I think in this situation a haiku or two are necessary.

Maria is there
I'm here; hands, eyes, attention
Free to do my work

BUT

Phantom limb syndrome
Isn't just in amputees
It's in Mommies, too

sad haiku

sitting here, back to work;
across the street from baby -
i'm not ready yet.

christmas haiku

yule log on tv
Santa Claus is coming soon
it is hot outside


tomorrow we fly
Nana, Papa, here we come
is it snowing yet?


the gifts are all wrapped
lots of laundry still to do
hurry up dryer


birthday of Jesus
hark, the herald angels sing
yes, glory to God
