because once is never enough

Instead of being down on myself for my relationship status of "it's complicated," I am choosing to compliment myself on the fact that I know they don't have to be complicated and on the fact I plan on doing something about it. I'm not sure what that thing is yet but I plan on doing it. Read out of context, that last line is a little dirty.

My take on John and Kate Plus Eight drama: Either it is staged marital trouble or it isn't. Either way, those eight kids are loved and adored by two parents. There is so much media attention on them right now and how this situation has to be bad for the children. I'm sure it is horrible for them; just like divorce is hard for children everywhere. "Dear, Mr. Henshaw" resonates with children everywhere for a reason.

Paul Zelinsky is an amazing illustrator. I love his Repunzel book. My cousin Erin reads it obsessively. I guess that is why it got a Caldecott.

I'm pretty sure no one else understands how my thought flow in the appove worked out, but it all makes logical sense:

Paragraph 1: relationship trouble
Paragraph 2- more relationship trouble evolves into my love for childrne's literature
Paragraph 3- Paul Zelinsky illustrated the only version of "Dear, Mr. Henshaw" that I have ever seen. You know the one with the brown haired boy in the blue sweatshirt?

I'm off to bed now. I hope you enjoyed a quick trip inside my head.
