I'm not around much. I'm always so busy and running behind myself trying to get caught up. I decided to take the afternoon off to do that and now it's evening and I'm still doing it. I'm about to put on my pajamas and pretend it's the end of the day, but I don't know if it will do me any good. Good to "see" you.

Ha ha! Yes ma'am! They keep me up and running every minute of the day...but then, I wouldn't really have it any other way!

Good morning, dear! Yes, it's been far too long since I've had a chance to meander through the site! Unfortunately, I find less and less time....with greater need to write! Funny how that works with kids, huh? Sigh.....it's good to hear from you. I hope you have a blessed day!

About Me:
I'm 36, married, mother of 3. I put writing on hold when I became a mom and now that I have taken it back up I find that being a mom has given me so much material!

I'm currently working on my 1st novel and I love six sentences because it challenges me to make my words count and really say something important in just a few lines.

Thank you for reading my stuff. I hope you enjoyed it.

A six!

Sleepy Morning

I hid my smile and pretended to stay asleep this morning when I felt him crawl in bed with me. Ben frequently woke me this way and it was one of my favorite ways to be woken. He snuggled in close to me, until our noses were touching and I could feel his warm breath on my face. Ben lay still as a statue and when I finally relented, I opened my tired eyes to see his bright green ones smiling back at me. "Mommy, you found me!” he announced. "Lets go have breakfast."

Heaven and Hell

Sometimes in life, it is necessary to give up everything that you think you know ... about yourself, about others, about everything. Some of us, are wired to learn life the hard way. We need to stand in the rain to believe it is wet, the words of our parents weren't convincing. We need to get burned, sometimes repeatedly, before we learn not to touch, no matter ( HOT DO NOT TOUCH) sign. We need to fall, repeatedly , before we accept that gravity exists. We need to sin in order to believe in hell… Continue

yearning

An emotional toothache; an ever present, ever tender, hightened sensitivity that brings a unique hurt to the roots of being, roots desperately needed to feed self esteem. A gnawing , growling, cursing hunger that lingers unfed whilst other mundane obligations are begrudgingly met. A sulking jealousy that lingers near the doorframes of success, a peripheral reminder of that which is most longed for and not yet achieved. A childish will that strains against the confines of being denied, bitterness… Continue

Fury

I stomped around the room with my hands balled into white knuckled fists and my arms held stiff at my sides. A choke sprang to my throat and I willed it back down. How tightly I held my face, my lips pursed I felt my teeth against the soft tissue of my inner cheeks; I bit down firmly and willed myself to feel the physical pain over the emotional. I held my eyelids shut against their will , my nostrils turned outwards and upwards, to help with the heavy breath that was fighting its way into a pan… Continue

The Baby Shower

"The baby" was coming and mother was enjoying the attention she got from the ladies in our church's basement. We were playing "guess Pam's favourite" and my six year old hand had trouble writing the answers as fast as they were asked.

"What is Pam's favourite flower" - daisies; What is Pam's favourite colour? - yellow; What is Pam's favourite dessert? - Banana cake...

I wrote down all twenty answers in my childish scribble. I could hardly believe this was a game, because I knew all the answers… Continue

a little rhyme without reason

The cliche of the void for the hole in my soul has come to be cliche for a reason.
My mind builds a wall , my will keeps it strong, but my heart continues at treason.
The longing for love is a malingering need, and my mind knows my heart is just teasing.
I'd have to know what I want before I get what I want, so there's no use in trying to please me.
