Hello, long weekend

Hello, long weekend.
Where have you been, exactly?
It’s been a while.

JG’s back at school,
Although not with students yet,
But the week was long.

Tomorrow, JG’s
Volleyball team is playing
In a tournament

At his old high school,
And he’ll coach in the same gym
Where he played. So strange.

We have a long ride.
The bus leaves at 5:15!
In the morning! Gah.

Wake-up call’s at 4,
But as sleepy as I’ll be,
I’ll be a great fan.

I made some cookies
For the girls, but they’re so flat.
Sigh. Still tasty, though.

I hope they play well,
The season starts out nicely,
And JG is pleased.

But then, Labor Day!
It’s the last day off I’ll take
Before Thanksgiving.

Maybe I’ll sleep in
And catch up on some reading.
Yes, that sounds lovely.

Very creative, not to mention impressive.

Also: I am flat, and reportedly, can be tasty myself. Not tasty in a gross way. Just, you know…like personality wise.

Bring on the sleeping in and the extra naps!

Oh no, flat cookies! I bet they still tasted delicious though.

I love your haiku, but am sad that JG already started school. We are back on Tuesday and the darling kidlets come back on Thursday.

I love the haiku!
It was very nicely done.
Very impressive.
