My day in haiku

Another nightmare
I awaken, drenched in sweat
Reality looms.

A huge list of calls
Pray for answering machine
to pick up the phone.

Should I go shower
or fry up a cheese omelelet
with buttery toast?

Late for appointment
Does worry burn calories?
Alas, it does not.

At the computer
Staring, transfixed by the screen
No time for WiiFit.

My son starts to wail,
"Hey Mom, when will you finish
using your laptop?"

I give in at last
For it's way past my bedtime.
No late night snacking!
