Well, make your topic of the day politics or religion, and you get some ACTION! Whoo hoo! Thanks to everyone who read my blog yesterday, I just wish you'd ALL come back every single day! And FOLLOW me for goodness sakes!
I'm less inclined to be as wordy today. Instead, read a dumb poem I was inspired to pen this morning.
Ode to Dirty Laundry
Jen’s day begins
Gentle shall she awaken..
Wait, she’s got children,
You must be mistaken
Loud meowing at the foot of the bed
Slamming of doors, voices, FLUSH!
She groans and pulls the warm blankets back over her head
On with the day
Coffee in hand
Kids off to school
Read Mom’s daily email, check eBay, Facebook, Bank balance…
Where’d all our money go??
Ahh, Jen, its called Supply and Demand
Wipe sticky counters
Clean up the dishes
Take a quick shower
Make the bed
Empty trash
Make those appointments
Run out to get milk
Haul 50 pounds of laundry
Down
Down
Down
Into the dark basement
The detergent is sticky
Blue goop down the side
This laundry is smelly
Stinks like somebody died
Back up to the sunlight
Breathing in the fresh air
Don’t slip on that pop tart
Children left on the stair
The hours pass so quickly
Family home…no more calm
Predictable and whining
“Whats for dinner? We’re hungry, Mom!!”
Alas, the day is over
Just collapse into bed
She turns to her hubby for a kiss
But gets a bedtime fart instead.
Goodnight!
