Christmas Mess
It looks like our Christmas tree threw-up all over the house!
Toys, batteries, and an empty box,
on the chair is son’s dirty socks.
Poinsettia plant spilled all over the floor,
when kitty got scared and ran to the door.
Cups and glasses are on the table,
I’d wash them up now if I felt able.
Walked into the kitchen and stepped on a Lego,
"Hey, who got into the last box of Eggo’s!"
Children know dishes won’t clean themselves,
they’re probably waiting for magic Christmas elves.
Went into the bathroom and what did I see,
a candy cane on the floor instead of the tree.
Hubby and I are not happy with the mess,
it can cause us a lot of undo stress.
But this is Christmas and everyone knows,
when you have children, that’s how it goes.
A day will soon come when the children are grown,
they all will move out and we’ll be alone.
The hustle and bustle will be in the past,
and we will be able to rest at long last.
The house will be clean and tidy and neat,
and we won’t have to worry where we step our feet.
We’ll put up our tree and lay out the gifts,
but it’s the mess after Christmas we always will miss.
Hope you’re all enjoying your Christmas week! God Bless!
Until next time…
🙂

Rerere: I let my wife handle most of the leftovers. Bad me. Though I did polish off some tonight, since she’s at her mother’s and I didn’t feel like cooking.

ryn: I know eh? After pushing out a baby, I don’t think I’d feel up for anything. But different people heal at different speeds. She also has a rare migraine condition where the meds she’s on makes certain birth controls ineffective, the only one she was able to use wasn’t very effective in itself. Especially since it’s quite literally, take on the same hour each day or it won’t work.

Luckily she’s on a new birth control that doesn’t get counteracted by her meds and is super effective. It’s the one I was using before we decided to have kids and I loved it.

RYN: Someone needs to show that article to your health board. They are a cause of waste. I, sometimes, buy past-dated rolls at Walmart. They are prefectly good to eat. Be well, my friend.
