In My Mother’s Shoes…

I am my mother Andrea.

I wonder when Brad will get home to help me calm the kids down.

I hear Nate, Jilly, and Laurel fighting and screaming over the Xbox.

I see Brad finally pulling into the driveway.

I want calmness!!!

I am a parent.

I pretend to be calm.

I feel really frustrated!

I touch the couch and, sit down.

I understand that they are just kids, and I did

that when I was younger.

I say, “Please calm down, Who had it first the last time?”

I dream that we will have a great, peaceful day tomorrow.
