To be the girl who can do it all
As I was sweeping the dirty floors, which were way overdue (The Place We Dump Our Stuff)
Within my pile of dirt and grime resided several buttons, a shoe-lace, a couple gems from broken costume jewelry and a single-fake pearl
And I thought to myself...
I wish I was the type of mom who could stop for five minutes, and create something brilliant from this dusty eclectic junk
Instead I threw it away
And pondered all the things I could or should be (for about 10 seconds)
Then someone needed help going to the potty, and dinner needed to be made, and I had to finish the reports from my audit, and I danced with the kids and I sang Jesus loves me and I read David and Goliath for like the 100th time, and I kissed my husband, and I prayed and I breathed in real deep and I let it all out
And I realized - I'm already doing it
Who cares about a junky bracelet that would probably end up in the trash anyway
