With so many moms sheltering-in-place with their families, I thought I’d share this list poem a wrote a while back…
A Mom’s Lament
Dirty dishes in the sink. Laundry that’s begun to stink. Toys and trash on the floor. Fingerprints on walls and door. Squabbling siblings acting rude. Husbands in a grumpy mood. Dinners that get pushed aside. One more kid that needs a ride. Loud music pounding in my head. Children that won’t go to bed. Running ragged, running late, Missing out on a rebate. Why’d I sign up for this life? It’s tough to be a mom and wife. But the truth is, I wouldn’t change a thing. This life is what makes my heart sing.
A sweet poem about a crazy season of momming. I miss those days.
