Today
a rainy day between summer and fall
falling short of summering at all
chalk on the driveway
crumbs on the floor
why doesn't the maid pick up anymore?
baby's running out of space at
-L'Hotel Economie.
was there ever a time for
Victoria's Secrecy?
toddler's sleeping now
for an hour or four
mom's baking brownies -
what calorie war?
Husband's attending
a "Hail and Farewell"
wife's attending
a potty training
(not going so well).
rainbow scrawlings on the table,
juice droppings galore,
polka dotting our carpets, our walls,
and our floor.
Today is a day inside, not out
I'd give nothing to change it
although I may shout,
(cry, bargain, beg, hide far away)
This is our living,
This is today.

Aw, a special "word play" just for me!!! :-) Thanks E! You're so imaginative!
Check out my cousins blog http://www.marshallmurphy.blogspot.com/, she's the one who lost her son Marshall while I was living at P-ville with you guys. On her latest post, she asked everyone who "stalks" her blog to leave a comment...you should see how many people have just happened upon her page and kept reading...she has people reading from all over the world!!! I think you'd enjoy her writing, it's very similar to yours. Check it out when you have time.
Love you,
Tracy
Hey lady,
The pictures look great!
I wanted to thank you for viewing my cousin's blog! I think you'll find it amusing, and just like with yours, I'm on everyday waiting for updates.
Love you,
ME
