17...and lovin it!!

So, its that time of year again. School things are on sale, school desks are made ready, the school year is planned out and school books are ready and waiting. With school beginning again ( for me it's the last time ) I have just 3 reasons for these pics. 1.We've always had a tradition of taking a picture at the start of another school year. 2. I'm 17 and I had not up to this point got any posed pics for the year.  3. Just cus I wanna record the moment. I wanna remember this time in my life. I wanna enjoy it for all its worth, live every moment alive and free, cus I'll never be a girl again. I won't be allowed to be a little girl and yet a women at the same time, I'll have to be an adult in the real world outside the safety of my childhood. Some times I wonder, "Am I old enough for this??" Then I remind myself , "I will be when I get there."  But that's next year, I'm 17 now.

I swept him off his feet

    I was sent out the door by my mother on an errand to sweep the porch. While I was sweeping I noticed a green blob by the edge of the pouch. Thinking it was a piece of  dirt I gave it a mighty sweep. A small squeal escaped out of me as I suddenly realized the green  blob was NOT a piece of dirt. Freddy landed in a heap and if frogs could talk I'm sure I would have gotten quite the scolding. That is if he would have been able to talk do to the panic I caused him. He looked half insulted half petrified as he sat there in stunned silence looking at me. He only stayed in that stunted, insulted, petrified heap for a few seconds, before frantically leaping off the edge of the porch and into the safety of the green grass. I am sure he will now watch out for large swiftly moving objects that begin with a whoosh and end with a plop. Another words brooms.
         So, I swept him off his feet, but I didn't kiss him.  Though I did think of it...and as I think of it now it only would have made sense to kiss away the poor "dears" hurts of being catapulted through the air.  ....but do you know what happens when you kiss a frog?? Yea. Exactly. Try explaining that to your friends when they stop and ask "So, how did you 2 get together."  
         Come to think of it the little tike was sitting on my door step, who knows how long he was siting there. Maybe I should have kissed him. But for one I know that fairy tales are just stories and second the thought of kissing a little wiggly, slimy, green FROG. And he's an ANIMAL. Animals don't have feelings. So as you can see my practicality over powered my sentimentalness and I left him be. Unkissed.
   Mind you I DID make sure he was ok and not killed dead before I walked inside laughing.  So BE WARE I may ward off unwanted thing 'ams hanging around our doorstep with a viscous contraption called a broom.
