Poem to share...

I got this from a March '08 post from The Walker's blog and I just LOVED it. I really should remember this - maybe it should go on the fridge!

Excuse This House
-Author: Unknown

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there,
Ours boasts it quite openly,
The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges are on the doors.
I should apologize, I guess,
For toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with my child
And we played and laughed and read.
And if the doorbell doesn't shine,
Her eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I'm forced to choose
The one job or the other,
I'd like to cook and clean and scrub,
But first I'll be a mother.
