Ode To My Husband

So, Colin is having a fist fight with the economy. He's been laid off AGAIN. Second time this year. So here is an ode to my darling husband, courtesy of "Lonestar":

"Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
She said I can go to work until you find another job

I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom

Well Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom

Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any maid can take
Being Mr. Mom

Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time

'CausePampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr.Mom

Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it"

Colin, you're a great "Mr. Mom"! I hope you enjoy playing with your little buddy.
