Feels like Christmas Eve....

'Twas the night before school starting, when all through the house
not a child is stirring not even a mouse;

The outfits are hung by the hanger with care,
in hopes mom won't tell me "find something else to wear"

The children were rushed and hurried to bed,
While visions of summer fun danced in their heads;
And Mamma relieved she can finally take a nap;
And get back to the gym cuz she's gotten real fat....

Now, Alyson!, Now, Abby!, Now Alivia and Maggie!,
Stop bickering, stop yelling, stop all that dang fighting
Grab your backpack and lunchbox, get into the van!
Off to your teachers as fast as we can!

That's cute! Hope the girls have a good first day back at school. I remember the first day of school was always exciting.

Yes I wrote it last night after putting the kids to bed. It really did feel like Christmas Eve!
