Please Excuse our House

Some houses try to hide the fact

That children shelter there,

Ours boasts of it quite openly,

The signs are everywhere!

For smears are on the windows,

Little smudges on the door.

I should apologize I guess

For toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with the children

And we played and laughed and read,

And if the door bell does not shine,

Their eyes will shine instead!

For when at times I am freed to choose

The one job or the other,

I want to be a homemaker

But first I'll be a Mother!

I found this poem today and I really loved it.

Our days are usually busy...These kids are so much fun!
