A Tale of Two Mornings

Hit the snooze, hit the snooze...how much sleep do I have to lose?
Check the time, check the time...rush a shower, looking fine.
Baby's up? Time for milk...sneak a cuddle?, spit-up on silk!
Wake up one, wake up two, do they know what to do?
Rush through breakfast, brush the hair..."Brush your teeth!"  Do they care?
Time for clothes, time for socks...keep them moving, trip on blocks
Shoes for one, two, and three, But where are the shoes for me?.
Jacket? Jacket!  Zip it up.  "Mom...MOM! my zipper's stuck!"
Out the door...out the door...Keep them moving a little more.
Carseats buckle, buckle away..."Whew!" the exhausted mom will say.

<<Breathe>>

Wake up to joyful chatter, snuggles, cuddles, love abounds
Yummy breakfast, happy talking, extra time can always be found
Not a schedule, but routine, as we move throughout the day
Still accomplishing our tasks: household cleanup, school and play.
Linger longer in the joy
With my girl and two young boys
