Mother's Day

Since we weren't all able to get together on Sunday, we went out to breakfast dinner at Denny's yesterday. We originally wanted to go to County Waffles, but we didn't know they're only open until 3pm. I thought it was like Denny's, only not open 24 hours, but apparently, they are not. Denny's was still yummy and we had a good time... that's what matters!

I Want To Be Locked Up
(Thoughts from a harried mom, who is beginning to think some time in a minimum-security, white collar crime prison is looking pretty good.)

I want to be locked up

Away from everything,

Free from all the craziness

A mother's day can bring.

No planning, shopping, cooking

Three healthy meals a day,

Served up with love to finicky kids

Who throw most of it away.

No constant interruptions,

Dirty laundry on the floor,

Driving everyone every place,

Sibling rivalry (It's war!)

No one asking me to do things,

Getting mad if I forget,

Me giving up my very self,

I'm the family marionette.

Prison sometimes looks appealing

(Or maybe the looney bin),

I get three square meals a day,

With nothing to do, I win!

I want to be locked up

For freedom, time, and such,

There's just one obstacle for me:

I love my kids too much!

Happy Mother's Day to all moms!
