my day in haiku

domestic bliss, NaNoWriMo Add comments

Waked by his laughter
The smell of diaper contents
My morning begins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can’t eat the French toast
She’s too full from the cider
But brings her clean plate

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basket’s always full
Machines spin and rock all day
Laundry is my life

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There’s no school today
Parent-teacher conference
So why are we here?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We put money in
Most days it’s the opposite
I still hate the bank

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A short appointment
dentists aren’t scary really
next time they’ll do work

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brief reprieve is here:
we cannot get her x-ray.
No dentist today

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some days it’s easy:
pasta, rice, or potatoes?
Nightly cooking plight

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What’s joint custody?
Shuttle back and forth each time;
hardest on the kids

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How’s your word count now?
Pressure’s on, the month soon ends.
NaNoWriMo sucks

    NaNoWriMo is not a challenge I was up for at all, so I just ignored that tiny little signal that told me to go for it.

    I guess that I should be thankful my husband is MIA, so that I don’t have to deal with the whole joint custody thing. So sorry the kids are going through that–been there, done it, it does suck.
