Elegy to the WTM forum

[newlifemom]

Dear WTMers

How do I love thee[thou, ah heck you]

Your posts give me joy.

I revel in your hilarity and insanity

while gleaning wisdom from posts of illnesses, canning, and grammar.

 

This past summer you have been a constant joy and comfort,

but alas, it can no longer be this way.

Selah

 

School starts today and I must leave you for long periods each day.

I will miss you as I educate my own,

but take solace in the fact that your assistance this past summer

is what got me to this place of schooling.

 

So good-bye mornings with the WTM forum.

Good-bye troll hunts and the threads about them.

Good-bye Dr. Who threads and pics of various men/cats/others

in kilts.

Good-bye apostrophe's and the kittenany that ensue's.

 

While this is good-bye for the mornings,

I hope to join you in the afternoon and evenings as time allows.

 

[sniff, sniff]

 

FTR, I cannot write poems at all and know that Tennyson is probably convulsing in his grave right now. :tongue_smilie:

[Rhonda in TX]

Too cute! (I just wish I had your willpower and could stay away during the day.)

[jenL]

Hope you had a GREAT first day!!!!

[QueenCat]

Thanks for the giving me a smile this morning. Enjoy your day.

Roses are red

Hey, I did everything I planned to today. I also 'blessed' the kitchen/dining room. Granted, I had the help of a 16 dn, 12 dd, 9ds, and 8 dd, but I worked too. DD 5 started K today and did so much and kept asking what was next to do. I ran out of things. All in all, not a bad day. :D

 

Off to the dentist with 4 kids getting cleanings. Yikes!

[coffeefreak]

Can we say the last line as a lament??

 

YES! Always and Often!

On a bright information highway, library paste in my hair

Warm smell of curricula, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw by the monitor's light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There it stood on the Google page;

I heard the kids yell,

And I was thinking to myself,

’this could be heaven or this could be hell’

Then I clicked on the link, and it showed me the way

There were posts down the threads,

I thought I heard them say...

[1bassoon]

Ah!!! Y'all are CRACKING me up!!!!

 

(and I'm typing with a bum hand, so it's worth the pain!!!!!)

:lol:

Ah, but will you hear that song again and think of this? ;)

[*~Tina~*]

Love them all! :lol::lol:

 

I want to play (and my apologies in advance to Sara Evans :D)

 

 

Woke up late today

But we gotta do school anyway

So I dragged myself up out of bed

Had teA, grabbed the planner, put a smile on my face

 

Could this day get any longer?

 

Every morning such a fight,

Because the darling kids stay up all night

So I pull the covers off their heads

Offer simple yet fair warning...

Better do what I said

 

Could this day get any longer?

 

Cause I'm done hoping

They will think it's fun,

I'm done with how it feels cooking three meals

Listening to ungrateful whines

 

And ooohhh, I'm done thinking

Perfect lives exist

I know my plans will sometimes go astray,

But I'm telling myself, send them out to play

Cause right now I've got bills to pay

 

Could this day get any longer?

 

Sometimes I stay up all night

As I search the forum for pure delight

And I often laugh until I cry

Not costing me a penny, nickel, dime or small cat

It's here for me at any hour

 

Cause I'm done hoping

My Well-Trained Mind is getting stronger :D
