    Hot summer memories

    Sitting in the bathroom while the youngest sings “mommy shark doo de doo” In the bath, I’m left pondering the last 48 hours. It’s hotter than I can remember since I was a kid, and the internet service is painfully slow I didn’t remember how hot days could get, Surrounded by the lush greenery of…

  • Prayer for a tired spirit

    Prayer for a tired spirit

    This week has felt long Weighed heavy on the heart So many lives lost Always tears me apart But work marches on Another problem to heal But what does one do When you’re at your limit to feel? All I can do And all that I know Is to hug my loved one’s closer And…

    Heartache and hope

    I watched my children more closely tonight. It had been a normal day, Maybe better than most. They were happy, and decently mannered. The fights were minor and short. They gave me hugs and kisses Even brushed their teeth and got pyjamas on without complaint. But I held them a little tighter Kissed them a…

    Another Sunday family fun day A long drive for a slice of fun Beach and family Rolled into one The sun was shining The air was warm Not even a cloud Dared ruin the day’s charm Kids splashed and played Having a blast together Even the adults appreciated the weather I diligently applied Sun block…

    An interesting day, Morning spent alone with my thoughts and writing for company Feeling as though I had all the time In the world Then realizing it was already noon The Starbucks barista Excited at my name- My grandma has the same one!

    Rude awakening

    Today I’m tired. I’m glad that Friday is here once more, and that I don’t technically have to wake up for anything tomorrow, Although knowing me, I still will. I have been dragging myself around for the last two days, not knowing why I’m so exhausted. Am I getting sick? Am I over stressed, over…

  • Feline musings

    Feline musings

    The summer sun hits my eyes Closing them, I smile A rumble fills my chest As my pet provides the lap upon which I perch Blinking, I survey my kingdom It will do, For now Irritating subjects surround me But they have their uses The small ones act so silly sometimes, As if they were…

  • Rain dance

    Rain dance

    Halfway through another week, But my brain won’t stop racing. Full of my list and my have to’s While I dream of everything I’d rather be doing. They say life is what happens while you’re making other plans But I’ve been trying harder to live each day to the fullest To hold my children tight…

  • Moments on Tuesday’s

    Moments on Tuesday’s

    Tuesday’s with my family Spaghetti and chicken Snuggles in the evening The rain hits the window But we are safe inside, Toasty and cuddled Tucked in together Side by side by side I look into their soft, Youthful faces And my heart swells Two sizes two big I sigh, Then pull the blankets closer

  • Monday meditation

    Monday meditation

    Another Monday List in hand Wondering how It got so grand If I had another 23 hours In each and every day I could do all of the things And would never have to say I’m sorry I can’t I’d love to but no There’s too many things Without enough time to show The world…
