If You Give a Mom Some Free Time — Her View From Home

If you give a mom some free time,

She’s going to find some laundry to do.

When she gathers the clothes,

She’ll probably see her son’s toy.

When she takes it to his room, she’ll see his memory book.

Then she’ll want to write in it . . .

To make sure she doesn’t get behind.

When she gets a pen,

She’ll notice an unfinished milk cup.

So she’ll probably take it downstairs to wash it.

When she’s finished washing all the dishes,

She’ll want to wipe up all the counters, too.

She’ll start wiping.

She’ll get carried away and

Wipe every surface in the house.

She may even end up vacuuming the floors as well.

When she’s done, she’ll probably be tired.

She’ll get her laptop with a blanket and pillow.

She’ll sit on the couch,

Make herself comfortable . . .
