'Twas the night before school starts
And I. Can't. Even. Contain my excitement Because they're all finally LEAVIN'! Lunch boxes, backpacks, and shoes by the door Filling summer days with fun my job is no more They're all finally in bed- bathed, brushed, and sleepy While I'm over here feeling anything but weepy Mom is so ready to finally get peace The messes, the meals, they're about to just cease We boated, we swam, we drove and took trips We've milk-shaked, and grilled and ate our body weight in chips Summer was full of fun, pools, and sun But now I just need it to really be done It's time for some structure, some routine and some math and for mom to relax in a nice quiet bath When the alarm strikes tomorrow, the kids they must go There's history and science and lessons to know Of course I will miss all these kids and the happy I will try not to think about memories and be sappy Instead I will grin because summer, that's a wrap And now I can finally relax and take MY NAP. So off you go kids, and have a great day We both need this break, until roughly next May! Melissa Fenton is a humor writer. Find her work all over the internet, but mostly on the dinner table.
