I read this story the other day and had myself a little chuckle...Isn't it so true. Josh will be away on business for a couple days this week in addition to other evening activities that will keep him away from family time. Me and the kids most of the week...Lord help me to remain sane and love my time with the kids. We only get one chance to do it all right and to His Glory :)
Goodnight Mom
(with apologies to Margaret Wise Brown)
In the messy green family room
There was a telemarketer ringing the telephone and a crying toddler because his brother just popped his red balloon
And a picture of --
The cow jumping over the moon (which someone colored on with permanent marker)
And there was a missing teddy bear, and a girl with gum in her hair
And one to be scolded
And laundry to be folded
And a very hungry spouse
And something stinky in the house (that no one else seemed to smell)
And a comb and a brush and a colicky baby who just won't shush
And a frazzled mommy screaming #*%#@
Goodnight messy room
Goodnight scribble-on moon
Goodnight cow getting out while she can
Goodnight telemarketers and the popped balloon
Goodnight long-gone teddy bear
Goodnight cereal bar smeared all over the dining room chair
Goodnight spitup
And goodnight leaky sippy cup
Goodnight much-too-little house and goodnight grumpy spouse
Goodnight comb and goodnight brush
And goodnight to a certain 4-year-old who just needs to hush right now I mean it
Goodnight Elmo
Goodnight toys we'll pick up tomorrow, or the next day
Hello chardonnay and TiVo--
"me" time finally

Okay, that was hilarious! I've never seen that before! I feel for you, girl! Oh, and you mentioned Josh is going to be working late a lot--what's he doing these days that's making him work then?
I'm trying to enjoy the next 2 1/2 months of only 2 hour practice, because I know I won't see my husband before dark this spring!!=)
i have never seen that before too. And although my child is not yet two, I completely can relate to alot of those items.
