The housework never seems to end.
With clothes to iron, socks to mend.
The dust is building up again.
No time to even phone a friend.

Dishes to wash, another meal to cook.
All of the rugs have already been shook.
Washing and scrubbing every little nook.
No time for a magazine or a book.

Then out the door with a list of errands.
Checking each one off as I get them done.
Drive to the school and pick up the children.
This hectic day has not been any fun.

Last meal finished everyone has been fed.
One more mend to make, with needle and thread.
The kids are at last tucked into their bed.
And quiet time for me now lies ahead.

These next couple of hours are my own.
So give me a book or perhaps the phone.
I'll soak in the tub, and let my mind roam.
Just give me my space and leave me alone!

Everyone needs their space,
especially to read, write or create!

I agree~

Oh, I know this scenario all too well. That "me time" is like heaven.

I agree and hope you have a relaxing time.
I can come and scrub your back if you want me to but I'd have to get out my flying saucer to make the rip in a hurry. I'm trying to save on my air miles because the lease is almost up and I want to get out of those payments. (smile)

Good poem!
