Sunday Night

This slice is part of the March Slice of Life Challenge on  Two Writing Teachers! #sol26. I’m slicing every day in March. Thanks for stopping by!

The neighbor asked me how my dog was
And I saw lightning as I said,
”He’s better but just on so much medicine that he hates.”
He said he was glad that Finn is back, and I agreed
“It was so scary.”
“Did you see that lightning?” I asked
And he pointed to just where I saw the bolt
”No, but I’m not surprised.”
We both looked at the darkening sky
I cajoled Finn back inside
Wondering when the real storm would start
Wondering how to do all the Sunday things
When what I want to do is crawl into the corner of the couch
A book or a movie or just sleep would be nice
I’m somehow exhausted before the week begins

  1. Sundays! I spent many years feeling uncomfortable on Sunday evenings, because there was always more I needed to get done. I wish we had three day weekends. Would that help – one day for rest, two days for all the stuff! I often don’t sub on Mondays, mainly because of 35 years of disliking Sundays!

  2. You described exactly how i’m feeling on this SUnday evening, five school days before Spring break begins for me. It’s that last line: I’m somehow exhausted before the week begins…Onward. We got this! (I think!)
