Nine AM
Children are screaming
I am desparate to escape
I gather up my secrets and go to my room
The decaf ice tea splashes
The bottle of Valium falls from my grasp
Rolls down the stairs
Children screaming in the house
All is well.

Enjoy your kids now!!. little kids, little problems, big kids…..
I became a widow, well my DD doesn´t remember, just glances. Mornings???, besides I get up 3-4 times a night, sometimes sleeping to watch them, I got up early, fireplace must be started!!!!. I studied at nights (home, with magazines, the librarians, borrow me, just for the night, forbidden to take out), Yet a satisfaction smile comes to my face now… “todo tiempo pasado fue mejor”, all past times were better, Now I must sleep with a valium, just my crafts, and Celeste, my new yorkie, after a mourning for my Cristina, who was my company for 10 y.
God Bless Your Family
