I am living several lives
all at the same time
At times I am a
blogger, writing about the
minutiae of life
Other times I am
a nursing student, tending
to the sick, learning
On rare occasions
I’m a seamstress, sewing a
dress for my daughter
But always I’m a
mother, on top of all the
other hats I wear
I feel fragmented
at times – pieces of me are
scattered everywhere
But my reasons for
all I do can be found in
two little faces
Occasionally my different lives come crashing together due to poor scheduling. Like this past week, where the overload of midterm paperwork forced me to cut back on blogging for a time. And Cordy has been, well, let’s just say not herself. I’ve got an enormous backlog of posts to read in Bloglines. And those I have read I haven’t had time to comment on.
So if you happen to be missing me at your blog, know that I’m missing you, too. And know that midterms are now finished, and I’ll start working on my backlog of reading this weekend. I’m far too neurotic to hit that “Mark all read” button – can’t chance missing something important. Or you can let me know if anything important has happened to you in this past week.
To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.
REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! We will delete any links without haiku!
