I’m tired as !%$@
I KID! I KID!
I’m tired as the 100 year old wooden bridge over the creek.
I’m as tired as: yesterday’s lies;
a seagull in a hurricane;
an old farmer with just one more row to hoe;
the folds of her last love letter;
the pedals of a kid’s first bike;
Ooooo! The love letter one got me! Strong, Greg… strong!
Thanks brother … how’s the process of the adoption coming along? blessings on ya <
Thanks, Greg! God has provided amazingly through His grace and His people to provide all the funds, and we expect to go get them in February! We can’t wait!
That’s wonderful news. Just know that we have been praying for those boys to become ‘Baxters’ … blessings on ya <
I agree with Brent! The love letter was soooo good!!
Tired as a … hibernating bear
I’m as tired as:
The lines I can trace on your face.
A good tired can be.
The ice clinging to life at the bottom of my whisky glass.
Tired can be, since I broke free.
As the wilting flowers he gave you last night
Just can’ t resist –
I’m as tired as a dead pig in the sunshine
Channeling my grandma this morning. ?
Your grandpa has a way with words!
Oops… Grandma, not grandpa!

I’m as tired as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
I’m as tired as……….
the cameraman filming a hot new dig on Oak Island
the lazy dog that the quick brown fox jumped over
the doorman to Noah’s Arc who’s tryin’ to keep the 3rd monkey out ? (sorry- kinda’ stole that concept from some good folk!)
the person standing behind Dr. Ben Carson when he speaks
you are over Trump’s tweets
“I’m as tired as____”
… this hurt I can’t shake
…a dream on its’ last legs,
hittin’ the knees for one more pray
…those sugar-coated lines I’ve been fed,
only so many times I can shake this ol’ head
…a back-breaking forty-hour week,
followed by a weekend I can’t wait to repeat
…this guessing game that won’t seem to end
I’m as tired as…
Dolly Parton’s buttons.
The thoughts of you that keep running through my mind.
Christmas lights in February.
