The List
I made my list of things to do,
So much to be done before the day is through!
I wrote: Kitchen floor has got to be mopped,
And weeds in the garden have got to be chopped!
Sit down and sew for an hour or two,
Write a few letters, long overdue!
Finish the laundry from yesterday,
Wash and dry dishes, put them away.
Of course, there is breakfast, then dinner to make;
Bake some cookies… or maybe a cake?
But in all the things I had to get done,
There were a few things I didn’t count on.
There was Baby to rock in the rocking chair,
Kiss his sweet cheeks, feel his soft hair.
Help little brother clean up his mess,
Speak a kind word, give a caress.
A problem to solve between toddlers at play,
They come up so often every day.
Open the door for the children to go out,
Stand there and watch them run and shout.
At the end of the day, I looked at my list,
So many duties that I had missed!
Half of the laundry still hung on the line,
The weeds in the garden are still doing fine!
The sewing machine has been idle all day,
At least the dishes are out of the way.
Even though the day went by so fast,
Some things I’ve done will always last.
The Bible story I took time to tell,
The prayer that we shared when a little one fell.
The gentle smile and kind word that I spoke;
When my favorite dish was dropped and broke.
Sometimes it takes far more than the rod
To point little precious souls to God.
My list will be crumpled and thrown away;
I’ve had little children to love today!
So, now this morning I make a new list:
Toys to play with, cheeks to be kissed.
Make this day for the children fun,
And anything extra I manage to get done.
–Esther Headings (Family Life)
I LOVE this poem! It sounds soooo much like my day!
Clinic Day
Today’s trip to the clinic went well. They were super busy. I’m sure it was because a lot of people, like me, canceled last week because of weather. See, all the off treatments kids are seen on Wednesdays. That’s “our” day. Of course, they see kids that need chemo that day, too. But they want off treatment kids to go only on Wednesdays. Not a bad deal, because that way, you see people that are “where you are”. So Calen did well, he passed his exam, with all body parts being present and accounted for. Which is good, since in the past he has had certain parts that have gone into hiding. 🙂 He did well with the blood draw, even though his beloved Bennita wasn’t there, and he had someone else. Bennita is soooo good! She just slides the needle in, real easy like, and gets it right the first time! If only we all had “Bennita’s” when we had to have blood drawn! So, we had a good trip, we didn’t stop anywhere else, so we made it back to town in time to have lunch with D. Then we went to pick up Mel’s senior pics. But they weren’t in yet. sigh I called Mel, who was babysitting, from the store to ask her if we needed anything. Of course, she said “chocolate”. So I brought some home. I told D “the babysitter” said we needed some, so of course, I had to bring some home. 🙂 “The BabySitter” was pleased, and happy to know that all it takes is for the babysitter to say we need it! lol
