So I just realized I could use my blog to work on poetry...tah dah. Here's a couple of ideas of late.

Because my family is shrinking...at least in this house...

"I don't want to sit in church alone"

We used to take the entire pew...and now we're down to just a few
Bodies in a little row...where did all my children go?
Lindsay's gone and Katie too...off to school as children do...
Heidi and Kristi gone so long....with their own families...where they belong

Soon Nikki will grow up and head out, that just makes me want to shout
"I Don't want to sit in church alone...saying loudly "my children are grown"
So David stay and sit right here, whisper randomly in my ear, make it so I cannot hear
The sermon or the sacrament, but you'll be squirming in your seat, telling me you need to eat,
asking when we can go home,

And yes I know, I'll sit by Kim...the two of us, alone again
We started there - perhaps it's just, and not really worth all the fuss
But so much happened since that start, when we began this work of heart,
filling up the bench was fun, as we added one by one
each child to our menagerie, from 5 sweet girls to baby D
It goes so fast...so can it be, that soon it will be Kim and me,
sitting there in church alone because our children all are grown?

Here we go. . .

Well, I guess I'm jumping on the blog wagon. So here goes . . .

Here's my mommy ego booster for the week. David was making a poster for pack meeting and was having trouble getting the letters like he wanted them. He came to me and asked for another poster board so he could start over. I went in to help him and just took the marker and fixed his letter so he was happy. He looked up at me, smiled and said,"Moms should be super heros." Awwww! That made my week! What a sweet boy.
