[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)] BY E. E. CUMMINGS

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)


i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)

i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you


here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart


i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I do this to myself

I don't know what came over me, but I have agreed to take my children to an amusement park with my mom. It will require a 3 hour charter bus ride to get there. I can not even imagine my Little Hurricane on a bus for 3 hours.
I really can't imagine her in an amusement park for 6 hours.

And I really can't imagine a 3 hour ride home.

I will pay for my stupidity. This much I know.

So the plan is for my mom to wrangle Ponky and I will be in charge of Little Hurricane. Maybe we will all stick together and go on the kiddie rides. Ponky is not a daredevil and I know she likes to be with her sister. But....

Will it be too noisy? Too hot? Too many people? Probably. I don't even know where to start to prepare for this. Do I pack the earmuffs? Where do I put them? What about snacks? You aren't supposed to bring in food. What should we wear? I am freaking out!!!!
I am calling the park tomorrow and checking to see what their policy may be for children that will have a screaming meltdown if they have to stand in line for more than 5 seconds. Hopefully they are kind and understanding, in which case I will praise them heavily some time in the future. If they are not, I will scream and vent as soon as possible to the entire interwebs. It's my way.
