I do not want to rise to my feet. But there’s no snooze button on a child. Rise. Shine. Sleep. Repeat. *This place is a ******* mess.* I tidy up while she watches Dora explore; I do not like being on my feet. I brew four cups of Maxwell House and check the mirror to make sure I look alive. Rise. Shine? Sleep. Repeat. Into the car and off to the sitter’s. She and I dance to pop songs on the radio. Upon the car’s pedals, I tap my feet. I drop her off and drive to work where I drop off hot plates to hungry guests. Rise. Shine. Sleep. Repeat. I pick her up, go home, and cook dinner; then bath time, bed time, homework. Will I ever feel stable on my feet? Rise. Shine. Sleep. Repeat.
