The Prompt: Crash

June 23, 2017 By Sara | mumturnedmom 1 Comment

The clamor from the crash
reverberates around,
as fractures appear
in the fabric of self,
and concussion from the impact
cracks with shocking
force, to rip away
all sense of place.
The shattering of reality
brings chaos
crashing down
as time splinters,
while the collision brings together,
even as the explosion
rips apart, all the
pieces left of us.

I love this, really makes you think about the processes we go through when terrible things happen. Hope the weather there is better than Scotland where I’m sitting in a jumper with the heating on (flaming June my eye).

4 days ago by mumturnedmom S C A R So, this one will sport an impressive scar under his chin after a fall yesterday He missed his footing and fell into steps at a water park where we were spending the day The first aiders were great, although clearly a little surprised by the large hole in his chin and I held it together remarkably well until his dad arrived, and then had to sit down when the haze that tells me I'm about to pass out descended The lovely Urgent Care doctors agreed to glue rather than stitch when he freaked out at the…
2 days ago by mumturnedmom T E A M As my younger son can't swim until his chin is healed, today was a digging day at the beach. It was so lovely to watch him and my daughter working together
6 days ago by mumturnedmom T H E • T H R E E The house seems very quiet now that all our visitors have gone home. Just the five of us again. So, we took a day trip to Storyland yesterday, and had a fabulous, fun, family day. From the wee girls first (and possibly last ) go on the log flume ride, to my husbands awesome expression on the rollercoaster (might be a last time there too ) to getting absolutely soaked, and laughing A LOT, on the raft ride (our family favourite), it was a brilliant day. Rounded off with a lovely…

3 days ago by mumturnedmom B E T T E R This one is feeling much better now, after the split chin incident! As we can't go to the pool, we're finding other ways to stay occupied. Today we went for a wander around our local zoo, stroked a snake and fed the goats
1 week ago by mumturnedmom W A V E S It's a bit grey and miserable today, but hoping to get back to the beach tomorrow... such crazy weather we're having, never quite know what to expect one day to the next!
6 days ago by mumturnedmom S U M M E R It's going too fast. I want a pause button. I want more days like this at the beach, more time at the pool, more lazy days with the kids. My eldest and I have just got back from school supply shopping; getting organized for back to school makes me realize just how little vacation we have left On the plus side, we still have lots of adventures planned for our last couple of weeks of holiday. And there will definitely be more beach days ☀️

Seriously, how scary is that, 2030 This little one was thrilled to catch up with her soon to be classmates, and had a great time running around. I'm having a little trouble with my youngest starting school, where has the time gone?!?
