i remember the very first things i ever looked up on the internet. it was '97 or '98 and i had just come home from school for a break. i looked up mazzy star (i was in a total moody music phase) and i also looked up the pink floyd/wizard of oz thing.
(by the way, my skin is still crawling from thinking about trypophobia.)
kid update: parker is as sassy as ever and i really can't imagine life when she's 14. we are in for it. but she is smart and funny and overall a very good girl, so hopefully that side of her will win over the tween-like side. macy can still go from happy to complete meltdown in a tenth of a second, but she is such a sweet little thing. she never forgets to say her prayers, brush her teeth, wash her hands, say please and thank you, or say "i love you"... and she's reading! oliver is loving karate and unfortunately has tried a few punches at home (aka, into sawyer's face). he sure keeps us laughing with his (non-punching) antics. sawyer is incredibly sweet and dear. he is getting evaluated next month to begin speech therapy because he can't go on saying only "no" forever.
the other day i couldn't find my phone all morning. i was trying hard to stay calm, but it was so hard. the girls will probably always remember the day i came to their school like a crazy person to see if they had "accidentally" put my phone in their back packs. (i found it later in the house, thankyouverymuch.)

now if you ever move again and people ask you the awkward "tell me something interesting about yourself" you can tell them "i have trypophobia" with all the pathos you can muster.
ps, i was laughing so hard at the thought of you and jamie's faces when the dwarf pulled up, i could hardly read the rest of the post. thanks to you both for getting cars later so you could take me to/from slc and spare me similar experiences!
great! just great, robin! i got the chills at least 9 times while reading this. my skin is crawwwwling. oh my gosh, i'm dying. i have visions of that THING... that flower? that gross grossss thing and it won't leave my mind.
chillllllls.
MEEEE TOOOOO! This is why I have issues with strawberries. Things that are seedy or bumpy or warty make me squeamish and cringy. I will not click that link.
Do not EVER look at a picture of one of those frogs that carries her babies INSIDE her back in a hundred little cubby holes. I watched a video of it in elementary school science class and it's been haunting me ever since. Worst I've ever seen.
YOU STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!! We literally just talked about specific phobias in my ab-psych class and we talked about this! I thought "this is made up, who does that?" I cannot wait to tell my class tomorrow that I know someone who does!
There is another phobia (well, not really a phobia, more like a...fixation) that when people cannot fall asleep they see their limbs (hands, feet, legs, arms and head) go in and out of proportional sizes in their head when they close their eyes. This happens to me regularly when I am over-tired but can't sleep. Bizarre, right? Don't you love validation for weird quirks? Although I guess this validation is essentially people telling us we are crazy... uhh... whatever.
DON'T GOOGLE TRYPOPHOBIA.
i'm making bracelets, forming a street team.
i THOUGHT i could blog about it... but then i googled it and it's not JUST holes. it's HOLES in SKIN. YOU GUYSSSSSSS i'm tortured. i cannot scratch the image from my eyeballs. it's all i can see in my mind! i literally woke up this morning with goose bumps. and i can't shed the skin crawlies. alllll dayyyy lonnnnng.
it's honestly the epitome of the phrase "seared in my memory" and i just want it to go away!
i SAID A PRAYER in the shower this morning that it would go away. and all i could think to do was listen to conference talks. but i can't very well do that at work, now, can i?
i'm about to commit myself to a place.... something's wrong with me.
DON'T GOOGLE TRYPOPHOBIA.
aubry, I am really starting to think I shouldn't have blogged about it because I have had the chills for two days straight! and I didn't even look at the skin pictures!!!!! I am sorry for why I am putting you through...
I didn't realize I had it until about a week ago I saw the term online, googled it, and was pretty grossed out. Although things like water droplets in snow and seed pods don't bother me- it's only when I think about holes in the skin that I start to feel nauseous. Nasty nasty phobia. After I first read about it I had horrible nightmares about it for three nights straight.
How come I'm your mother and I didn't know you had this issue?
You didn't get it from me. I googled it and looked at all the pictures and it did nothing to me. Even the frog thing with baby frogs coming out entertained me.
Now, if I can hear someone chewing their food. That drives me bonkers.
mom! the reason you didn't know about it is because I didn't know how to explain it. I didn't know what it was!! and gross, I can't believe that stuff doesn't bother you! (I haven't even looked at any of it. you couldn't pay me to google trypophibia!)
Robin, Ive had three relapses today - in very conspicuous places, like the udot offices - and I've done the full body chills wiggle, right out in the open. I can't help it! It's the worst thing I've EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! It's not even human, it's straight out of an alien movie. I can't believe that the things I saw (and cannot erase from my memory bank) actually happen to people... On EARTH! I would take a seed pod any day over this torturous, horrible, crippling sight that literally curls me into the fetal position and makes all the hair on my body stand on end 28963247 times a day. AND HOW CAN YOUR MOM BE UNAFFTECTED BY THIS?!
I had never even heard of anything even semi-related to trypophibia. I clicked the link. Worst idea EVER. I don't think I have it, but I think if I read anymore about it I'll get it!
I have the same thing!!!!!! The insides of green peppers and pomegranates really gross me out, they make me want to puke. lol! My husband has always made fun of me, but now I know there is an actual name for it and that other people have it too, so he's in for it!
Your kiddos are so, so cute and getting so big!
I am dying laughing. I don't think I have it? But I extend my sympathy.
