Adventures in Parenting

Monday night game night,
our new favorite game is
"Find the retainer."

#MyLifeInHaiku

Forsaken

Internet down since Thursday. Can't install FB on my phone.

WHY HASN'T THE GOVERNOR DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY!?!?!

On the flip side, I am blissfully behind on the latest Drumph shit show.

#FirstWorldProblems

Men's soccer

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
That's gonna bruise.

#MyLifeInHaiku

For better or worse

I do not recall
"I will hang dry delicates,"
as a wedding vow.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Apparently

It's after midnight,
I'm drunk tweeting and posting,
I'm presidential.

#MyLifeInHaiku

One day

I'm sure that one day,
I will miss these things you do,
but not very soon.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Growing pain

Braces? Expanders?
The next parenting chapter
begins in the red.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Jarred

My peaceful slumber
disturbed by the voice of Trump
should have chose buzzer.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Tranquility

That inner calmness
and clarity of thinking
when caring ceases.

#MyLifeInHaiku
Tonight for dinner
I'm making a dish I call
"leftover surprise."

#MyLifeInHaiku

Thought progression

A child is crying
at the park. Is it mine? No.
Return to Facebook.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Faith

Wet spot in bathroom;
I'm just going to believe
that it is water.

Wild Man

Today, for my lunch: 
a vegan dish, topped with cheese.
Sometimes, just because.

102 minute hardship

My Touch ID hand is hooked up to the Apheresis machine. Need to manually enter my pass code.

#FirstWorldProblems

Ding-a-ling

The first ice cream truck
rolling through, blaring music;
the sounds of summer.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Countdown

Summer vacation:
the quick way to determine
which parents plan well.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Mid-life Desire

I still like sports cars, 
but mini-vans with built-in
vacuums turn me on.

Ășltimo huevo

How many can say
"I am eating the last egg
that my chicken laid."?

Futbol, Footbal, Fussball, Soccer

Copa America, 
Euro Cup 2016,
a soccer fan's dream.

High school reunion.
Too bad we weren't all so chill
when we were eighteen.

Boomerang

Behold, the school lunch,
packed with love and care each day.
Returned uneaten.

Psychosomatic

Nothing makes my head itch
like a letter sent from school
regarding head lice.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Not in Kansas anymore

I've traveled far, far
away to a strange land called
the "Mercer Island."

#MyLifeInHaiku

Quid pro quo

I will accept dismissal of judge Curiel from the Trump U case on the grounds of his being Mexican as soon as we dismiss a Trump candidacy on the grounds of Trump being a racist asshole.

Timing is everything, part 2

An hour past bedtime
is the best time to mention
the hives, there since lunch.

#GTFTS

Timing is Everything

When it's time to leave
is always the time that my
kids need to go poo.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Empty Nest

The coop is empty.
The three hens, once four, are no more.
Chicken and dumplings.

#MyLifeInHaiku

Weekend warrior

It's not my ego,
but memories writing checks
my body can't cash.

Professional Development Days

Whoever thought up
two-hour early dismissal
hated all parents.

#MyLifeInHaiku


Legal tender

I am not sure what
currencies Uber accepts,
I take macarons.

unclean

I feel so dirty
each time I search "Donald Trump"
to fact check my snark.

#MyLifeInHaiku

A good day

Some days it's enough
to have pizza on the beach
and help your neighbors.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat

The laundry hamper
I emptied just yesterday
is full once again.

#MyLifeInHaiku

SWOT

I can cook dinner,
Wash clothes and fold the laundry.
I don't gift wrap well.

Naproxen, two pills,
Glucosamine twice a day,
