At the end of my profile I was asked a random question to answer for fun, but I put some thought into my answer. It turned out that my story was too long for the spot to fill. I was told that the children were waiting, tell them a story of the bald frog with a wig. I was peeved that I had to cut up my story so it would fit. First you need to read the cut up version on the view my whole profile page, then read this story. It only seemed fair to tell the whole story now. So here goes:
One day, a happy little frog named Hoppy was hopping along the river's edge. He was going so fast that he thought he might out run the river. When all of a sudden "SPLAT"! Hoppy was stuck in a Widow's Web. The frog called out: "HELP!" Two of his friends were near by and came to his rescue. Felix the fox and Wanda the widow. Felix gently pulled Hoppy from Wanda's web, but Hoppy came free without his hair. All of Hoppy's hair was still in the web. All three of them tried to pluck the tiny little hairs free, but the wind by the rivers edge blew each of the hairs away. Hoppy sat on a rock and cried into the river. Wanda whispered something into Felix's ear. Felix looked at her and smiled really big. Felix plucked a paw full of short hair from his belly and handed it to Wanda. Wanda tapped Hoppy on the shoulder and said she was sorry he got stuck in her web, She said since it was her fault he lost his hair, the least she could do was make him new hair. Hoppy looked at her very confused. Wanda showed Hoppy Felix's hair, then with her strong webbing she spun the hair into a very fashionable wig that fit Hoppy's head perfectly. "Since the wig is made with widow's webbing, it's very strong and very sturdy. It won't easily fall off when your hopping and swimming", said Wanda. Now, Hoppy might be bald, but thanks to Felix and Wanda he's a bald frog with a very stylish wig!
The End

"Where's the baby?"

"Here I am!"

"Can you see me now?"

"I'd rather eat socks"

Whenever I do the laundry and I'm separating the clothes out, I notice that there is something always missing. Most of the time it's one of the socks who seems to be left without a mate. Well, I found the culprit and she didn't seem to notice the problem with adding yet another toy to her collection of "the ever growing pile".

"Inspector Speckles, and the specks!"
"I will find every speck on this floor. I will find them all I tell you, all I say! When I do they'll be sorry, sorry I tell you!"
Inspector Speckles searched everywhere. She searched high and she searched low. She even searched under the rug:
" A-ha, I new I'd find you! You're going to be soo sorry that I did,cause I'm gonna stick you in my MOUTH!!!"
Every speck went without warning, right into the mouth of "Inspector Speckles". The End

Here she is, gosh, it's almost been a whole year already. It seems like just last month that I was pregnant. I just can't believe that she is going to be one year next month. Time just flies by.

Here she is, as you can see she is sleeping in every shot. That's all she does; sleep, eat, sleep and eat! Ah, a baby's life, someone to take care of your every need. Of coarse, mommy gets a nap now and again herself, but Shannon isn't far from my heart. Literally!! I think it took me about 4-5 months to feel like she wasn't just going to get picked up like I was just baby sitting; she was here to stay. It was both an odd feeling and such a wonderful miracle to be a mommy, finally!

Here we are, me and my "belly"! This was August 2005. Shannon was born in late September. We waited a long time to have a baby, we were blessed with the most presious gift of all, our "Princess"!!
