one more day

my life is not my own
especially not this week

too many poopy diapers
and carrying around
20 or 30 pounds

the lion cub doesn't like
shopping any more
than the papa lion

i'm exhausted and
this is supposed to be
when i relax and unwind

instead i may just collapse

but my kids are adorable
and my husband comes home
tomorrow - thank God

renew my strength, O Lord
