A poem about the "crazy schedule of being a mom".
Although I'm passed this stage of my life....(I wanna say "thank goodness"..but part of me misses it), this description of a typical "mom day" was once mine. I look back, and actually get tired just thinking about it. Loving our children, loving motherhood, and loving life, goes hand in hand with being exhausted.
BUT! Before the Poem, here's a picture that say's it all - It could be called "a day in the life of mom", but it's not...it's actually called, "A Painful Landing by a Passing Witch Draws Travelers to a Roadside Pumpkin Patch", lol, :)

OOPS, I Forgot to Pee!
Poem by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyright
Let's seeUp at three
Feed the baby
Back under the sheets
For a couple hours of sleep
Kids up for breakee
Gulping my tea desperately
Rush them to school gleefully
Walk the baby expediently
This being my time for me
Back home to clean insistently
Do three loads of laundry
Flee for groceries
Video Game Rentals late constantly
Go to work in my office impatiently
Where things have piled up overwhelmingly
Hubby claims I'm grumpy
Instead of crying I laugh hysterically
Baby bellows loudly
Time to change his nappy
Phone rings twenty times daily
Say I never call a bit angrily
Can't explain my life so harry
Don't want it to come out sounding scary
So I apologize gracefully
Kids home noisily
I'm panicky
My office work is not done completely
Oh well, its time to get them to hockey
Feed them first to keep them healthy
Bath time comes busily
Bedtime is love and kisses and favourite stories
Baby sleeping beautifully
My feet are up now restfully
Oops, I forgot to pee!
I assess my day on the toidy
Would I change my life at forty?
Are you kidding
Not this life's inspired journey!

Credit Where Credit is Due
Eventhough, in many cases, it isn't necessary to indicate where a photo, or a piece of art, was acquired, because it's "free stock", I still like to credit the artist.
As a Poet and Lyricist, I feel that's the least I can do.
So below are links from Art or other items on this page that don't have a link directly beside it.

- Great Clip Art on this site is from this link. Found it in my "internet travels" for free cartoon art to use.
