#27

Moments of peace today,
Moments of crazy.
Like when I say
‘If either of you gets out of your bed again,
I’m going to lose the plot’.
I’m too tired and I need a break,
and also to work out how to do this thing called life,
With three little ones,
a husband, a cat,
his music, my writing
and bills to pay.
