How did the week creep up so fast?

Only two more days until another weekend

and my to-do list has grown once again.

The long weekend has gone

and taken its usual toll,

with fond memories and sleep deprivation

all I have to show for it.

Now I’m confused

about where my time goes

as I get ready for bed again.

I watch my little one relax,

a small 26 pound ball of warmth

next to me m, saying,

“I tired”

and I sigh.

Time keeps running away on me.

One of these days I’ll try to catch it,

but for now it’s time for bed.

Maybe tomorrow.
