I took this picture yesterday evening because it was so cute that both of the little ones were passed out. Little did I know it would be a "calm before the storm" picture because a few hours later, a stomach bug hit Caleb. There was more puking than I care to discuss; let's just say it was a rough, rough night. After all, life isn't a destination, but a journey. I want to remember mine.

Sometimes it's hard to put life into words. The 50th time you clean up an infant from a diaper blowout. The sleepless nights of a teething baby. The constant tantrums from your toddler. The cat that pooped on the floor...AGAIN. These events invoke many feelings that are hard to express. Sometimes, fewer words are more meaningful. On my Timehop app the other day, a haiku I wrote a couple of years ago popped up: The child is teething Morning barged in too early Go to sleep critter A haiku is a 3-line simple poem that follows a rigid structure. The first line is 5 syllables. The second is 7. The last is 5. It normally does not rhyme. It's short, simple, and beautiful. I think it would be really fun if you all submit a haiku, so I can combine them all into one big "Haiku Post" later this week. It can be about anything really. Whatever is beautiful, meaningful, or important to you today...and even the most mundane things are worthy of poetry. Take those feelings and put them into a poem! Submit as many as you'd like. Please send me your submissions by Tuesday evening at midnight! So, remember: Submit your musings Tuesday night your thoughts are due I can't wait to see. |
