful with us because they don't want anything to happen to us. When I say very protective I mean over protective, especially with me because I'm the youngest. I was never allowed to do anything like go to the mall or a movie with my friends until I was in my teens even though my friends could go before that. Even now that I have been living on my own for three years and nothing has happened to me they still freak out over little things. If I tell them I am going to my roommates cabin for the weekend they call about 20 times a day making sure I'm okay and they worry the entire time I'm gone. I had to go to Vegas this past weekend for my friends wedding and they tried their darndest to convince me to stay even though I was the maid of honor and I wasn't driving by myself. If they call and I don't answer they worry and usually call someone else to try and find me since they can't...needless to say I always have my phone with me. Once my senior year of highschool I was babysitting for a family my parents didn't know very well and my phone died. My parents freaked out and thought that maybe this family attacked me or something because when they called to make sure I got there safely and get the family's address I didn't answer my phone. So after about an hour or two of trying to get ahold of me my dad went driving around town looking for my car and my mom called a few of my close friends who said they hadn't been able to get ahold of me either which then caused them to freak out (one of them was going to school in Arkansas and he drove down to Dallas as soon as he heard I was "missing") When I got home a few of my friends were over and my mom and the girls were crying and they were about ready to call the police and I thought something bad had happened but no they had just been trying to reach me for the past 5 hours and couldn't. This seems like quite a unbelieveable story but it's just one of the typical ones I can tell about my parents freaking out over me. I know they only act like crazy people because they love me but I'm not a piece of glass and I won't break and I won't dissapear if they stop hovering over me. I am lucky to be loved such an enormous amount but I wish my parents would relax just a bit!
