If You Give a Mom a Minute

Inspired by my life as a pregnant mama of 5 (or I guess 6!)

We've been reading "If You Give a Pig a Pancake", and "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" a lot lately!!!

If you give a mom a minute
she'll want a shower to go with it.

She'll start the shower and remember that she forgot her clothes,
so she will go into her closet to try to find something she'll fit in today.

When she's in there she'll have a hard time walking over all the stuff on the floor,
she'll start sorting all the out-grown kids clothes under her feet.

She'll then realize she's out-grown most of her clothes as well,
she then will start taking down the clothes shelf by shelf and try a few on.
She will remind herself that she's 10 weeks pregnant so that MUST be why only a fraction of her things fit.

She then hears a muffled sound of a child screaming coming from the basement
So she will go running down the stairs where she expects to find one of her five children will have a bone sticking out of some part of their body.

Her daughter will proceed to tell her that her brother was looking at her.
Her brother will deny it and say he's hungry, again!

As she begins upstairs to the kitchen she sees something blue out of the corner of her eye,
she takes a second look and before her eyes is a VERY blue wall that once was beige.

She'll begin the search for the culprit and soon find that he's left a strong scent to follow.
She will need to change him before disciplining him. So she asks his older brother to bring her a diaper.

Two of the kids will race each other to get mom the diaper,
one of them will slam their head into the door jam.
She'll have to get him a bag of ice to hold on his head so it doesn't swell.

She will notice something fly past the kitchen and see that the fugitive was trying to get away,
with help from the brothers strategically placed in each doorway,
he is captured.

Once she's finished with the little one, the little one inside her will cause her to have to use the restroom once again.
She'll go into the bathroom and hear the shower STILL running.

She'll reach in and feel that the water is no longer hot.

And chances are

Once the water warms up

She'll need another minute!!
