12 Days of Motherhood

I know that this means I have too much time on my hands…. But I thought of this song as we were watching “Franklin the Turtle” before bedtime tonight. I found my mind wondering and thinking of what a cool song I could write about Motherhood to the tune of “12 days of Christmas.” I know that I was thinking I should take down my Thanksgiving décor after the kids go to bed, which spurred the thought where I will put my Christmas tree, which then spurred the thought I get to listen to my Christmas CDs soon, which then progressed…. Or some may say digressed to this lovely song. Please sing it outloud for the full enjoyment of this song. I suggest you don’t cheat, but to layer the days just as in the song. You get to say poopy more times that wayJ Do you think I should go to bed??? I do.
