Mailbox Philosophy ...

Posted in: CHOH

Okay so I'm "out there" in opions and thought process-ees

I have a funny way of looking at the mailbox thing -- I was one of the home owners who everyone complained about -- I admit it -- haha

"a mailbox is the window to the sole of the home"  

(this is meant to be funny by the way ....)

So I like being an individual -- had my own look according to my mailbox

once it was run over by a teen it showed what was happening inside the house -- chaos (-- of course there are teens ...)

once it was run over again and bungy corded it showed that we care but have no time to do anything and we were hanging on by a rope .... and by the way it still showed my individuallity -- crative with a few kinks -- now complete wtih bungee cords

oh how may more run overs are there -- not by my kids -- now we have a home that is the place everyone comes to -- but that's okay -- isn't that what we want --kids to feel welcome "go a head run over my box"

okay so now the neighbors are talking ... do I care??? no my mailbox is my cry for help -- please understand we have chaos here .... feeling out of control -- go ahead feel better run over my mailbox my shoulders are strong I can take it I love you anyway!

so Hubby looses his job -- and a windstorm is happening inside and out -- darn there goes the mailbox turing on its head .....  now even if i had time or energy (or cared) can I afford to get a new mailbox??

yes yes they are cheap but I'm not -- I want it to be nice .... after all things are getting better kids are growing and I want a box to reflect the inside of my home ... still no money though

It gets REALLY bad when your neighbor brings one and leaves it for you to plant -- "hint hint" --- okay I'm not offended -- but I have to laugh at how this stupid mailbox has reflected my life

so we sucomb and get a REALLY nice box -- and actully put it up -- it is LOVELY but needs numbers

put em on and they fall off (I'm in menopause now) put em up they fall off put em up this time forever and I'don't care if they fall again

so now okay everything is good -- house is fine inside and out -- Mailbox upright and nice -- then minding my own business refecting on how it's okay now we are "kopisaic" as hubby says ....

I get an e-mail "what happened?? Your mailbox is upsidedown .... was it the wind??"

no "I say just a refelction ... must have been a loose screw"  ahhhh Life ....

I went away for the weekend and my friends came and fixed it -- how nice .... a reflection of how things are friends inside and out ....

Crazy?  No can't be I have the best box ever now --

have a great day eveyone spring is comming and life moves on and in different directions don't judge a book by it's cover or a mailbox by it's owner
