I’m havin’ a real bad day.
Into the Woods…Sondheim…
No one here to guide you
Now your on your own
Only me beside you
Still your not alone
No one is alone
Truly no one is alone
Sometimes people leave you
Half way through the wood
Others may deceive you
You decide what’s good
You decide alone
But no one is alone
People make mistakes
Fathers mothers
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking they’re alone
Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
One another’s
Terrible mistakes
Witches can be right
Giants can be good
You decide what’s right
You decide what’s good
Just remember
Someone is on your side
Someone else is not
While you’re seeing your side
Maybe you forgot
They are not alone
No one is alone
Hard to see the light now
Just don’t let it go
Things will turn out right now
We can make it so
Someone is on your side
No one is alone
When people speak badly of you, you should respond in this way: Keep a steady heart and don’t reply with harsh words. Practice letting go of resentment and accepting that the other’s hostility is the spur to your understanding. Be kind, adopt a generous standpoint, treat your enemy as a friend, and suffuse all your world with affectionate thoughts, far-reaching and widespread, limitless and free from hate. In this state you should try to remain.

or as the Power Puff Girls would say:
you can’t hurt me with the things that you do,
I pick a dandelion and I give it to you…

planning the party…
had to rent this today, so we’d have it for next month’s partay:

my kids are so freaking lucky!
oh, and it’s going to be a harry potter party. I don’t know how dalmations (dogmations, as my son used to say) fit into the harry potter theme, but I doubt they’ll turn up their noses at it. the oldsters are going lazertagging in the evening.
two kids with birthdays within a week of each other…and incompatible age groups…and different genders. still, I think we’re working it out.
