Tell a sad story? -- Baby
Blue eyes and red spots

Poor baby is worse
Today than yesterday and
Again tomorrow

Pox of the chicken
Cover my son, from his head
To under diaper

Are you ever not
In the mood to create or
Write? -- What do you do?

When you don't feel well, little things can be a big deal...

Lazy Saturday
I vacuumed and changed the bed --
What accomplishments!

New shoes for baby
Next step is learning to walk --
Fun day-- Mommy's sick

Poem du jour

I'm pretty sure that working in the nursery on Sunday caused me to feel a bit wonky on Wednesday. Now I just have to make sure I don't share anything terrible with my son.

Avoided people
Today because of sore throat.
Wish everyone would.

Purple clouds all day
Should have heralded rain storms
But not a drop fell

Vanilla ice cream
Is the perfect ending to
Partly cloudy day

Sunday was not a
Fun day, but we survived and
Now it is Monday

A ten-minute job
At the car dealership can
Last for four long hours

Apple- banana-
Strawberry juice makes sticky

Little boy climbs mound
Of Daddy-filled blankets and
Squeals out his delight

It's amazing how much the landscape of your house can change when there is a little one crawling around.

Purple elephant
In living room -- Either I
Drink or I'm a mom

poem du jour

Two poems today. One for yesterday:

Daddy called the house
The baby glares at the phone
Hits it, wails -- Long night!

And one for today:

Nothing makes me laugh
Faster than a baby's laugh --
A shiver of stars.

Today's short poem:

Helpful me: irons
Ungraceful me: burns my thumb --
Won't do that again!

Saturday's:

In air seven hours;
California, seven days.
Hope they pass quickly

Sunday's:

Chloe the cat sits
Centered on the bathroom floor
And howls like the wind

Here are the poems for Thursday:

Sophie's doctor said
Yesterday -- Her knee's better --
Don't hurt it again!


And for Friday:

Thursday's nixed landing
Makes weekend plans uncertain --
Unstable weather!

Our computer is sick, so I probably won't be posting until it's mended.

Yesterday's poem:

California fires
Menace the state, but, so far,
Relatives are safe


Today's:

Computer is down --
Jeff called his brother to try
To cheer it up soon

I just love the exersaucer for our baby -- unfortunately, he's on the last setting and he's running out of leg room.

Bouncing bouncy boy –
How will we manage when he
Outgrows his saucer?

Shorter poetry this week

Our cat Chloe looks an awful lot like an African wildcat. Sometimes she acts an awful lot like an African wildcat.

The dog nipped the cat
Cat was scared and jumped and sprayed –
Had to change my dress

Shorter poetry this week

Sometimes a poem is a message.

Mom said she could make
Halloween and Christmas treats
If you would like them

Another short one today:

The little boy knows
That Daddy’s home, so he screams
Instead of napping

Here is the poem for today:

Little boys have a switch:
One minute laughing and then
The switch flips – Goodnight!

Shorter poetry this week

All was forgiven...

Husband came home late –
Later than I expected –
But he brought dinner

Another short poem today:


Sunny morning turned
Stormy, stormy afternoon –
Baby stuck inside
