Winter vacation
A blessing and malediction
For the stay at home mom

I get to sleep in
But is it really worth
Ten days of nagging
And begging?
Nay!

It's movie day,  my choice
The circus has laid claim
To any open space on
My bedroom floor
Snack man has given the ok
To devour all tasty treats
within range of scrawny, wirey,
or otherwise chubby arms

The Transformers theme still
Rocks & my singing efforts
Have promoted me from
party pooper to ring master
Belly flopping on the bed
Earned brownie points
As well- especially since
Snack man's bowl of chips
Landed all over his face
On impact

He's such a sport!

Somewhere between the hush
And mid movie,  nestled in the
Circle of snack man's crumby arms,
I reflect on just how good it is
To be part of this imperfectly
Good family...
Monsters on my legs,
Pinning one arm asleep,
Blocking part of my view-
(The little migrators)
All of us, snug
as bugs,
in a rug....
