Excuse This House

Some houses try to hide the fact that children shelter there.
Ours boasts of it quite openly, the signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the window, little smudges on the doors.
I should apologize I guess for toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with the children and we laughed and played and read.
And if the doorbell doesn't shine, their eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I'm forced to choose the one job or the other,
I want to be a housewife, but first I'll be a mother.

My mom gave me this quote about a year ago and I read it everyday. I helps me keep perspective, I hope it does the same for you.
