Every day the same, the same as everyday

Everyday..

The children wake too early

They wake to the warmth of my arms

We go downstairs and they argue over the TV

We snuggle on the sofa keeping cosy together

I make porridge for my daughter which she complains is too hot

I make breakfast and fill hungry tummies

My son runs away when its time to get dressed

We play a game of who can get dressed the fastest

I make another round of lunchboxes with all the same fillings

I fill up their lunchboxes with the foods that they like

I break up fights over toys and trip over sofa cushion dens

I smile at them playing together and admire their creativity

I try to get dressed while they mess up my bed

I laugh at their laughter as they jump and be silly

I empty the dishwasher again and again

I ready the kitchen for the day ahead

I badger my sons to get out the door on time for school

“Have a great day” i call to my sons as they leave for their day

I play the same games and stare at the same walls

We have such fun together in our warm, safe home

Brush your teeth, have a wee, i bark endless commands

I teach the children the rhythms and routines of our lives

Please stop talking, don’t ask me another question

Tell me that story again, its so funny!

I cant wait until they are asleep so i can have a rest

Goodnight my sweet darlings, i hope you had a wonderful day

The repetition is killing me, i long to get away

Im so grateful for my children, i don't want to miss a thing

Will it always be like this?

I love you with all that I am

Everyday the same,

The same as everyday.
