Today

Rather Tonight,
I sit here in my boy short and tank top
eating shaved ham on wheat thins
Sippin' on a diet Pepsi and
I finally can breathe

Christmas program part deux
The wee dude was a wild beast
I feel exhausted
and I have so much more to do before my head hits the pillow

I have to admit
I walk around in my underwear
I eat snacks, preferably meat late at night
I am an extended breast feeder
and my son is sleeping in his crib for like the 5th time in his life

I am tired
hungry
and the 4 loads of laundry
are cursing at me
calling me dirty names

I hope tomorrow comes slowly

  1. Hope you are having a good day so far. Here in Bozeman, Christmas vacation is just around the corner. I can hardly wait!

  2. I'm doing the cursing laundry right now too. I hope the "work" fairy arrives while you're sleeping to help out.

  3. That was a sweet down home poem. I loved it, it's classic and timeless and could have been written in the 1940's as well as today.

    Thank you, for the sweetness.
