Hilary Weeks - To-do List lyrics

The alarm clock goes off. I feel like Im dead. I push snooze three times Then I roll out of bed The house is so quiet The kids still asleep I have time to myself So I brush my teeth Then I read my scriptures And say my prayers Heaven knows Ill need help Not to pull out my hair I wish my whole day could be calm like this But alas let the rat race begin The kids all wake up I help them get dressed I do their hair then I make them breakfast A healthy well balanced meal I serve captain crunch and fruit loops I pack them a lunch I find shoes and socks Just in time for the bus I kiss them as they walk out the door You might think Id be lonely but there are two more I plop them in front of morning T.V. Its a small price to pay for my sanity Then I exercise for 20 minutes Shower, dress and do the dishes Throw in a few loads of laundry Vacuum the floor Sweep the kitchen, dust the shelves I really ought to hire help Change a diaper, find my keys Then head out the door To Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, ShopKo, Walgreens just to get a few things Back in time for visit teaching But thats not all Plan the budget pay the bills, Clean up at least a dozen spills Check my e-mail, write a blog, Then call my best friend Help with homework, drive to soccer Make an appointment with the doctor Plan a birthday, feed the dog, Piano lessons Send the friends home Pick the kids up Time for the dinner Ill order pizza And when tomorrow comes Ill do this all again Then my husband comes home, and pulls something out of my hair Its a smushed cheerio; I didnt know it was there He gives me a hug in his sweet gentle way And then he asks, So, what did you do today? Just the usual
