minds miles away
the coveted hush descends
it’s library day

my head is spinning
good thing there’s somewhere to sit
furniture shopping

just control yourself
I smugly think, to those who
often overspend

I pride myself on
being frugal, no credit
card catastrophes

I’ll just get diapers
I told myself, and entered,
mental blinders on

I couldn’t resist
Target: shopper’s Waterloo
I’ll take four, to go

bumping through the day
*gasp* - how long can this go on?
bad case of hiccups

pare down the chaos
to seventeen syllables
haiku therapy

oh my little boy
with tongue as blue as your eyes
don’t eat the Play-doh

inspired athlete
running laps around our house
olympic hopeful

staring mesmerized
their virtual exercise
summer olympics

the house is a mess
mom gets her P.E. credits
scrubbing kitchen floors

melting chocolate
with a magnifying glass
science meets dessert
