You Have No Idea

you say I'm just a housewife and I don't work as hard as you you think I live an easy life with no real work to do each morning I make the bed then pick up all your clothes a to do list in my head longer than this poem shows go clean up the den then off to the laundry room head into the kitchen another dance with the lazy broom run to the corner market get dinner in the Crock Pot oh, Lord, what did I forget? 11 a.m. and I'm already shot I sit down to write hoping for a masterpiece in for another fight to get creativity to increase then it's off to the living room clean the crumbs you left on the couch head to clean the bathroom bang my knee on the tub, OUCH! by the end of the busy day I'm lusting for my bed but fall asleep? no way! still not done and tomorrow's list already in my head!

I totally feel you christy, this is me everyday, although I do have a job aside my home job. This is very true in every sense, I love it :)

I feel for you, Christy! But it makes me happy knowing that you can still (somehow) find the time to write great poetry. A pleasure reading you this morning!

You'll get no argument from me here (and I wouldn't win anyway) :) I know how difficult it is to maintain a household and that is why I drag myself out of bed every day to go work...it's much easier. Loudly expressed Christy and rightly so.

As the old saying goes: A man works from morn to the setting of the sun but a woman's work is never done. I know exactly how you feel my friend. A fine write. God Bless, JB
