fourteen class hours
 in three days. cold winter walk
 to house of illness.
 
 

no breaks this weekend
 as oldest tells project woes
 (procrastination)
 
 middle craves pancakes
 but class again tomorrow
 allows no bake time
 
 (he’ll be up all night
 holding a pail for baby
 to give me this chance)
 
 as it’s always been–
 i work, work, work… he supports
 (and we’re all winners)
