As a writer, homeschooling mom, and lover of opera, I thought I would inject a little culture into my blog today. So here, for your reading pleasure, a selection of haiku inspired by my day.
Monday kicked my butt
Nothin’ surprising ’bout that
Me and Monday…ugh.
**********************
Stupid, stupid dog
Shredding diaper on my floor
Why do you eat poo?
*******************************
Wasn’t I just sick?
Run over by a Mack truck.
Go get your own milk.
**********************************
Velcro monkey boy
Doesn’t want his diaper changed
I need hazard pay.
***************************************
Up extra early.
Didn’t make any difference.
Always running late.
***********************************
Can’t leave in PJs–
My New Year’s Resolution
Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.
*****************************************
Garage door opener
won’t close when it gets too cold.
That’s when I need it.
*************************************************
Low Coolant? For Real?
Stupid lying dashboard light.
Hope I make it home….
***************************************************
Hurk. Hurk. Hurk. Hurk. Hurk.
Someone find the stupid cat!
On my shoe? Lovely….
*********************************************
Wiggles. Veggietales.
Wiggles. Veggietales. Wiggles.
Why some moms take meds.
**********************************************
Ssshh. I am hiding.
They will never find me here.
Dang. I spoke too soon.
****************************************
Yes, I know it’s cold.
We don’t own the propane co.
Go put on your socks.
****************************************
Cook, clean, teach, kiss, read.
Dad brought animal crackers.
I am chopped liver.
*********************************************
Thank you God for clothes
Piled in baskets everywhere.
Wish they’d fold themselves….
***********************************
Two bounty hunters
stalking through my living room
They want spaghetti.
*********************************************
Burned the chicken–oops.
What will we have for dinner?
Got no back-up plan.
****************************************
Giggling, snuggling, warm
Hugs and butterfly kisses
Man, I love my life.

We are in the process of adopting a little girl with Down syndrome from Eastern Europe. If not adopted by the age of 4, orphans with Down syndrome are transferred to mental institutions, where they typically die within the first year from trauma and neglect. Thank you for being a part of our journey!About Ashley
Join me on my journey as I attempt to juggle four children (not literally, of course), marriage, a writing career, homeschooling, Down syndrome, adolescence, dueling food allergies, one llama, one horse, two goats, two dogs, and one bulimic cat.
