<p>Oops! Eastern time zone
may ruin Idol surprise
Did you know they stayed?</p>
<p>Never watched Idol,
but we have a weakness for
Dancing with the Stars.</p>
<p>geek_son likes it too –
favorite teacher of all time
taught some ballroom dance.</p>
<p>Junior son surprised me
“I could write college essays
about origami.”</p>
<p>Mathmom likes to boast
She never watches TV
Season 7 - M<em>A</em>S*H?</p>
<p>No PTA here,
well-intentioned, annoying
Booster club leader.</p>
<p>Thinks she invented
volunteering – lots of us
been there from day one.</p>
<p>Wants a collective
graduation party – sure,
she’ll collect, alright!</p>
<p>Heart’s in the right place,
or at least I think it is,
but her manners grate.</p>
<p>Oh mathmom, that rocks!
Origami-writing son,
sounds like lots of fun!</p>
<p>Writing an essay
must just be a painful act
for a teenage guy. 
</p>
<p>But your son offered
a college essay subject –
now, that’s the spirit!</p>
<p>Golly, baseballmom,
so many awesome haikus –
you were on a roll!</p>
<p>And now you all sleep
My favorite time of day
I no longer care</p>
<p>Tried so hard for years
Night Owl disposition true
Such peaceful quiet</p>
<p>Cannot think morning
Lists look me back in the face
After 10 hello</p>
<p>The world does not agree
Makes it difficult for me
Were are you my friends?</p>
<p>Today S changed
Shows again his sweeter self
What does he want now???</p>
<p>Just kidding about that
It is not his objective
He is just happy </p>
<p>New guitar to buy
Wheeling and dealing with friends
Born entrepreneur</p>
<p>So clever and smart
Head out of the daily grind
makes a happy meal</p>
<p>How many guitars
Crazy young man playing songs
A natural high</p>
<p>Heard from Kid last night
Boy who struggles through math
C on a test good for him</p>
<p>A long way to go
An uphill battle daily
When can I exhale?</p>
<p>Such haiku riches!
Not enough coffee to write,
But I can admire.</p>
<p>Haikus rock CC . . .

<p>Teenage boys grooming
Have you ever heard of soap?
Or deodorant?</p>
<p>Who has time for soap
When you have to play x-box!
Priorities, Mom!</p>
<p>I know that some day
It will be his wife’s problem
A girl can change that!</p>
<p>A dozen of origami roses were made through several nights
By my boy
For his valentine.</p>
<p>S.A.T. tutor
Private high school tuition
Spent lots of money</p>
<p>Now time for college
Where will the money come from?
Bad economy</p>
<p>But all is okay
I can write my fun haikus
It makes me happy.</p>
<p>Stomach flu
Spread around
At work.</p>
<p>Ducked in the cube
By myself
I write haiku.</p>
<p>coolweather how sweet
hope Valentine is grateful
creative, classy</p>
<p>DS’ daily bath
combines two body washes
sisters say he stinks</p>
<p>rt who needs help,
hang on – eventually
they learn to clean up</p>
<p>(although some may take
a bit longer than others –
eeeew, lords of the flies!)</p>
<p>@oregon101:</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a night owl too!
But school starts oh, so early
every darned morning.</p>
<p>Staying up till three
isn’t a great strategy
for real world coping. :(</p>
<p>Arizona kids
getting some bad news about
AIMS test scholarships.</p>
<p>National Merit,
Regent’s, Provost’s, Presidents,
all okay for now.</p>
<p>To CC students
with Arizona safeties:
Get those apps in now.</p>
<p>Historymom
About daily bath
Still better than mine.</p>
<p>My boy
Does it
Probably twice a week.</p>
