A Mom’s 12 Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, the mom life gave to me
A tree that needs redecorating
On the second day of Christmas, the mom life gave to me
Two leaky pipes
And a tree that needs redecorating
On the third day of Christmas, the mom life gave to me
Three puking kids
Two leaky pipes
And a tree that needs redecorating
On the fourth day of Christmas, the mom life gave to me
Four unannounced guests with strong cable news preferences
Three puking kids
Two leaky pipes
And a tree that needs redecorating
On the fifth day of Christmas, the mom life gave to me

Four opinionated guests
Oh boy, it’s norovirus
Two leaky pipes
And a tree that needs redecorating

Six sugar crashes

Can we not talk politics in front of the children?
Three feverish kids
Two flooded rooms
And a tree that needs redecorating
On the seventh day of Christmas, the mom life gave to me
Seven missing Amazon packages
Six sugar rushes
The line is HOW LONG for the City Park train?!?!
Four opinionated guests
So much extra laundry
Two leaky pipes
And a tree that needs redecorating

Four opinionated guests
There goes all my vacation time
Two broken appliances
And a tree that needs redecorating

Ten unaddressed Christmas cards
Forgot the elf again
Eight temper tantrums
Still checking the friggin’ tracking
Six sugar comas
Failed family photos
Four opinionated guests
Snot all on the couch
Two leaky pipes
And a tree that needs redecorating

That’s enough, Uncle Stanley
Someone pass the Zofran
Dog poop tracked through the house
And a tree that needs redecorating

Twelve parent-involved classroom activities
Eleven teacher gifts
Ten forgotten Christmas cards
The elf is lazy, kiddos
Eight temper tantrums
Seven squished Amazon packages

Two insurance claims
And a tree that needs redecorating
