I read this on one of my best friends blog. I fell in *LOVE* with it the moment I read it. I feel like this often, and I thought it was so good that it deserved a space on my blog!
ENJOY!
Goodnight Mom
In the messy green family room
There was a telemarketer ringing on the telephone
And a crying toddler because his brother just popped his red balloon
And a picture of--
The cow jumping over the moon
(which someone colored on with permanent marker)
And there was a missing teddy bear, and a girl with gum in her hair
And one to be scolded
And laundry to be folded
And a very hungry spouse
And something stinky in the house
(that no one else seemed to smell)
And a comb and a brush and a colicky baby who just won't shush
And a frazzled mommy screaming #*%#@
Goodnight messy room
Goodnight scribbled on moon
Goodnight cow getting out while she can
Goodnight telemarketers
And the popped balloon
Goodnight long-gone teddy bear
Goodnight cereal bar smeared all over the dining room chair
Goodnight spit up
And goodnight leaky sippy cup
Goodnight much-too-little house
And goodnight grumpy spouse
Goodnight comb and goodnight brush
And goodnight to a certain 4-year-old who just needs to hush right now I mean it
Goodnight Elmo
Goodnight toys we'll pick up tomorrow, or the next day
Goodnight noises everywhere
Hello ice cream and TiVo--

Awesome! Sooo creative!
That's a lot like how I felt yesterday!
I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that doesn't live up to the illusion of motherhood!
I get after myself a lot about how much I should be doing because I'm not doing enough. Glad I'm not alone!
HAHA, so true!!!
that is truly funny and true.
fly safe today.
I am sure glad you feel this way too. I just told cory that he gets the kids tomorrow morning and they better not bug me or else.... we'll see how it goes!
