More of the first years of my life

I really dont remember much about the first 10 years or so of my life but I do remember kind of a timeline of when things happened. I remember we lived on 26th avenue in Spokane on the south hill which was a block away from Chris's house at the time. I remember Betsie and I had to sleep in the basement, which was unfinished btw, but we had waterbeds and they were very very warm. We shared a room. The only thing that really stands out about that house is the bad dreams I had. Have you ever had a dream, where you felt like thousands of SPIDERS were crawling all over you and the dream felt very very real? That is the dreams I had constantly in that house. I dont know if my mom even knows that. I also remember I was obsessed with BIG WHEEL tricycles. If you dont know what they are, click on the word to see. You might have had one yourself. I went through many of these "bikes." I remember when my parents bought me the Big Wheel called the Sidewinder. It was a big wheel with had brakes on each of the back wheels. If you pulled on one of the brakes you would do 360 degree circles. Kind of like I do with my e-brake in my car in snowy parking lots. I loved that and my mom says she couldn't get me off of it.

I also remember the name of my kindergarten teacher at Lincoln Heights Elementary. When you hear her name you will know why I remember it. Her name was Mrs. Sidensticker. Yes, you read that right. We moved out to the valley after first grade. That story to come.......
