Failed Plans

failed plans

i overslept
dragged myself from the cocoon
made of cotton and polyester
stuffed with feathers
and scented with impending doom
to find
the happy occasion
i’d frozen in place
just in case
melting
and leaking
into the drain

i regret
having to inform myself
that today would not be
my day
in any shape or form
despite my best efforts
of making it so

and my clock
reads a time
barely past noon

I remember mornings like this, but they are long past since having my kids, oh to have a lie in x

My kids, thankfully, are very efficient at feeding and dressing themselves (they're 10 and 14). At the same time, sometimes thins just overwhelm us and it becomes almost impossible to do the things we planned to do.

very true, I get like that for sure. my kids are 8, 5 and 11 months getting overwhelmed seems to happen more often. trying to look after myself better which is hard to do when you are a mother.
