My friend put this on her blog and I felt like it was describing me exactly. Anyway, thought that I would share it with all of you. It is very cute and helps me think that maybe my life really isn't all that terrible, it's just part of being a mom (at least that is what I am telling myself so that I don't get too discouraged.)
Goodnight Mom
In the messy green family room
There was a telemarketer ringing on 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 spit up
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
Goodnight noises everywhere
Hello ice cream and TiVo--"Me" time finally

See ya later!
That was so funny! It sounds like my house. Everyone needs a little "me" time!
That sounds exactly like my house! I'm glad I'm not the only one.
That is so perfect! It sounds like we are all in the same boat!
That is exactly what happened at my house last night!
I love Tivo!
Guess what? Tivo doesn't die when you get old like me!!! They grow up before you know it and then they compete for "their" shows on tivo. I still love "me" time. Don't they need some "grandma" time? That's what Keegan tells me!
Isn't that the cutest poem! I love it because it is so true!
