I wanted to share something with you that I found on Facebook last night. It's written by a friend and parent of one of my piano students. I thought it was so cute and well written. I hope you enjoy. Sympathies accepted. ;)
Dear Winter,
You know and we know that we live in your territory, your home turf. You make the rules up here and we live under them. And, really, we like you a lot. We love the sun glittering off your snow on a clear day, all those winter sports (and the snow days, don’t get me started, those are awesome!). You make Christmas feel like Christmas after all. But, I think the time has come for us to have a little honest chat. Really. Last year we were delighted to see you and enjoyed our time together. But, frankly, you overstayed your welcome. By a lot. Remember Easter? Usually that is your final goodbye. But then it was well into April and you were still partying on. Remember how May came and you were finally making that last trip out to the car? That was a little tiresome. Now we have not even reached Halloween and you have come blustering back with all your luggage in tow like you plan to stick around a while. Usually a quick overnight stay around this time is expected. Maybe even a long weekend. But this? This feels like you have moved in for good, and it’s just too early (There. I said it.). So, Winter, here’s the deal. We’ll be happy to host you for Thanksgiving, delighted to see you at Christmas, and please, stay until Easter if you want (we kind of expect it). But you just can’t get too comfortable yet. We don’t have room for you in October.
Love,
The Yoopers

I like that. I'm not ready for it and I don't want it to stick around too long. It can leave right after Christmas and I'd be happy. :)
ReplyDeleteYou do have a busy schedule. I hope you take time to do something just for Julie. Take care.
Very cute post by your friend/student's mom!! I wouldn't be able to tackle half of your list, Julie! Sure hope you got on it and got it done so you can relax tomorrow!!
