ugly stuff


Sadly, sometimes you need to weed out the people in your life that cause you grief. I make no claims to being an expert in human relationships and all, but last night I was floored by my 3 year old. She asked perfectly by name about a certain person, where this person was, and where their kids were and what were they doing?
My husband had the same experience a day or so earlier.
It was incredibly sad...a succinct reminder of the irrationality of emotions and such....stubborness, forgiveness, trust, etc......bleh
It is very difficult to explain adult logic, to a child so I just didn't even bother. I just answered her questions to the best of my ability and carried on with the bedtime routine. It was completely flabbergasting in it's clarity.

on a lighter note, it couldn't be a nicer day!

I'm sorry someone so beautiful had to remind you of something so ugly. But the beautiful is in your life, the ugly isn't, unless you let it. I say focus entirely on the former. Little E is the best kid ever.

quite sensible although for the most part i am a "never say die" person and always view my own thoughts as arising from moments of defeatist pique.

but i'm not even married, so what would i know?
