Trying to Count My Blessings

Work sucks. Grateful I have a job.
Kids' behavior sucks. Grateful I have them.
Can't do anything right at choir. Grateful they haven't kicked my goram ass out.
Doctor's office doesn't give a rat's ass. Grateful my haranguing, er, persistent follow up worked.
CAT scan on head tomorrow. Grateful John is willing to stay with the kids.
Totally overwhelmed with life. Grateful... well, grateful I'm alive, I guess.

Laundry

Folding laundry
is
bemusing.

As I hold up
a
tiny onesie
or a toddler's
overalls,

It seems
impossible
that she was
ever
so small
or that he
should ever be so
big.
