puppy poo happens
the weekend
passes
like gas let out a hot air balloon
i am kept afloat
and busy
taking dog owen out to do his business
he is currently employed in the elimination business
the weekend
bookends
a period
at the end of Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
along comes Saturday
and i release
jay to roam
free
my very wonderful husband
Bea my daughter and i tackle
homework
in which i do the math
backwards
and then reconfigure
and do it the right way round
years before i knew i had
some mis-wirering in this department
Sunday comes
and i go to the grocery store
and am caught in the wave of shoppers
with the dollar event,
ratatouille won't happen
cause i just gave birth
to a new boy dog
the labor pains where nothing
compared to the first
and happily i have yet to have trouble with post partum
our friends come,
caught up in their own Sunday land
of comfort and comforters and staying in bed
and then realize to our house will happen
out of the car piles the baby, a real live beauty
named Oscar with a capital o
a little Nordic Viking
blonde and blue eyed and solid solid
frolicking happens,
talk and chatting
bowls of soup
and round bagels
cheese and veg
napping and carrying the babies
and then the height light drama
at the end of the show
after long sentences and comas
and semi colons
and dishes that almost wash themselves
after the frolics of baby and pup
an unintended intermingling
well the carpet is patterned and brown,
easily not noticed
little blonde boy with puppy poo in this hair
each grab a task
the mammas wash Oscar with a capital ohhh
the man washes the carpet with a capital oh No!
in the basement i wash the change pad free of pup poo
and Bea the seven year old escapes to the refuge of
her room and her radio and 1930's jazz music
with her final declaration
"Creepy!"
it was a lovely weekend
bookended and bright
warm and cold
snow and twigs
tail wags and baby smiles
and friends
and tea
and family...
life can be very good
even when puppy poo happens.

yabby dappy doo da zip dilly i eh
i have a pair of clean underpants on my head
they seem to contain a magical ingredient that makes me type really fast
words are just flying hitting the screen at at least 40mph,
the same speed a greyhound can run
my daughter placed them on my head giggling
doing magic spells and telling me essencial information for life
which i didn't quite hear
i am thinking swimmingly
thoughts
i thank mrs haidida my grade 7 typing teacher for this gift of swift fingers
and am sorry i teased her about joining the hare krishnas
i thank the academy for giving me this grand award
wearing a pair of underpants on your head is a good remedy for what ever ailes you
and although i have not yet heard or read about it in any advice column i would strongly advise it
if i am feeling particularly blue (now this is a secret so do not tell you know) i ask my husband to wear a sweet little hair clip in his hair...this never fails to make me laugh, even writing this i am cracking up...you have to be there
it is something like dressing up a dog and the dog still trying as hard as it might to keep it's dignity
if this aint love i don't know what is...
but please don't tell.

oh mama
the land of sleep is a place i am finding a little bit difficult to get to these days, the trip is bumpy a little jet lagged upon waking and the dreams are quite intense...
