Dirty Little Secret

Oh my Wordvixen
you have like seven great blogs
how do you do it?

And you make cool garb
when not reading, writing or
blogging everywhere

You make me laugh so
with your dry humor and wit
wise beyond your years

We are paid to post
sometimes the same exact thing
but yours are better

You are prolific
interesting and so fun
you should visit her.

(And on another note, thanks so much to the Binky Bitch for her wonderful Haiku Fridays, I never would have tried haiku without her.)

I am so tired
How long does tryptophan work?
I was up too late

Lovebug had a dream
He was so unhappy that
he could not calm down

Poor little baby
He seems very happy now
I am relieved

Ironflower sits
enchanted by Little Bill
no bad dreams for her

Daddy is sleeping
how long should we let him rest?
He hates the morning

Welcome to Haiku Friday, go here for more haiku.

At the library
So much fun is to be had
Can we get this book?

Maisy, Blue, Clifford
Can come home with us today
Let’s check them all out

This library is
wonderful for my sweet kids
playhouse and many toys

So much more fun than
the library in our town
which is very small

No one else is here
the place is yours to explore
mommy can relax

Lunch time already
we had better get going
what a nice morning

(Thank you so much to Mary from my book club for mentioning this great library. Also thank you to Lisa from my book club for reading this blog and being a fan; you are forever permitted to skip comments here as long as you show up at book club meetings with them (and sweatpants). Actually, I’d like to thank my whole book club for being fellow bookworms and for reassuring me that Bergen County IS a tough place to make friends.)

(I feel like I should be writing PPS, but that feels so junior high. Anyway, to anyone who’s ever been reluctant to join a book club: Don’t be. They’re great.)

Check out the Binky Bitch for more inspiring haiku.

The grocery store is
not my favorite place to be
when Lovebug is mad

He screams and he kicks
some odd people stop and stare
tantrums new to them

I can’t carry him
and push the cart in the aisles
to pick up our things

He wants to be up
now he wants to be way down
maybe a fun snack?

Must keep shopping now
ignore the temper tantrum
just get finished

quit staring at me
he is not hurt or broken
he just wants his way

where are the bagels
why did they move the cream cheese
did I get apples?

give praise to my girl
get kicked by the Lovebug
where is the darn list

Oh fudge it, I quit
let’s just get out of here now
oh fab, it’s raining

how much did I spend
I didn’t even buy wine
is it nap time yet

I cleaned the fridge
put everything a way
now they nap, I read

Ironflower sick
She has a fever today
and a big headache

Lovebug plays alone
He will be sick tomorrow
Mommy just knows it

Will it get Daddy?
Will we all have a fever?
This busy weekend

Orange juice is cold
It stains my shirt and my jeans
I know you are mad

Your screaming is loud
But your smile is beguiling
Please smile my baby
