time

escapes me

tonight - it will be time to cuddle with my Adolfo Fidel as soon as we get home

I will take time to be with him in his room full of toys

and give him time to show me how all of them work

then i must sneak some time to make dinner for my husband

and somehow squeeze in the time to feed Adolfo Fidel at the same time

when it will suddenly be time to give Adolfo Fidel a bath

a time when he shows off for mommy

spitting out the bath tub letters across the water like flying fish

this is the time i can relaxe

i let him take his time in the water

and let the tub fill slowly

so after a time

i can drain and refill it one more time

then it's time to brush our teeth

Adolfo Fidel hates this time

but we do it, dutifully, and quickly

because now it's time to go to sleep



and i haven't had time to clean



but i have a wonderful husband who will give me some time

to breathe
