i am the good witch today
on rachael ray
she is a delight
in every capacity

4 20 i woke up
wide awake
oy vey
sleep stress striving

this too shall pass
not easy to remember
while pushing out a kid / a kidney stone
or quieting jittery inside angst

we r ready for halloween
hoping for sunny skies
as the parade of kids in strollers
pushed by proud parents passes by

r yard is decorated
not martha but me
blow up displays
available at target - my favorite store ever

this year its lighted bouncy balls
and full sized bars
  ... always the little things
that help us thru the big ones

parkers soccer team went undefeated this season
basketball begins soon
parents in the stands
my childhood dream righted

me now the grown up
always hard to believe
as i watch my tall handsome son
finish a jim dandy at friendlys

full circle
life
with gratitude and grace
in spite of fear

we pray

a young handsome dad
31 - adorable
walks into the studio
10 folded white t shirts
in his hands

tall
redish brown hair
he sits in my pottery barn chair
my favorite one
with the cool multi colored slipcover

chris - he invented
POPTHATZIT.COM
and it has changed my life
fair warning
it is addictive

very
some people think its gross times a billion
i cant get enough

chirs just had a son
just
like 4 days ago
a little boy
born a month early
over 6 lbs

still with tubes
lungs almost ready
steady oxygen to fill tiny lobes
beauty in every way

the new dad tells of the pain
thru loving wet eyes
seeing his tiny son tubes in his arms
un able to be held
quite yet

what unites us
always
children
our own
each others
the worlds

children arriving daily
to save each one of us
and then
themselves

welcome maxwell
walk in light my son
this aint no womb
its gonna be a bumpy ride

but oh
the joy
live
live
