The weekend arrived
One would think I would have time
to write and read and relax.
But instead ...

I slept in (an extra half an hour)
Made breakfast for my family
Walked the dog
Cleaned and organized
Made a light lunch
Organized and cleaned
Stopped at the library
Ran to the sports store
Walked the dog again
Fixed dinner
Finally showered
Had date night at the movies
with the entire family

The house is now quiet
Everyone is in bed
I finally have a moment
to write this weekend.

    Sounds like a busy, but productive day. I hope you have some time to rest over spring break. Is that this week?

    Weekends are a different kind of busy, but a mom’s work never ends. I like this list poem!

    You’re a busy lady! I also like your list poem. I chuckled about date night with the entire family. It’s also neat how you changed the font style to change the alone time-neat move!

    I like this list poem--list poems are among my favorites to read (I need to try writing them more often, I think). I also always think I'll have more moments to write on the weekends, but they seem to be even busier!

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
