ODE TO SUMMER:
Summer is the time to relax and enjoy
Sleeping late, lots of laughs and fun with my boys
Tons of camps which makes my kids smile
My wallet, not so much, the cost is just vile
Mommy Camp, movie nights and lounging around
Eating like crap and feeling quite round
The day can turn sour in a blink of an eye
“I want, I want, I want, what else can we buy?”
How many times in a day can I say
“Stop it, don’t do that, go do something, go play”
School is around the corner but not soon enough
The end of summer can be a bit rough
Everyone is fighting and there is zero respect
It is no wonder, as a parent, why I am so upset
I gave everything I have and am tired and worn
I feel used and abused, tattered and torn.
I love my kids madly but at times I give up
“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy”….WHAT?
I don’t expect a thank you, I don’t expect much
Just a nod, a smile or something as such
It is time to throw in the towel ’cause beach time is over
Now back to school so lets hop in my Rover
(Just kidding it’s a minivan…so not as cool
But it does the trick so I can’t ridicule)
Soccer, lacrosse, swim lessons galore
Only the best and that means door to door
Some days a Master, I definitely am not
But tomorrow I will try to give it a shot
Thank you summer…it was a fun one for sure
Even though for this mom, it was a lot to endure
Now back to my life and to some quiet in my house
That even includes my traveling spouse
School here we come so get out of my way
This Mommy Master has something to say
Parenting is hard and can downright suck
No one seems to listen or care, what the…
Funny how that goes, ain’t that the truth
What is wrong with our children and today’s youth?
While you figure that out, I must bid you adieu
Thanks for reading and happy schooling to you!
TOGETHER WE CAN MASTER MOTHERHOOD!™
