Made breakfast for the cranky youngsters
Fed the baby a bottle
She dribbled milk all over herself and my new blouse
I loaded up the kids in the carseat and took them to daycare & school
I was late for work, and traffic was a nightmare
My husband called my cell phone to tell me
he got laid off from his construction job
I got to the office (I'm a Tech Analyst)
My supervisor chewed me out
for misplacing the mouse
I went out for lunch and got caught in the rain
left work early to pick up my new eye glasses
(wrong size)
I picked up the kids from school & daycare
Drove the boys to karate lessons

And, then the girls to tap & ballet
When we got back home,
all they wanted to do was watch TV
sing karaoke instead of doing their homework
After much chaos,
they took their baths & got ready for bed
after much hounding, they brushed their teeth
I read them their nightly bedtime stories
They finally went to sleep
So, I tried doing some aerobics in the living room
I think I'm getting a migraine
and, a runny nose
I'm pretty certain it's the flu
After a long and grueling day, I crawled
into bed and was just drifting off when
I realized I had forgotten something
Dear Lord, despite the topsy-turvy day
I've had, I give thanks to you and
For all the blessings you've bestowed upon me and my family.
next week, I'm off to the spa and pool for some
much-needed rest and relaxation with my girlfriend
