OK bitches, I retired early


I am no longer working


Maybe now....


I can take up twerking?





A needed break in my career


I am a stay at home mom


I can finally sleep late


It is gonna be THA BOMB





Its gonna be G R E A T!  I’ll bake cookies


And volunteer in their class


Then a friend reminds me


Other kids are a pain in the ass.





Quickly learning rest is for the wicked


And the righteous don’t need it


my yard needs work….


Maybe I will try to seed it?!?!





So I gave up my job


And fired my maid


I am going to clean, work out and diet


Be a shadow of what I once weighed





Hmmm mmmm free time for me


That ain’t right


It takes more than one mommy


To keep a house tight!





I have never worked harder


Or worked for less dollars


But they tell me it is rewarding


To be raising a couple of scholars.





Who the hell are THEY


Sister wives no doubt


Cause there is no other way


To bust all this shit OUT!





Rewarding it is


So not to be lessened or diminished


But nothing ever seems


To be completed.  Done.  Finished.








The clock goes off


Let the whining begin


Boom!  I am on trial


I feel like Ann Boleyn





They go for the jugular


Fresh out of bed


No visions of sugarplums


Up in THEIR heads!





Turn off the lights NOW mommy


It is just too bright


Who made them vampires


In the middle of the night!





My cereal is soggy


Make me pancakes instead!!


It is only soggy cause you’ve been bitching


Since you crawled out of bed!?!?!





I have nothing to wear


Can you PLEASE wash some clothes???


If I don’t get these czars out of my house


It’s gon come to blows.





It is STILL TOO bright mommy


SWEETIE, I need the light to make lunches


Yea well you SHOULD make them at night


Damn girl child is throwing low punches!





Really? Starting tomorrow


You can make them yourself!


Cause my ass is TIRED


Of playing the lunch elf!





Great start to the day


Hugs and kisses at the door


Can y'all get the hell out please?


I gotta mop the floor!





Why do we bother?


Because once they come back


They whole entire house


Will be a dirt track.





I sit to have coffee


Maybe it will warm my black heart


Damn this morning was awful


Can I get a fresh start?





Speaking of start


I have a date with the laundry


Wash clothes or clean bathrooms


My my, what a quandary!

                                                              (what people think we look like)

(what we actually look like)





I feel like Cinderella


But look more like Maxine


There is a pile on the island


Containing 4 new magazines





Who has time to read?


This place is a mess


I go to the pantry


And begin to assess





The damage done there


By the pillage and plunder


Of kids after school


Who roll in like thunder.





When they come home they are starving


And grunt like cavemen


Sigh, I could use a wife like me


Every now and then.





I sit for a second


In my chair that rocks


What is that smell??


Damn, the litter box!





Clean that box of nasty


So it’s fresh for the cat


I can tell you right NOW


Ain’t nobody got time for that!





Off to the store


Then back to pay bills


I am organizing this hizzle


With all my mad skillz!





In a  flurry of activity


The school calls, how nice


Stop what you are doing


We have a breakout of LICE!





Oh hell NO…!


We had those last year!!


If everyone THERE has them


Why bring them HERE?!?!?!





Oh yea, damn they are mine


I gotta go pick um up.


still drinking coffee


but now there is scotch in my cup!





Nothing strikes fear


In the heart of a mommy


Like the words HEAD LICE!!!


Seriously, I would prefer a tsunami!





The things you must do now


Make you cry, cuss and frown


I swear it would be easier


To just burn your house down!





Now washing blankets, stuffed animals


Bedding, pillows and hair


I find myself sniveling, catatonic


And babbling the Lords prayer.





My poor kids are clean now


But have been put through the ringer


I think they finally understand


Why mommy is a drinker.





I am tired and hungry


Bedraggled and wet


My knuckles are bleeding


Is this day over yet?





Now chance! onto dinner


Can we please just eat cake?


Seriously??  With all this drama??


Do you think I had time to bake?





This is all in a day


And it doesn’t come close


To being anywhere near over


And it is just one fifth of the dose.





There are five of these suckers


A whole damn week


Being a stay at home mom


Is not for the meek.





This shit is serious


Always something to do


I need to find another job


Before I become a shrew.



The worst of the story


And much to my horror


I have to wake up


And do it again tomorrow.





You will get into your groove


That is what my friends say


What I NEED is a friend


With cigarettes and an ashtray!





I don’t even smoke


But I swear it sounds good


I would smoke one as long as my arm


Right now if I could!





After dinner its bath time


Then books and to bed


Would y’all stop messing around


And just do as I said?





please go to sleep


because tomorrow comes early


Don’t you want mommy happy


Instead of surly?





Some time before dawn


My husband arrives


Says how was your day dear?


Looks like you survived.





I start from the beginning


Imma tell him the whole story


Wait, what is that noise??


Hhmmff that motha fucka is snoring!





I will follow my own damn advice


And just go to sleep


Then in the morning start on the laundry


That is still in a heap.





SAHM for a few days


And my ass is ready to drop


To all stay at home moms…


You got it, props!





The next one to ask “What do y'all do all day,


Meet friends and have lunch”??????


Gets a kick in the nads


And a massive throat punch!
