Neverending

Another happy day in the life...

Neverending

 

I feel lousy

I just want to crawl into my bed and forget so many things

But I can’t

I am:

Mother

Provider

Caretaker

The family worrier

If I have a life, I’m not living it for myself

So I add a little something to my juice

I just can’t take the drama of:

Failed relationship

School project due tomorrow

Ugly bills arriving in pretty colored envelops with windows

“I see you!”

I can’t cry-mustn’t upset my precious

Closed door can’t drown out quiet sobbing

Ah…

It’s bed time for princess; I am thrilled

Kiss kiss on eyelids

“I love you mommy.”

Is that a tinge of guilt-does the orange juice mask anything?

I slink onto my bed and prepare for another sleepless night

Tomorrow is only a day away…

Oh how I know

This says it all. I know the feeling. This format is great - it even looks like it is going through the wringer! Every Mom can go ahh huh...... to this. Tomorrow is only a day away....and we still hope it is better than today....
