A tone poem in the key of whine
Hither yon, hither yon.
Coming going, rushing rushing.
Overcommitted. Rundown and sniffly.
Both grownups working too hard/much
Inpatient with boisterous toddler.
Short end of stick and burnt ends of candle.
3 short hours together spent pushing and prodding to either school or dinner, bath or bed.
Short-tempered when I should be warm.
Less a mom than a guardian it seems sometimes.
Working families.
So many people, so little time doing the things most important.
Is it just the dark? The weather? The holidays?
Really?
Some time soon. Reevaluate, reconfigure, renew.
