Poetry in Motion

Yesterday

Send #1 son off to state XC meet;

He wouldn't eat breakfast.

Took 8-yr-old to skating lesson,

watch her twirl.

Smile.

Head to Target, Hobby Lobby,

and Staples to

find things I need for school; 

Sticker shock at the inflated prices

at Staples.

A project board (it's cardboard, really!)was three times as

much as the very similar one at Hobby Lobby-both big box chains!?

Why, I say!? 

Does noone at Staples go comparison shopping??
Step Down off the I'm-not-crazy soap box.

Breathe.

Drive home, make pb, honey 
with a smidge of nutella

sandwiches.

Road trip across the state to XC Meet.

Read Buying Time by Pamela Samuels Young-

a perfect mystery that had me on the edge of

my less-than-comfortable car seat.
Love husband who always drives.

Smile.

Watch 7 varsity boys from small school take State!!

Woo!  Woo! Woo! (jumping up and down).

A perfect day to be wearing black and orange.

Drive back home, read more of Buying Time.

Make massive bowl of  popcorn for dinner.

Breathe.

Watch this week: Tuesday I review Buying Time and Pamela Samuels Young has a guest post here!  Right here at Peaceful Reader.  I am in the process of switching from a blogspot.com to just a .com but I'm having a few technical difficulties so I hope you can always find me.  Pamela Samuels Young's website.
