Baby wakes me up
Plod down the stairs in the dark
Cat comes and says....food?
Chunky Monkey Boy
Holds his own bottle, mostly
It's dark and quiet
Change clothes and diaper
Happy baby plays with toys
I grab my Bible
Groggily I read
I have a bad attitude
Pray for change in heart
Does it come right now?
It changes slowly with the sun
Not great, but better
I've been in the house
For five days without a break
Sick, sick, kind of well
Surely that attacks
Any sense of perspective
I usually have
Claustrophobia
Can that be caused by children?
Even if I love them?
If I run away
To a sunny beachy place
I promise to write
Alas, in my head
Vacation will stay for now
My brain's in Fiji
My body it seems
Is a little bit stinky
(No deoderant)
But I will fix it
One luxury I do have
Is my whirlpool tub
This, too, shall pass, right?
Happy Friday the Thirteenth
Blessed, not unlucky

Okay, I'm just laughing because I'm picturing you counting on your fingers while saying "no deodorant" out loud.
I also need professional help.
That was awesome :D
Kat...I totally did that.
But "whirl" gave me the most problems. One syllable? Two? Depends on how far south you live?
Thanks, Kathy!
That's why haikus are hard for me- I add an extra syllable to every word.
This, my friend was awesome!
I loved your haikus!
And what Katdish said.
Beth is good with Haiku
She takes the time to share much
What a sweet lady!
Sweetie, If you can write poetry after five flu-ey, gooey days in the house with little kids, you are a winner!!
Praying for you.
Love,
Mom
These are so cool and honest! Took me thru the gamut of your feelings.
And if claustrophobia can't be caught from children, then I have more issues than I realized. ;)
Feel better!
Beth, this was a more complete summary of one's week than I could ever write. I wanted to tap out the syllables and test you, but I knew you were on it. You are one clever cookie, and I'm glad you are feeling better.
I'm laughing because I caught myself counting on my fingers. Funny how you can incorporate things that might not be thought about unless you're writing a Haiku.
Love my Whirlpool Tub!
Seems my children use it more.
So much fun to clean:(
