I Think I Need Some Sleep

I have no pictures
I have no post
My kids have stopped listening
My parenting skills are toast

I think it's time for super nanny
I've fallen in to that trap
Do you think she'd watch my kids for me
While I take a nap?

My dishes are dirty
My house is a mess
My daughter's picking her nose
My son is wearing a dress

I can't remember my last shower
My hair's a stranger to a brush
My chores are piling up sky high
And my husband's in no rush

Don't know what I'll make for dinner
Or if I even will
Don't know what's in my bank account
And I need to pay some bills

The phone is ringing off the hook
I'd answer if I could find it
Probably that car salesman again
That man's a persistant twit

The washing machine just ran over
The dryer smells real hot
And I am supposed to remember to....
Hmmm....already forgot

Had to buy some groceries
The cupboards are quit bare
My grumpy kids and lenghty list
Don't make a real good pair

Then Santa reminded me today
36 days until Christmas
He sparked a smirky smile
That made me almost cus

I'd like to depants Santa
In front of all the crowd
Teach him to intimidate me
We'll see then who's laughing loud

That man will learn not to mess
With a woman overworked
A mom who's had no sleep in months
I'll surely teach that jerk

I know that time is ticking
I know I'm under the gun
And pretty soon it will be down
To three... two... one

I'll scrub my house and clean my kids
And bake up pies galore
I'll finish all that laundry
I'll even mop the floor

I'll take that needed shower
I'll even fix my hair
I'll put on all my make-up
And pretend to not have a care

I'll have the turkey roasted
And the table will be set
With all the finest china
My guests needs will all be met

Every detail will be tended to
No matter how mundane
And my guests will never know
I have almost gone insane

I will not stress this holiday
On my lip I will not chew
I'll pull it off again this year
Cuz that's what women do!
