Friday night dates

Classic Smith date night
Tasty food, thrilling movie
Best conversation

Still...

Shh! Baby napping, 

precious moments of quiet 

must soak each one in

Hello Weekend!

Welcome back, Friday
Feels too long since I've seen you
Relax, stay awhile.

Sick baby

Visitors beware
Sick, cranky baby lives here
She's taken over

Up late...

Only me awake
Husband blissfully dreaming
Jealousy abounds.

As I pull out my fall wardrobe...

Air finally crisp
Sweaters wait expectantly
Hello, wooly friends!

Haiku for Friday

Upcoming weekend

Deep sigh, shoulders fall relaxed

see you soon, lesson plans

It's that time already

Back to life, back to reality...so the story goes. I'm officially back to work in the truest sense of the word. I have sat in meetings, worked on bulletin boards, and tweaked lesson plans. In just a week from today I will students in room ready (hopefully) to learn all about writing, grammar, and literature. I feel over the moon. I love what I do. God's mercy is overwhelming.
So, for today, a back to work haiku-
Classroom too quiet
Lessons prepped, teacher ready
Just need my students

The minutes slowly passing...

Cannot sleep a wink
Mind deserves over-time pay
Clock plays the villian

Date night Haiku

Perfect summer night

long walks, ice cream, closest friend

Still twitterpated.

Haiku for Ainsley

Commence nap boycott
Bottom lip far protruded
Alligator tears

The love of a good man

The Smith ladies are sick. The lone Smith man is holding up the fort. He's bringing me tea and wiping the lady's nose...he's a husband hero tonight. So as I sit in my bed, drinking mint tea and surrounded with kleenex, I will write him a wee haiku to say how much I truly love that man.

body, head aching
drawn bath, hot tea, free childcare
Your tangible love

I am blessed among women. Sick...but blessed.
