Laundry basket

Socks multiply when
mated yet produce offspring
that never quite match.

Children’s show

J’s Sleeping Beauty.
Small kids grab at her princess
gown with sticky hands.

Two ships

My husband says he
catches up on my life in
my blogs. We should talk.

Never enough time

I cook mornings so
I can eat evenings. I call
it planning ahead.

Parent chauffeur

Few things are as hard
as staying awake, waiting
for the phone to ring.

No pumpkin pie

Instead, a pumpkin
cheesecake. Traditions are good.
Cheesecake is better.

Get a life

Front-load energy
saving washer. Fun to watch
clothes spinning around.

Couch potatoes

Too tired to head to
our beds, my daughter and I
tag team sofa sleep.

Green home

Chuck tests our house for
energy efficiency.
We’re tight as a drum.

Unsolved

Hate mail came today.
I ponder who’d wish me ill
via envelope.
