My life in Haiku--through mine and my daughters' eyes

(inspired by recent Real Simple)

Izzy says, "Damn it."
I try hard not to giggle
Pleased it wasn't "shit."

We can wipe ourselves!
Clogging toilets is so fun!
Please use the whole roll.

Abby's precious gift:
A slimy, hand-picked booger.
So thoughtful, honey.

Dora panties stuck
"Mommy, I have a wedgie,"
Loudly in Target
______________________

Snuggle time on laps
Suddenly a bad smell wafts
"Excuse me," says Izzy.
______________________

Stuck inside, I cry.
Nasty weather breeds boredom
Kids watch hours of tv
______________________

I hear loud crying
Blood-curdling screams ensue
Can't I just poop, please?
______________________

Time for healthy snacks
More high-fructose corn syrup?
It's in everything.
______________________

False advertising
Box reads "nutritious fruit snacks inside."
sugar high contradicts
______________________

En route to Starbucks
I need my fix to survive
Coffee save me now!
______________________

Bath time for our kids
Equals bad monsoon season
Watch out for splash zone
_______________________

I want pink pants, too!
Izzy has some but not me.
That's not fair, Mommy!
_______________________

Laundry never ends.
Maybe I should sleep in here?
Yay! Tide doesn't snore!
