Tuesday Morning

Hi mommy, I got out of bed.
All by myself, did you hear what I said?
I see that love, you are up indeed
Some juice, a bagel, what do you need?
I'll watch a show, Pinky Dinky Do.
Someone was in my dream, do you know who?
That I don't know, butter or cream cheese?
Butter, cut into four pieces please.
Here you go, sit up here
I'll put on a show, there you go dear.
I hear Sammie, she is awake.
I hear her too, don't touch that cake.
Is it a school day for me today?
That it is, hurray, hurray.
I'll get Sam, sit on your knees.
You didn't give me any cream cheese.
You said butter, don't you remember?
Sammie's crying, don't forget her.
Up the stairs, over the toys,
What would it be like if I had boys?
Hi Sam, let's go downstairs
We'll get a brush and comb your hair.
No, no, no, where is Wyan?
Eating breakfast, stop your crying.
Bagel for you or maybe toast?
Oatmeal. I want the most.
I know that, you always do,
Mickey Mouse or something new?
Minnie Mouse and some juice.
Then we'll have to find your shoes.
Do you want a ponytail or a bow?
Yes please. Okay, we'll go with the flow.
A red clip, blue bow, butterfly clear.
Ryan, look at your hair in that mirror.
That's funny, I'll leave it like this!
I think not my little miss.
Two vitamins, here you go.
Sammie, are you sitting down low?
Here's a tray, don't spill please.
Mommy, today we're learning our D's.
Bring a dog, that starts with D.
Mommy, mommy I have to go pee.
Go quick and let's get dressed.
I'm tired, I'll take a rest.
No, put on this shirt, do it quick.
My tummy hurts, maybe I'm sick.
I'm sure you're fine, here are Sammie's pants.
Put them on when you're done with that dance.
Have another bite, put on your skirt.
I fell down, but I'm not hurt.
Here's your lunch, time to run.
I'm still eating, I'm not done.
Bring it in the car, eat it there.
Can I bring along my teddy bear?
In the car, but not to school.
I know that Sammie, that's a rule.
Wait for the gate, wait for the light.
Trees and kids and dogs in sight.
Turn the corner, break up a fight,
Smile knowing I do it again tonight.
Watch out for cars, kids move fast,
I'll sign us in mom, off to class.
Sammie to the right, Ryan to the left.
Lunchboxes, nap bags, lots to heft.
Hugs and kisses, one more hug.
Sammie grabs a book, sits on the rug.
Ryan on the slide, a wave goodbye
Two kids at school, a mother's high.
