Love your neighbor

4.29.12

when they give your daughter a horse 2/3 her size

that causes her to gasp with joy when she saw it for the first time and every time after that 

that she names Mei Mei and insists on doing everyday life with.
Do you think it comes alive when we leave the room and tells the other toys stories about how it was passed down from a 15 year old who no longer played with her to a 3 year old who can’t get enough of her but sits on her and pulls her tail?
It’s possible.

Dear Monday

4.23.12

Dear Monday,
Last time we saw each other, it was simply lovely. You were so warm. And, I so enjoyed our time together as did my children.

But, I am now confused because you are so cold–not at all the warm self we grew to love. In fact, you are quite ugly, and your ugliness has a dramatic effect on how the rest of us feel. In fact, my youngest child told her Daddy, “It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is Daddy.”

At the risk of sounding rude, we are kindly asking that you do not visit again until you are ready to be the Monday we know you can be.

Thank you very much,
The Raudenbush family

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
