When Do I Write?

When do I write?
All day and night,
in little bits and pieces.
I live an interrupted life
as mom, Oma, and wife,
and must use moments in between
carpooling kids and washing jeans.
When I do have time to sit,
I pick up needles and I knit.
I have notebooks by my bed,
pens and pencils in the drawer by my head,
a grocery list notebook in my purse,
that has been used to scribble verse,
and a kid's school notebook in my car.
I'm a red light writing star.
Two computers on my desk
I use to compile these random lines of text.
Rearrange and edit for a minute
while supper overcooks.
My name may be Paula Dean
(Nevison), but I am not a cooking queen,
just a stay-at-home mom who always works.
