Day of Appointments

Woke this morning to get the kids off to school

Next came Tommy‘s IEP (2.5 hours)

Lunch

Leaving just enough time for Babies R Us

Then pickup Tommy from school

To take him to his doctor’s appointment

Then rushing home to put in 8 hours of work

In a 2 hour spance of time

To be shortened through a required software update

Amidst a computer repair for a friend tonight

I must squeeze in two days of work

And familial duties.

Sweetness

Tonight is so beautiful

The fog is thick

And the air absolutely still

Only a car or two can be heard

    in the distance

No planes fly tonight

Few lights pollute the darkness

The crickets are silent

The possum and raccoon have stayed home

A hoot owl speaks twice then says no more

My puppy sits faithfully with me

She too is still like the air

The air is crisp like a walk-in freezer

    at the grocery

But not cold

I could sleep on this log tonight

There is magic in the air

Blessed be

I have found calm and peace

After having a child yell at me

    For three hours

Stop Dreaming While You Can

I have watched so many simple dreams and wishes fade off into the distance that I have reached a point in my life where I believe it is less painful to quit dreaming than it is to have dreams and not see them fulfilled.

Giving up? No. I need not dreams. My children need dreams and hopes. Rather than waste dreams on me I will help them develop their own dreams and be happy by seeing theirs fulfilled.
