hehe ,giggle, snicker,cackle who was listening to me pray last night?

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity to keep;
For if some peace I do not find,
I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind.
May I lie back — not have to think
About what they're stuffing down the sink,
Or who they're with, or where they're at
And what they're doing to the cat.
I pray for time all to myself...
(Did something just fall off a shelf?)
To cuddle in my nice, soft bed...
(Oh no, another goldfish — dead!)
Some silent moments for goodness sake...
(Did I just hear a window break?)
I pray I find a little quiet
Far from the daily family riot:
And that I need not cook or clean —
Well heck, I've got the right to dream!
Yes, now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my wits about me keep;
But as I look around I know —
I must have lost them long ago!

thanks Amy you send the funniest emails!

You have the craziest music playing on your b1og! I love it! There's one on now saying something about "I'll saw you in half" and "Give me the deed to your ranch or i'll blow you all to bits." Sounds pretty gruesome when i just type it! But its funny to listen to!

LOVE IT! I wish I could be so witty. I am sure we all could come up with some great stuff since we all can relate so well to each other - and lets just admit that being a SATH with many children is just funny most of the time:)
