Chilling Discovery

It's been a while. Sorry! I've been busy busy busy! Pacen is finally on his last week of school for the year and things are so hectic. I've had to deal with: 4-H projects/meetings, Rendezvous (more about that soon), field trips, Relay for Life things, graduations, softball, lawn care, DIY pergola project, etc.  I also try to squeeze in a workout every night!  I'm exhausted and overwhelmed.  So, when I do have a moment to spare I lounge on the couch.  It helps me unwind. 

Last night after I did my run and put Pace to bed I decided to catch up on one of my favorite TV shows, Cougar Town. I have to watch it after it airs on television cause we don't have cable or dish. Thanks to the internet and the ABC network I am able to watch my favorite shows any time I want. So, anyway, I was enjoying Cougar Town and laughing my ass off and all of a sudden I was hit with a chilling discovery!

You see, part of this particular episode revolved around a group of siblings in the cul-de-sac neighborhood.  Aka the "chalk children". Three very blond kids who use sidewalk chalk to draw on everyone's driveways (some of the drawings are very morbid). They are creepy little tykes and at one point Grayson (very handsome bar owner) refers to them as "the children of the corn". Well, I know my horror movies and it was The Village of the Damned that had the creepy blond kids, but anyway, at the very moment I saw the "chalk children" it hit me. The chilling discovery. *Insert anticipating horror movie music here*

MY SISTERS AND I WERE THE CREEPY BLOND KIDS! We were "the damned"! Bum-bum-buuuuummmmm!  Grayson's description even fits us perfectly because we grew up in Nebraska!

One of my best guy friends once told me he was scared of my sisters and I when we were little cause we were "the girls with white hair". Haha! I could never figure out what was so scary about that, but last night the truth came to me. If we had walked around with blank looks on our faces (instead of our precious smiles) we would've totally looked like the children from The Village of the Damned. I have proof.

Scary how much similarities there are!!!  Especially the glowing eyes!  :)

The next picture is my favorite.  It's of my sister, Quinn, and I.  Raine had white blond hair too, but she didn't resemble the little horror children cause mom let her have long hair.  Not fair.  :)

My bangs are even styled the same as the Children of the Damned! 

Now I must live the rest of my life with this realization weighing down on me.  How will I survive?!  :)  Oh how I wish I still had the white blond hair.  I would so dress up as one of the "damned" children for Halloween!

Mara Chaffee (creepy blond leader): You are thinking of the one who died.
David McGowan (somewhat creepy blond boy): She was to be my partner.
Mara Chaffee: Yes it's true. Without a mate you are of less importance to us and your development of emotions is disturbing. We can't leave you behind David, it's time we resolved this.
