Four AM Christmas Day, and all through the house
Are so many WIPs I feel like a louse.
Though most of my gift list was truly unspoken
The ones incomplete feel like promises broken.
One goal, handknit socks for each of my loved ones;
I finished two pair for four daughters* and two for four sons*.
I started a scarf and a pair of warm mitts.
One, I can finish, but the other's the pits.
Presents are wrapped-- except one that's back-ordered
And due in on Thursday--hope I can afford it.
The sheet cake is baked, iced, and well covered,
Green beans are casseroled, with mushroom soup smothered.
I sewed one more stocking for a significant other
Too late, remembered Little Man's expected new brother.
I have too many ideas and not enough time
But I always remember just how blessed that I'm!
(*I'm taking LOTS of poetic license here--!)
Merry Christmas, and God bless you one and all!

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI just got caught up with you on your blog. Your life sounds similar to mine, always busy. I do mostly the same things each week. But I am thinking of doing my own blog, like yu said, it can be like a diary to the person who writes it. Who knows if I will accomplish it though as I have been thinking about it for a year now! I guess that I am all thought and no action on a lot of things.
