Alarm goes off at half past six
You hit snooze to get your fix
Of the sleep you lost the night before
As you frantically searched for a costume and more
Because your child has yet another theme day
At least the 12th time this year, you must say
Pinterest mom, you most definitely are not
It isn’t a stance you take, but the time you don’t allot
So instead you pull together a thing or two
And hope you have the theme down, too
It’s science day and they need a lab coat
Your husband’s button down with a marker you wrote
Your child’s name and drew some lines
And convince yourself he will look just fine
And then arrive and look at the others
With their wild hair, beakers, and accessories, oh bother
No time to look because you are already late
Shove your kid in there before they shut the gate
Wave goodbye and blow a kiss
As you notice his wild hair is amiss
Barely a minute to think as you are off to the next thing
The groceries, the laundry, any bells does this ring?
You rush through the day, no time for lunch
You must have forgotten something; it’s just a hunch
Back to school for pick up, arrive at 3:03
You’re late but think, at least he is four and has to wait for me
The other moms glance sideways as they leave for the day
With a look that says, “Poor Mama” and they walk away
But here is the thing, no matter what they think
This childhood will be over in a blink
Even if you feel frazzled that you “can’t do it all”
You are there for your kids, whether big or small
Stand proud Hot Mess Mom, you are doing your thing
Molding, shaping, and loving on your offspring
Late, forgetful, scattered, and trying to get it all done, but how
Don’t ever forget, you will never be as loved as you are right now.
