Tornado day

Buzz through the house swiping up, picking up
Make some calls, dress myself and the children
Feed the calling hungry birds, sending the oldest to school

Rush jobs here and there
Hurry in the car, oh yea, dance class
Opps, the car pool doesn't work out

Fit in grocery shopping and library during dance
Pick up, off to preschool, rush back just in time
Writing group at my house, what have I written to share?

Oh, no, the jam jar fell, smashed all over the driveway!
Friends already here, quick, put the refrigorated stuff away
Smile calmly, greet my friends

How peaceful the baby sleeps, while we visited
Now to the computer, then look out for the bus,
Type up invitations for a mother's night out

Help with piano, help with homework, help get snacks
Drive around to deliver invitations with the kids
Home to make the dough for pizza

Husband home, hurray, hurray!!
We all cook, set the table, and eat together
I forgot the get-together at Grandpa's?

Finish Home evening, jump in the car in time to say "hi"
Grandparents, extended family, let them see the baby walk
Home for baths, books and bed

All in a tornado day
