    Sun day beach day

    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…

    Middle Ages

    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

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Road trips and waterslides

    We took a road trip today, Me and my little ones They wanted waterslides And I obliged Together we drove Two hours in a truck Fighting and singing Until finally we arrived My little sharks Took turns eating my legs Until I had to tell them to stop They splashed Like the fishes they are…

  • Summer dreams of winter

    Summer dreams of winter

    Memories of fallen leaves Twisting at my feet Scraps of sunshine Not strong enough to heat Unbidden the winter falls all around As the plants die, And snow covers the ground The last, faint hold The summer has on the land As the days get shorter And fall takes its own stand It holds onto…

    Friday is an f word

    Friday. Another weekend and plans run through my head. We had a nice little carpet picnic and a movie, Duck, duck, goose. It was so cute, watching the kids laugh at the sight of an older bachelor goose leading two small ducks to a place called Haven. There is nothing better than a grilled cheese…
