My blanket

 I just can't do anything until I know my blanket is OK. I mean, what if he never comes back? Mom says he was dirty and he would be back in a bit. But lots of things mom takes from my room are never seen again. She makes lots of silent decisions which usually involves my stuff. Maybe we'll become a cops and have a stake-out. We'll catch her in the act. First, I think we need a nap.

Rogue Hairs

 Well, you wanted to see my hair and the wild that exists. Let's just say it is a hat day so yeah, they are really misbehaving. So rather than show you, I created this artist representation. Understand my problem now? Before you say something about my eyes being green and not blue...stop right there, its the frog hat. It brings out the green in everything.

a funny thing

 "I like to paint. Am I any good? I am good at liking to paint. I didn't know that liking something required judgment. We animals just do what we like and move along. We don't ask each other: 'Are you good at eating grass? Are you good at walking along hillsides or climbing trees? Are you good at taking naps?'. Try doing what you like because you like it. It feels nice."



Not a sheep

 I am not really a clip girl but I have about 10 hairs that don't want to be sheep so I will either force them to behave or cut them out of the herd. I'll report back tomorrow.

Homework

 Wondering if cupid could make kids fall in love with homework? Just asking. It is worth a shot, right?

Cupid is here

 Cupid has arrived

He is hiding here and there

Clearing away the darkness

With a bit of love in the air.

That neighbor

 Hi neighbor! Just checking out your lawn and flowers and noticed you were in your kitchen eating something which made me wonder what it was and that show you were watching last night, it looked pretty good but there sure were a lot of commercials. Come over? I'd love to but I am sort of busy. Maybe tomorrow! Oh, by the way, I think someone left a package on your doorstep. I think it was from your Aunt Becky. Anyway, happy Friday!

Choices

 Today I woke-up with the choice to be a grouch or an Ernie. I chose an Ernie. What did you choose?

The Blink

 Mom, make sure you get me in the picture. Am I in it? Now be sure the flowers are looking. The one in the middle blinks a lot so be sure to take a couple photos. OK, how do they look. Did you get a good one? Well, take 7 more just in case. Mom, you need to tell us when to be ready. I was in the middle of talking. Ok, ready now! She blinked again, didn't she?

A visitor

 



Dear Little Prince
Who had tamed the fox?
What have you done?
With the sheep's paper box

And the rose with her vanity
Did she survive?
And you on your asteroid
Do the baobabs still thrive?

I am lost too
In the desert with no well
I've abandoned myself
For I am only a shell

The stars they do own me
I'm written in their books
My rivers and lakes
My admiration and looks

Yet I am not praised
For the lights I have illumed
Or for any of the baobabs
Which the sheep have consumed

I am watched oh so closely
By a snake of the sands 
Who promises to reunite
Me to the lands

And then I am reminded
The heart does see rightly
By the laughter of the stars
As they shine themselves brightly

Things I think about before bed

 


So, when I wake up tomorrow is the world still going to be divided? Will his story be more truthful than hers? Will he be right and he over there be wrong? What about my story? The one left untold? I hear adults say, "There are 2 sides to every story." How can this be when there are 7.6 billion stories be written everyday? I don't believe there are sides. There is no being on the same page. It is impossible. Maybe instead of trying to prove our truths, we should stick to just living them while respecting the ones we'll never really understand.
