CPA meeting
So proud to be working with
Such great officers.

Rocking my tests
Visiting the girls' classes
Enjoying my time.

Our anniversary.
Thirteen years together as
Husband and wife now.

Confidence soars high
Ninety two on my lab test
means I rock bio!

I was plagiarized
It's a horrible feeling
Never again please

Happy Birthday house
Two years ago we moved in
And still I unpack!

Been here two years now
Why am I still so homesick
For a hated place?

I love my classes
Learning what it's really like
To be in college.

Fell off the wagon
Lost my motivation too
But I shall write now.

School is in session
Time to learn just what college
Can do for me now.

A birthday today
Would have been ninety two years
But you're in heaven.

Three point five number
Means so much to me because
It reflects my work.

Wild Dunes vacation
Peace, beach, relaxation and
kids having a blast

Semester finals
Nerves are getting shakier
Brain is mushier.

One Semester Down
Five or six more to go now.
Until my degree

Police academy.
My social calendar blank.
Wish this funk would end.

Dada I miss you.
A year ago Meg was here.
A whole family.

Oh Lewy Bodies
You're stealing and corrupting.
And leaving sadness.

Monday relaxing.
No school and no agenda.
School starts tomorrow.

Easter on Sunday.
Chocolate bunnies arrive.
And are soon eaten.

Saturday peaceful.
Start the garden and get sun.
Dirty fingers washed.

Stressed out and still sore.
Good Friday fasting is done.
Almost chocolate.

Tired and sore neck.
Car in bits and pieces but
my family is whole.

Sunset in hammock.
Listening to the birds chirp.
Pink swirly clouds drift.

Finished my blanket.
Tested it out with a nap.
Mission accomplished.

I suck at Scrabble.
My blanket is almost done.
Did not go to church.

Sunshine and cool breeze.
Pink blossoms on the peach trees.
I'm thankful for these.

Dinner at Ryans.
Crocheted my fingers to rocks.
Snoring drives me nuts.

Police academy.
Wish I was alot younger.
Wish I was in shape.

He brought me flowers.
The sun shined really brightly.
Happiness visits.

Monday taunted me.
So tired yet so busy.
And now for bedtime.

Lunch out and shopping.
My favorite people here.
Rainy weather yuck.

Alone here tonight.
Fun in the nice warm weather.
Burgers on the grill.

Wonderful playdate.
Fun with new friends at home makes
for a happy heart.

Nervous energy.
My company tomorrow
makes me feel lowly.

I can crochet now!
Google can do wonders for
The searching psyche.

Children wide awake.
My mind is exhausted and
I'm tired of yelling.

Monday business.
Accomplished several goals.
Laundry and much more.

Missed church this morning.
Time changed and alarm clock failed.
Rum and coke suffice.

So tired tonight.
Painting brings satisfaction.
And achy body.

One year ago now.
My journey started anew.
And yours continued.

Coffee, warm and sweet.
Makes the dreary day pass.
Keeps me wide awake.

Rainy out today.
Sad the sun is hiding but
The temp is sixty.

Seedlings sprout up.
Become a bunny rabbit
from too much lettuce.

Dance classes today.
Beautiful walk in downtown.
Warm tomorrow too!

Sun on a Sunday.
Visiting church family.
Holy Trinity.

Working with your hands.
Dig in the dirt and feel it.
Plants will grow here soon.

Good morning Daddy!
Your little girls so happy.
That daddy is home!

Husband in Raleigh.
LANDesk meeting today.
Coming home later.

Snow is falling down.
Not piling up, just pretty.
Two hour delay.

My poor sick Bubba.
Fun yesterday, coughing now.
Bad weather coming.

Very fun playdate.
Do homework, have Happy Meals.
Put Monday to rest.

Family values
Bible study with my girls.
Sweet satisfaction.

Roller skate party.
Lunch date turns to long playdate.
Happy kids and moms.

Parents night at church.
Having dinner with my husband.
Long drive in his car.

Feeling so unwell.
No need for a diet now.
Appetite has left.

A new addition.
Another Kia in our drive.
One less Mercedes.

Bringing snacks to school.
I wish she could go here always.
Public school scares me.

Resting in my bed.
Tomorrow is filled with to-dos.
Cross them off my mind.

Sleep isn't working.
I need to sleep or tomorrow
Is going to suck.

Relaxing at home.
It's the best way to spend today.
Clean up the playroom.

Stuffy nose can't breathe.
Making my head feel like beef stew
that we had last night.

Good morning girls.
Vowing to be productive
On my long day here.

Ash Wednesday at church.
Committing myself to prayer.
Fasting is harder.

Had my day in court.
Not what I wanted to happen,
But outcome was fair.

I have a secret.
Tomorrow I will go to court
To defend myself.

Mixed emotions.
Lord, help me see my path clearly,
So I can have peace.

Another snow day!
Playing outside, making snowmen,
and hot cocoa smiles.

Storm is on the way!
Get your bread and milk and eggs now!
Before it's too late!

Thursday is the day
It keeps the weekend out of reach.
Is it Friday yet?

Coughing up a lung.
About as fun as it sounds.
Nyquil here I come!

Phlegm is in my throat.
I can't sleep in my own bed.
He has a real job.

Oh Monday, Monday.
Why do you torture me so.
The day without end.

Super Bowl on tonight.
Watching with Joe on the couch.
Comfy and cozy.

Slept the whole day through.
Joe watched the girls so I could.
I still feel tired.

I'm feeling unwell.
Stuffy head and scratchy throat.
Early to dreamland.

Cd drive on order.
One week until it comes.
And the kids rejoice.

I played tech support.
School computer broken.
Toddlers were unhappy.

Went to church for you.
Felt peaceful in the habits
That you helped me learn.

Seven years gone by.
How can it be that long past?
I miss you Nana.

No school tomorrow.
A snow day they have declared.
Laundry and cleaning.

Snowed in together.
How lovely and white and cold.
Makes my heart feel full.

Scratchy throat not good.
Children don't have it, not yet.
I hope it's just me.

You want a new car.
I want a secure future.
You get your wants first.

State of the Union
Chicken for dinner not steak
on my wedding plates.

Ho hum its Tuesday
Maybe we'll eat out tonight?
Husband will decide :)

School awards day
Elizabeth made honors
Katherine is cute.

Another migraine
Not going to church today
or anywhere else.

Because I said so.
Act your age not your shoe size.
Rest in peace Carson.

Husband out tonight
Girls in bed and time to sleep
Sweet dreams to you all.

Rainy cold wet day
Perfect day for sleeping in
School bell will ring soon.

Sunshine continues.
Brilliant child of ours
Shines even brighter.

Sunshine and warm breeze.
How happily the kids play.
School on Wednedsay!

A quiet Monday
Two days off and good weather
Playdate at Kids World.

You peed in a cup
Sunday school gave you a chance
To not be punished.

Lazy Saturday
Relax and make food for the
neighbors' gathering.

Ate too much today.
Spent a pleasant time with Joe.
Must get party food.

Another Thursday
Lunch with my friend Stephanie
Made the day brighter.

Went to lunch with Joe
Registered Kat for "big school"
Working on a file.

Coffee cup empty
Heart is full of gratitude
More coffee awaits.

Is it really dawn?
Bed too warm to brave the cold.
Children too cranky.

Sunday morning peace.
Going to church but alone.
Peaceful time passes.

Sleeping husband sleeps
The children have found markers.
White walls colored now.

It is Friday.
The weekend comes too slowly
And leaves too quickly.

Good Morning Sunshine.
It is so cold out today.
I love my remote.

Ice cream cake I eat
Please don't go straight to my hips.
Too sinful to resist.

Happy Birthday Joe!
My love for you grows each year.
You are my true love.

Monday is here again.
Drag the sleepy kids from bed.
Drink more coffee.

Another Sunday
Eat lunch out at Red Robin
French fries call to me.

Saturday at home
Sleep in late and eat some eggs
Bake a loaf of bread.

Welcome!

I decided to start this blog because although I spend a lot of time on the computer, I don't usually sit to write for very long at any one time. I thought maybe if I could express my thoughts within the framework of haiku poems, it would be a little less intimidating, and maybe a lot of fun. So join me if you will on my haiku journey.

Haiku: A Japanese poem composed of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables.

Edited to add:
I have decided to expand my project slightly. Given that some haiku may be a bit vague, I will periodically include a link to my new new blog, Expanded Expressions, so I can express my other thoughts without the constraint of the Haiku and without messing up my format on this blog. Enjoy!
