Never Disappointed! 

I woke up with an
electrical excitement
reverberating through
my bones.
I got right to my chores.
There were meals to plan,
shopping lists to create,
groceries to buy,
sheets to wash, and
potato leek soup to make.

I diligently dealt with demands.
I planned,
and washed,
and cooked.
I looked up the local
listings.
I confirmed that I had
to be done by 4:30,
to make my brilliant
plan work.

At 4:15, I washed
the last dishes,
and poured the soup
into the Crock Pot.
When I slipped the
last of the laundry
in to dry,
I knew I had
made my time.

We hopped into the car.
We drove to Silvercity.
We sat in the
centre, centre seat.
(Liam has done the Math
and figured out which seats
actually place us dead centre)
With popcorn in hand,
water and Cosmic Brownies
hidden in my backpack,
we saw it.
We saw Tim Burton's
Frankenweenie.
I laughed,
I nearly cried.
We screamed,
and smiled
until it hurt.
It was AMAZING!
The movie,
the anticipatory day...
I'm never disappointed!

   If All Else Fails...  

I'm not quite sure yet,
what I am going to write.
Maybe a Haiku!

                    The Bottom Line

No matter how many bad days that I have,
It's working with kids that makes me feel glad.

Sally

       A Warm and Fuzzy...

My favourite part of my working day
is when I come home and see,
my husband and my children
all waiting there for me.

Cream?

Inevitably,
I have a day
that leaves me
convinced
I need
a
career change.
Today was
THAT day.
Serving coffee
sounds mighty
good
right about now.

A Clerihew for Liam.


                      Runners Ready?

My youngest son Liam is a cross-country track star.
He sets a good pace, and manages to run far.
His stride and his focus are really quite dandy,
you'd think he was winning a big pile of candy!

I woke up smiling
Thanks for a lovely evening
You're such a good friend
