Where Is My Time, Humor

I try to be the best wife and mom Yet my patience is running thin There are bills to pay and screaming mouths to feed…. Oh, Where do I begin? Just too many duties In the course of a day And did I forget to mention My earnings... “NO PAY” Laundry, shopping, cooking and dishes I have no time- To even scratch where I’m itching “Can I have a dollar please?” “Mommy I have a terrible wheeze!” “Mommy she called me a “Name” “Mommy can we play a game?” The dog keeps messing on the floor My kids are always crying poor Or something on their body’s sore I want to run right out the door! Homework, cupcakes.. due tomorrow! "I have a date..The car can I borrow?" Answering the door and phone all day long Confined to a punished for doing nothing wrong” I can’t find a soul to take out the trash Off to the doctors for my daughter’s butt rash I wipe up a drink. I mop up the floor Only to find that my daughter spilled more Entertaining a birthday party sleepover Picking up the guest like i'm a chauffer I have to scrub the toilet and sink I only have time for one eye to blink I finally get home to rest on the sofa In hopes to catch a glimpse of some Oprah Instead I'm entertained by Spongebob again Rehearsing the lines inside of my head Nick Nite and MTV, Is just about killing me Between Rap Music and big bootie shaking, I pray that my sight and hearing is taken Ohhhh........ Where is the time for me to be “ME?” To sit in quiet at my own TV Or take a hot bath, even read a good book These things are so much overlooked Well I have to go Someones calling my name “MOMMMMY” …The underpaid dame (Can you relate)
