tonight's adventure-
three boys full of sugar
at dinosaur show

Mobile Dreams

Lord help me
to buy a car that runs well
with no money

half a free day-
gardening and reading
can't wait to lounge

glimpse of light

after months of work
still long way in the distance
a pinprick of light

one of those days....

one of those days-
glad today's dinner is made
and the laundry done

getting there....

busy all around
working to get some rest in
between busy bouts

running for my life
broken lines with payroll due-
chaos theory lab

end of the week
errands out the wazoo
and a clean kitchen

Admission

after two hard weeks

saying out loud to myself

I'm a list person

presents from afar

nice surprise

box of salt water taffy

from one of the kids

out of the gate....

running for my life

walking around like the man

and getting it done

In it to win it

staff meeting

new duties as of today

joy and rapture unforeseen

Midday Fun

quick stop at home
scratching the kitty's stomach
for a hot minute

babysitting late
kids and I curl up on couch
and wait for mom

Hep Me...

Shift from hell day two-
spending more than an hour
sorting shift logs

After the Weekend

start of new week
trying to rush out the gate
with one eye opened

new supervisor

chatting about maintenance

kindred spirits

Proud Mama

early morning-
dead mouse outside bedroom door
cat flicks his tail

warm spring day

enjoying yardwork

and outdoor chores

The Battle Rages On...

late at night

Yui and I parting ways

at the bedroom door

*my white cat
