Stay At Home Mom

Oatmeal stained pants
milk stained rug
1 diaper pail full
6 bottles to scrub

Switch clothes to the dryer
3 more loads to wash
background music: Miss Spider
the least annoying to watch

Time for lunch
"airplane" makes you laugh
I smell something awful
Time for a bath

Scrub-a-dub-dub
too many toys for one tub
but they keep you entertained
while I get the job done
 
All squeeky clean
time for a nap
But surprise! ...you're not tired
How about that?

Back to the kitchen
dirty dishes to wash
background music: Yo Gabba Gabba
the most annoying to watch

Full time, over time
every single day
complete infinite tasks
on a zero dollar pay

But then I look over
and catch you smiling at me
Somehow thats worth more
Than any check will ever be
