Charlie and kids out.
I sit on the couch, read, and
chat on the Twitter.
Time to go get girls,
No way – my keys are missing.
Where the heck are they?
Search the entire house,
Every surface in every room.
Charlie’s gonna kill me.
Where’d I leave them now?
Third purse search yields them hidden
In secret pocket.
On the road to gym.
What’s this? A frakking detour?
SO gonna be late.
Try to call the gym,
But no 3G on detour.
Dumb AT&T.
Call gym just in time
To keep Abby from leaving.
“Don’t let her outside!”
Say hi to my girls.
“I’m tired!” “I have a headache!”
“I still want dessert!”
Hit Starbucks drive-thru,
Frappuccinos for us all.
Decaf for my sake.
Countdown has begun.
Enter house with whining kids.
Dress, teeth, pray, then BED.
Watch football with my man.
Scare dogs again with blog post.
Perfect end to the day.
I KNOW, I WROTE TWO BLOG POSTS. IN ONE WEEK. ONE AFTER THE OTHER! I’M A MYSTERY WRAPPED IN AN ENIGMA!
(And I’ll stop shouting now.)
You might even hear from me again this week. But I prefer to exceed expectations. So keep ‘em LOW.

What a day!
I can’t write a haiku to save my life. Kudos.

Yer a poet don’t know it
Feet show it
Longfellows.
Yeah, that’s why I don’t write poetry.

Lovely haiku. I’m too lazy to write haiku, but since it is a holiday, I may try…

You always exceed
MY expectations: HAIKU?
Even now, you rock.

Lost keys other day…
Swore at hubs on speaker phone
Thought it was his fault
It was my own fault
Apologized a whole bunch
I hate those darn keys
