So, today started like this:

And, by the way,

hashtag no nap.

And our son just figured out how to watch Family Guy on the iPad. He’s in stitches.

So, it got me thinking…

and since I have become a dedicated songwriter,

I started to sing the Meghan Trainor song in my head.

Perhaps it had to do with the fact that the stairs to our third floor guest room are covered in plastic food,

or that there are picture frames lined up on our landing,

or that I found the Brita filter sitting on the kitchen floor.

And did I mention #nonap?

So, here, for your listening and viewing pleasure, is my tribute to Ms. Trainor’s song

and my life when I am a SAHM for the day.

By the way, I am not shy, but this takes GUTS, as you will see. Because, I say in the song, I am disheveled and messy and my five year old video taped me singing along to a karaoke track

because I truly believe that you will relate. Or, at least you can laugh at me. It’s ok. I am laughing too.

Here Goes:

Dear Current Husband

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if

You wanna be prepared to come home from work today.

First you’ll walk in the door,

and say, “What’s on the floor?”

Did you forget that we still had a bag of candy corn?

‘Cause it was found today

and dumped here, on display,

I cannot clean, I, I just cannot clean.

You got the 9-5

But baby so do I

But by that I mean 5am to 9 o’clock at night

Kid’s crawling over me

and trying hard to reach

My own kale smoothie

My own, my own kale smoothie.

You gotta know we’re being overrun by babies

I think they truly may be crazy

Tell me everything’s alright.

Dear Current Husband,`

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if

You wanna be prepared for a messy looking wife.

Dear Current Husband

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if

You don’t want to hear me whine and groan

the rest of your life.

Been up since 5 o’clock

Can’t find two matching socks

and spent the morning with no grown up but DJ Lance Rock

Our boy’s the cutest thing

But I am wondering

Is some thing wrong with me, something something wrong with me?

You gotta know we’re being overrun by babies

I think they truly may be crazy

Please tell me everything’s alright.

Dear Current Husband,`

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if

You want me to stay up with you for a date night.

Dear Current Husband

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if

You don’t think I’ll simply just zone out

to Real Housewives.

I’ll be sleeping on the right side of the bed (hey)

You do the early shift you might get some kisses

My sleep is precious time

One of the things that’s mine

With no little hands on me, no no little hands on me.

You gotta know we’re being overrun by babies

I think they truly may be crazy

Tell me everything’s alright.

Dear Current Husband,`

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if

You wanna be prepared for a messy looking wife.

Dear Current Husband

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if

You don’t want to hear me whine and groan

the rest of your life.
