Four. (On a scale from one to ten, today my mood is a.......)

Ive noticed my mood’s correlated
To those that I have created
Each day’s communication
With the next generation
Determines if I’m low or elated.

Of these chains I would like get rid
They make me a slave to my kid
It’s hurtful and hectic
But I think it’s genetic
And find me wherever I’m hid.

Finished Christmas shopping and wrapping, made menu for Christmas Eve.

But I also have a beautiful new grandson, James Richard Carey, born 30 days early.  I love him.

This week holds particular joy
Soars above the hoi polloi
It was a surprise
In all of our eyes
A beautiful new baby boy
