Formally known as Generalized Ramblings and Rantings of Spring, I have since become a mom. I have many questions, observations, and lessons learned as I muddle my way through this new and most important identity. Don't be surprised if you disagree with my opinions. I am opinionated, conservative, and charismatic. These are my words and if you find yourself offended please feel free to read else where.

The Sugar Plum Fairy History
DECEMBER 24, 2006
Off in a far away land many years ago a plum tree grew with a field of daffodils, and buttercups, and daisies. One morning in late spring the temperature began to rise so rapidly the blooms of the plum tree burst with firework flare. The sparks touched the surrounding flowers, which were equally as warm. Magic took place birthing the Sugar Plum Fairies.
Bursting out of thin air as you can imagine is a very traumatic event so many of the fairies fluttered into craziness. Some discovered they had amazing abilities for looking very attractive in tutus so they became ballerinas and got hired to dance in a fruity ballet. Others were recruited by the union to be Tooth Fairies. And one sect was offered a position as Sparkling Gold Dust Dropping Dream Fairies. Later the name was shortened to Sugar Plum Fairies because of their origin.
Among this last group were two fairies who considered themselves sisters because they bursted right next to each other. They were very different from each other, but had a common bond. Instead of sprinkling gold dust on sleepers they whacked the unsuspecting dreamers with spit-wad dust balls. The two sisters were good at their work. Many of a foolish souls had dopey dreams of riding large purple rabbits and eating clumpy mash potato flavored jell-o.
The sisters named one another because no one else was around. The tallest named the blond Spring because she could sing like a cool spring rain. The blond, Spring, named her sister, the tall one, BoogerButt, but the Sparkling Gold Dust Dropping Dream Fairies Coalition did not think it sounded very fairy-like so that is how she acquired the name Maury. Maury the giant. She was very tall for a fairy, but secretly Spring still called her BoogerButt.
One year on Christmas Eve the sisters-by now they had received the title Sisters Well Done because they did such an outstanding job-they came to one house in a town called Mount Juliet where they caught sight of the most peaceful lovely sleeping couple. The couple slept close snuggling one another yet they looked very sad. The Sisters Well Done had sympathy for the couple because they realized what caused the sadness. They had no children. The fairies thrust spit -wad dust of a special kind for this couple. The dreams that were conjured suddenly brought smiles to the young couple and they looked lovely as ever in a state of contentment. The couple dreamed of children and the wonderful parents they would become. The dreams were meant to act as fertility enhancers.
The next year the Sisters Well Done visited the same sleeping couple and noticed there was a baby crib near. They fluttered over to see a beautiful sleeping baby girl. They threw spit-wad dust at her and she giggled. The Sisters Well Done made frequent stops at the couple's home over the years each time with a new baby sleeping peacefully. Some years later the fairies noticed the couple no longer slept restlessly. The tiredness of raising children could not be eased with the spit-wad dust dreams. The couple sank into deep exhausted sleep that could not be penetrated by dreams.
The Sisters Well Done were overcome by grief for their good deed gone bad. They realized there was nothing they could do to correct the mistake. Spring and maury made one more visit on Christmas Eve to the couple's home with the glimmer of hope, but when they arrived they were instead engulfed with sorrow and regret. The house was filled with sleeping children everywhere. The home was an utter mess of clothes and homemade toys. The kitchen was cluttered with towering dirty dishes, but the most disheartening sight was the absence of a Christmas tree or presents or stockings. The only sign of Christmas were a few Christmas cards scattered about. The couple had become too desolate to support all their many children.
The Sisters Well Done felt so ashamed for the trouble they had created. They fluttered into the night without saying a word to each other. They fluttered on into morning until they could flutter no longer. The next few years Spring and Maury remained in isolation never seen nor heard nor imagined in dreams.
It has only been recently that the Sisters Well Done have made their appearance. They decided to use their uniqueness as an advantage to make money. For their was no money for fairies in dream making. Since the Victoria Secret Angels have been so successful Spring and Maury are starting a new line of lingerie for Victoria as a strategy to raise money for the couple. This new line of lingerie is meant to be comfortable, but oddly sexy in a fairy kind of way.
So support the couple by buying Sugar Plum Yummy bras and underwear. You will make a child very happy for Christmas.
