This was posted on a mom forum where I'm a member:
In the messy green
family room
There was a telemarketer ringing 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 spitup
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

very nice...except my "me" time tends to come at the opposite end of the clock. The wee hours of the morning after I have seen husband off to work is mama time around here. Except when the little man gets up with us. Then usually it doesn't work into the schedule on that day since naptime is time to eat a meal at a normal pace and do housework.
Hope all of you are well!
ok so wee isn't so wee..we get up around 5.30
