Thanks for showing up early
You weren’t supposed to be here for another week
It’s not like I don’t have plans
and wouldn’t be bothered by you arriving early.
Causing me to stay in for the evening
To deal with you – you pain.
Yeah, I’m a little crabby
And probably a bit down
Its all your fault, Auntie.
I blame you.
Next time you show up, show up when expected.
So I won’t have to run around scrambling to change sheets.
And find things you like at 10PM
Watching sappy movies you like
Just to make you happy.
You are no longer allowed to disrupt my life –
even if you just plan on staying a little while.
You hear me?!
I live my life with tea and crumpets only when I want them.
Sure now I’m a little grumpy.
And maybe even a bit sensitive.
So I have only one thing to say –
I blame you.
Period.

I
I never have my camera with me when I should.
On the way home from picking up Miss Nat from school she saw a friend and held her hand.
They walked down the block as the girl’s babysitter and I just smiled.
Called to another little girl from their class.
And she joined the party and skipped down the street.
Oversized backpacks. Hanging from the shoulders of three little girls wearing brightly colored dresses and stockings with bold patterns.
One waved to another girl a little farther up from them.
Natalie turned and handed her umbrella to me and made room for the fourth little girl.
As we crossed the streets and walked further away from their school, they started to go their own way.
Quick goodbyes. All smiles.
I think I’m starting to like Kindergarten.
