I have a mug of hot peppermint tea at my elbow, and can’t decide whether to read a book or play plants vs. zombies, decisions decisions.
grrrrrrrrr
irritated
aggravated
agitated
frustrated
and not amused
these are some adjectives
that describe how I feel
about you
right this very moment
yeah, YOU
man that I’m married to
for 14 1/2 years
and counting
who decided
to join Tumblr tonight
but won’t tell me his
*&^%%$#@)(*!@# URL
are you kidding me?!
hope you get this message
at your shiny new Tumblr account
since you know my URL
and I don’t know yours
grrrrrrrrrrrr
fine
be that way
see if I care
cause I totally don’t

P.S. Nothing like an open kitchen window, on a brisk December morning, to get the smoke and smell of charred black toast out of the house ASAP in the morning.
Burned the damn toast.
Not the first time.
My oldest son saw the smoke…before we smelled the burning bread.
One smoke alarm went off.
Then the other.
My hittin’ it with the broom didn’t help.
Except for comic effect.
Did I mention we have someplace to be?
Figures.
As he drank the first cuppa coffee from the new maker, my husband drolly comments, “Maybe we should have gotten a new toaster?”
“It’ll be fine”, I reply.
Adding, “This hasn’t happened in awhile.”
In other news, The Coffee Is Good.
Love, Me
Dear Self,
Brevity.
Work on it.
Love,
Me
a mother’s love
my heart soars
my buttons pop
my smile blooms and beams
I’m proud of you already
and the concert
has yet
to begin

It’s a music listenin’, art makin’ , family huggin’ Saturday here.
concert day
my oldest son is playin’ violin
on campus today
meetin’ extended family there
listening to music played by children
in concert
from the newest musicians
to more experienced
they save the best for last
this is my sons third year
his first concert with Papa’s violin
from my father, to my son
passed hand to hand
skipping a generation
that boy has music
in his heart and soul
I catch him humming
and playing air violin
after practicing
lookin’ forward to a toe tappin’
heart swelling with love
kind of day
it’s concert day

next time
had a bad dream
made myself wake up
rested some
couldn’t sleep
anymore
got up way too early
met the cat in the hallway
laptop on lap
Tumblr open
trying to “catch up”
on two days of posts
not read
yet
100 pages later…
and more reblogs
than I probably should of…
I’ve decided Never Try To “Catch Up” On Tumblr Again
though my heart squeezed in hurt
and soared in joy
as I read your wonderful words
glowing back at me
from my silver laptop screen
next time
I may use that time
to write posts of my own
instead
live and learn
and write
about it
