Happy St. Patty's Day!

Once again, my blog has been put on the back burner. What's new?

So, in honor of the Saint we call Patrick, here's a lit'l update for ya, me laddies & lassies -- limerick style:


There once was a laddie named James,

Who thought teething was really quite lame,

His teeth grind away,

To his parents dismay,

But he's chubby and cute just the same!



His daredevil stunts are a fright,

Climbing stairs and tumbling by night,

He loves to be chased,

While he laughs and makes haste,

Then he squeals while Mom squeezes him tight!



His mother, who some know as "Ash,"

Sleeps, oh, not a wink, the poor lass!

She feels like a cow,

For James' milks her, and HOW!

You'd think this would earn her some cash.



But instead she teaches music for pay,

11 students who visit by day,

Very busy stays she,

While James cries by her knee,

Oh, I wish there were some other way!



And the house with a view still awaits,

While we daydream of using our plates,

But the paint must be dry,

Before moving, "Oh my!"

Tomorrow will be the big day!



Meanwhile Jordan is pining for Fall,

When no school work he'll see, none at all!

But then he'll start work,

And his boss -- what a jerk!

No he's not -- he's my brother -- ha ha!



After finals, no break for Big J,

For the Bar just will not stay away,

So study he must,

Until he'll nearly bust,

Then he'll wonder "Did I do okay?"



Although 2009 will be tough,

And the stress might make me cry "Enough!"

I have a baby who's sweet,

A new home to rest my feet,

Not to mention a husband that's buff!



Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  2. You cute poet. I can't wait until you get into your own little house with a view! Do you need help moving? (Or watching James while you move?)

  3. That was GREAT! When are you going to post pictures of your house? I am so happy for you guys. I wish we were there to help you move. It's not that fun to move with a baby. :)

  8. Wow. Perhaps you should give up music and write poetry. In fact, I'd pay you to write my family Cmas card in limmerick form!
