If You Give a Mom a Moment...

I know my title is actually the name of my blogging friend Erin's blog, but the title of this post was inspired from a writing prompt by Mama Kat on Mama's Losing it.
So with no further adieu...

If You Give a Mom a Moment
If you give a mom a moment
she's going to take a little nap.

And when the kids see that she is sleeping
that's when they will begin wailing and weeping.

And when they begin to weep and shout
Then mommy's rage will come out!

"I need some sleep, I need a rest!"
For we all know a happy mom is best.

So the kids will settle down and watch TV,
and mom will lay back down with glee...

but by then she is wide awake
mom's just never get a break.

So if you give a mom a moment,
and she tries to get some sleep

chances are this time will end
with mommy shouting *bleep*.And for fun--the latest spot I found Eric napping
if you missed that post you can find it here

  6. I can't even believe he arranged himself like that AND fell asleep. I have to be in a completely darkened room, with a ceiling fan and the right blanket and I still can't sleep. Lucky Eric! Cute post!

  8. He ended up sleeping like this as he was playing a game with Lucas. What you can't see is that the couch is pushed out and they had a fort or home built back behind the couch, so he was back there with Lucas, and he lay down while playing and was asleep. :)

    It looks like Eric may be really in need of more nap time too.

  14. I wish I could fall asleep anywhere at any time. I'm always tired. It's worse with teens than it was when they were little. They stay up so late!!!!

  22. I LOVE your poem! So cute and clever. Yesterday I was trying to take a nap and the kids kept coming in and bugging me. I finally asked, "why is it that when Daddy takes a nap you never go and ask HIM questions every 2 minutes?!" And it's true! A mother's lot in life, I guess. :) But I should add that Matt finally came and shut the door so they'd quit bugging me.
