My Epic Poem

2:45 PM, phone call
House showing at 3:30 PM, Panic!
Still sweaty from Zumba
Bathe quickly, dress children
Scramble around tidying house
3:25 PM, off to the dog park
Can't find dog park...
Puppy panting, whining, and trying to climb on me while driving
Find park, unload car
Excited puppy, chases dog, knocks over son
CRASH!!
Son on ground, crying
Pick up son and comfort
Put son down--bloody forehead
Find drinking fountain, use own shirt to wipe up blood
Can't find sanitizing spray, do find band-aid
Stranger points out blood all over Mommy's face
Does he need stitches?
Attempt to take picture with phone; son still crying
Get picture after several tries and send to Daddy


Decide he does need stitches
4:15 PM, attempt to leave park--now son and daughter BOTH crying
Worst. Outing. Ever.
Load up car
Bug in back seat causes much whining and complaining
Drop puppy off at home
Drive to Urgent Care, frightened son
6:00 PM, two stitches, very brave little boy
Dinner at IHOP
Cinna-stack pancakes for Mommy, YUM!
"Mommy why is there chocolate on your ear?"
Funny how dried blood looks a lot like chocolate
