BUGS?

As I look out the window tonight trying to see if my Bug friend has come back (he hasn't) so I can prove to Hubby how big it was (now I can't) I sat here thinking..... WHO AM I?

Seriously, I don't do bugs... I've NEVER liked bugs.... I used to not like the color green because trees were green, and where there were trees, there were bugs.  

Not sure where my hatred with bugs started.  Maybe  with a bumble bee that flew up my pants as a little girl while on a camping trip and stung me in the Hoo Ha... (Yes, I still remember this)....  Maybe it started after I moved to Georgia when I walked in my first home as a married women to find a 10 foot long palmetto bug on my wall....  Or the Roach that appeared in my blender one morning... Gotta love those smoothies... YUCK!!! 

Fast Forward 12 years and being a MOM... I find myself catching bugs that find their way in to the house and releasing them out side to be free again.  Teaching Veg the value of kindness.   I love Trees now (even if they are green) because they provide us our Oxygen (breathing is good), shade,  and so much more. 

Last year I was taking pictures of Cicadas (which are very ugly bugs) and going on a search for their shells in the middle of Mosquito infested evenings because my Son wanted to see what they looked like up close.  One time he was sick and couldn't get out for a walk with me and was sad that he missed a day of the Cicada music... So I went out side in the middle of dusk and recorded the Cicada music for my kiddo.

Last weekend I was actually letting a butterfly feed off my finger and realized how cool those little creatures are.  And just today I helped Veg pluck a little Caterpillar off a plant leaf, so he could look close at its body and how it moved.....before we set him back down to continue his nibbling.

I still don't like the creepy crawlies... they still gross me out in most cases... But I have learned for some reason to appreciate them and what they do for our well being. (minus the stinging, biting, blood sucking ones of course)

Still not sure how I got here, or who I have become... But alas, I'm still looking out the window next to my desk hoping for a big ugly bug to show up so I can show my Hubby before we go to sleep.

How did I become this person?  So strange!

Well I know where you got the "I don't do bugs" & "How to give all you have in your heart for Veg" & "your sweetness & kindness to people who need help"

HOWEVER! Still can't figure out where you got your organization & Baking Skills..
