Lovely weekends!

Saturday!

saturday morning
savoring the peacefulness
then the kids find me

Sunday:

using Google Earth
reviewing the days travels
it wasn't that flat.

Fruit, protein and dessert all at the same time! That's called being efficient!

my lunch was ice cream
with peanuts and banana
fruit makes it healthy!

Early summer in my back yard!

Tuesday:
I love my backyard
a suburban oasis
weird neighbors and all
(full disclosure: I'm probably the 
weirdest person in the neighborhood.)

Wednesday:
mowing doesn't stop
the grass and weeds keep growing
why do I bother?

Today!
i'm one with the grass
the squirrels have forgotten
mwah ha ha ha ha

Sunday and Monday. Here's to old friends and sweet preteen sons.

Sunday:
even after years,
a few moments together
dissolves the distance.


Monday:
sitting on my lap
edging towards puberty
but for now, a boy.

Four Days at Once! Woo Hoo! Enjoy!

Weds:
Uneventful Day
Can be relaxing or dull
Depends on my mood.

Thurs:
family road trip
sunny pleasant afternoon
spent with each other




Fri:
kids at the dentist
good checkup and free toothbrush
braces in future.


Sat:
the world is not flat
it is most certainly round
why are people dumb?
(for the record this had very little to do with the events of my actual day, I just thought it was funny.)

Kids, kids, kids today!

Yesterday's:

guns and sword from sticks
a child's imagination
great battles are fought

Today's:

allergies are mean
they make my little boy sick
war against the pollen!

Bad, bad doggies!

empty cookie box
peanut butter in bedroom
dog's ill-gotten gains....



Saturday, May 15, 2010

I admit I have a problem.....but at least it makes me productive!

Yesterday:
cleaning the windows
removing leaf dams from eaves
houses take much work!

This morning's:

This is horrible!
A problem that must be solved!
Out of Diet Coke....

Yesterday's and Today's

Yesterday:
Preteen melting down
Homework to much to bear
Mommy love will help.


Today:
Rain Rain Go Away
Come again another Day
Wow! That's a haiku!

You won't like me when I'm angry...

Grumpy PMS
Heads get bitten off at will.  
I need chocolate.

3 Days Worth....

I've had them written, I just didn't get a chance to post!
So here is Friday's - I'd missed some yoga classes and was SOOO happy to get back to it.


Meditative State
my third eye looks back at me
does it ever blink?

Saturday:  We went to Albany to the Tulip Festival

Tulip Festival
OK Go Free in Concert
It was a FUN day!


And finally for Mother's Day:

Thank-you to my Mom
I was a twit, now I know...
my kids are like me.

I love a good cuddle on a cool spring day!

Dog on either side.
Their warmth against my body.
Devoted cuddlers!

Revenge is Sweet

Angry headless stems.
Dandelions last revenge
on heartless mower.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

My dogs won't fetch either....

Lots of tennis balls
floating in the local pond.
Someone's dog won't fetch.



Monday, May 3, 2010

I got lots done today!

Busy, busy day
I was productive at last!
Took me long enough!

The Best Seat in the House

Lawn chair in the sun,
Move, and Zinger steals your spot.
Hey! That was my seat!

Relaxing Dogs

In the grass under the tree
Resting or watching?
