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!
