Single Minded Valentine #6 : collage valentine for K.

Here is  the tangible valentine I made for K for 2011.


The message that goes with is this:
"Amid all the clamor and noise,
 amid all the oaty and blueberries, and music
and lazy mornings and 'up and out' days, amid 
all the adventures, ideas and animals,
amid Captain Rex, Kit Fisto, Luminara, Obi Wan, Ahsoka and Yoda,
amid all the mountains and storms in our life,  
my love for you is the calm, still center
of everything.

 So, yes, that was a lot of sweetness and light. And all very true. You might need to brush your teeth. Ah, the eye-rolling torpor of joy.

But, just as night follows day...
 Never fear my grumpy, reality-bound friends, because tomorrow's valentine, "The Difficult Valentine," features profanity from the child and a Joan Crawford impersonation by me( without any physical abuse.) taking place from 1:30am to 4am in our apartment because someone had the sniffles and would not blow his nose.( and believed that blowing his nose or using saline was on par with water-boarding and screamed bloody murder. A power struggle extraordinaire!  And then the crazy, careening, sleepy days that followed.
Stay tuned.

Everyone sleep well.
