Running the Uptown Play

Kids at sleep overs
We made our trek to Uptown
To fill our free time

The Role

The alarm shoves me
Into the working mom’ part
Work, kids, paltry sleep

Lyndale and 34th

Kids are at lessons
Two corners – wine or coffee?
Please don’t judge, wine wins

Empty House

Two kids off at school
The hushed house rests in stillness
While cats gaze outside

Parental Code Words

“Plan for light walking”
Which was code for 16 miles
In the DC heat

Baby Shower

With a few outfits
Mom-to-be said “I’m all set”
It was just so cute

Across the River

Kids run in circles
With six pets walking around
While we drink some wine

Movie Redo

Kids picked Pitch Perfect
Then The Breakfast Club eked out
Someday they’ll get it

Alex’s Friend, Abby P.

Three kids, two are mine
The third one seems more like me
Than my own offspring

Vacation Votes

DC or Disney?
The kids declared Washington
Left Adam appalled
