I am sliding into Poetry Friday at the latest possible time I can imagine but I have my reasons. I thought of writing last night BUT I was presenting my last professional development session of the school year on Zoom to the Reading Specialists Council of Suffolk and writing my combined Spiritual Journey Thursday and Two Writing Teachers March Writring Challenge post, all of this while my little grandgirls were enjoying their five- day-stay-over with at Grandpa and Grandma's house.
You might think that I had time to write today BUT I was too busy trying to keep up with the pace of the two little girls and other life interruptions. So here I am at the latest possible time before the clock strikes midnight.
I planned to share a book review of Matt Forrest Esenwine's fabulous new book, "Everybody Counts", but did not have time today. Watch for the review to come out soon.
The little grandgirls had a stay-at-home-in-jammies day BUT still wanted to play right up to bedtime. The energy of children seems to be like the Energizer Bunnies' pace while Grandma was exhausted.
Now to finally have time to add this post to the Poetry Friday Roundup hosted by the fabulous author/poet Tanita S. Davis at {fiction, instead of lies}.
Haha. Love this post, Carol. Life sounds the best kind of busy.
ReplyDeleteKat, I was so tired after the almost week with the girls that it took me this long to respond to the PF group about this blog post. I appreciate your response. Busy is good when it involves the little loveys.
DeleteAll good! I'm so glad you had time with your little lovelies. Nothing can replace that. You are a good, good, good, grandma! And, hooray for presenting via zoom. Suffolk County is the better for it. Thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. It is always great to receive your take on what I do.
DeleteLittle grandgirls are a wonderful reason to push back a PF post until the last minute. ❤️
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Karen. Have a wonderful Sunday.
DeleteSounds like a fun-packed week! So glad you got to talk about poetry with reading specialists.
ReplyDeleteMarcie, I did shareall the freebies on your blog for the reading specialists and classroom teachers. I certainly hope they make use of your site.
DeleteEnjoy your time with the grandkids! Then...NAP!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Lee. I did enjoy grandma-sitting but fell asleep for 4 hours in the afternoon the day after the girls left.
DeleteI feel you! When I have my grands, that's about all I can do. Writing takes a backseat, way back. I love your poem with the repetition of Little Loveys. One wonderful result of spending time with grandchildren is poetry.
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren do produce wonderful snippets to write about, Margaret. Enjoy yours.
DeleteNot a minute to spare for a breath, but it sounds like so much fun! I'm impressed you got anything at all done!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I am shocked by what I can achieve, Tanita. I guess it takes a big dose of perseverance.
DeleteNo better excuse to stop and BE present than time with Little Loveys <3
ReplyDeleteAfter almost a week with the little loveys, I am still tired but the rewards minimize the fatigue.
DeleteYou make a "Just Be Day" sound so appealing, Carol. What a sweet practice to share with your little loveys.
ReplyDeletea "Just BE Day" in jammies is what I long for so Sierra had a good idea for us, Laura.
