Apr 16th 2006 3:25PM Here is a poem for all the women who feel they have to explain when things are not totally in order around their home. I've been saying it for 16 years now!

EXCUSE THIS HOUSE

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there;
Ours boasts of it quite openly
The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges on the doors;
I should apologize, I guess;
For toys shrewn on the floor.

But I sat down with the children
And we played and laughed and read;
And if the doorbell doesn't shine,
Their eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I'm forced to choose
The one job or the other;
I'd like to cook and clean and scrub,
But first I'll be a mother.

Now get some pretty paper, print it, frame it, and hang it for everyone to read!! Enjoy everyday with you children!!
