Mom on Patrol

Trying to control the happy chaos can be a true challenge for multitasking mothers. We all are grateful for those alone moments when we can recharge and refocus.

Responding to the Call

Reprimand and intervention fill my day.
Pockets of fun soothe the mood.
Urgent voices call for mama rescue.
Frustration whips my thoughts.
"Mama, you need to handle this."

Room to room I survey the peace.
Resting children curled in slumber.
Quiet bathes me with refreshing ease.
Best intentions whisper in my ear.
"Mama, you tried your best today."

Enjoy your Saturday! I'm making a birthday cake for my sister this morning. We have a kid inspired family party scheduled for this afternoon. My house is a mess! I have a lot of work to do :) Wish me luck that my kids control their "happy chaos" at least for the morning.
