May 16: A Poem: One of Those Days



Today was just one of those days.

One of those days when you seem to
wake up angry or 
on the wrong side of the bed, 
and so did everyone else.

One of those days that start with 
naughtiness in the kitchen 
and scrambled eggs with sugar 
for an unwanted breakfast.

One of those days where there is 
more yelling then listening and
more hitting then talking and
more disobedience then peace.

One of those days where it was painful 
to make it to the day's activity that was 
supposed to be fun but instead 
ended up being stressful for all.

One of those days that it was so very nice
to have a friend in the chaos to 
help shoulder the burden of ornery children 
running crazily amuck.

One of those days where I was exhausted
by noon and wanted to do nothing 
for the rest of the day except 
sit on the couch and nap into the night.

Today was just one of those days.

Is it over yet?
