Linking up with Kate Says Stuff for “Thankful Thursday”, this week in Haiku.
(A Japanese poem with varied forms, I’ve gone with the simple “five-seven-five” syllable pattern.)
A day to myself
No children to think about
Now what should I do?
Maybe a massage
Or I could go for a spa
Hmm… Maybe do both!
I’ve got a good book
Perhaps I’ll grab a coffee
Without kids screaming.
Ah, Complete silence.
No “Mummy, Mummy, Poo, Pee…”
Just me and my thoughts.
It will be peaceful
But at the end of the day
I’ll gladly go home
I’ll walk into noise
Mess, tantrums, kisses and hugs
Thankful for my boys!

Love this!! You are the haiku master!
Well done you! What a great haiku. And a day to yourself. Oh my what would one do…
Well done and lucky you! Have a great day.
Ooh sounds lovely. At this stage in life I’m happy for a few solitary hours – you are lucky 😀
I love this. I work full time but am almost at the end of 2 weeks holidays with my three niblets (my eldest 2 have school holidays) and I whilst I have loved it, I am starting to feel like a need a day to me. Just one day. Luckily for me hubby is cooking tonight and I am relaxing with a glass of wine.
I am loving the massage/spa haiku…I could so use that right now! Loved your post!
