On the first day of vacation

My shoes stink

11. On the first day of vacation,

My child said to me

OH. You mean those leaves? They were stuck to my farm boots and I tracked them onto the porch by mistake and then kicked them off there. Sorry they were loaded. I guess when the snow melted the cats found out that what you hide today comes back to haunt you tomorrowโ€ฆ

We donโ€™t have any fun

Whenโ€™s dinnertime?

Babyโ€™s not a-sleeping

Sister is a-whining

Brother is a-teasing

I WANT A SNACK!

I need library books

My shoes stink

I thought it was just leaves and

Thereโ€™s cat poop all over the porch.

 

12. On the first day of vacation,

I got in charge of me

I said if this is going to be so hard, I guess Iโ€™llย write my own theme music and

Start a-singing

Letโ€™s have some fun

Dinnerโ€™s roasted turkey

Give up on the sleeping

Smile, no more whining

Stop all this teasing

YOU HAD A SNACK!

Here are brand new books

Scrub off your shoes

Guess youโ€™ll know for next time and

Letโ€™s dance on the freshly cleaned porch!


And that was only the first day, folksโ€ฆ

Haha, I love it! “Getting in charge of me” with a dash of humor…that crucial and difficult game changer

I love it! This Christmas has sort of been a Twelve Days theme, I keep hearing it everywhere, and many different versions. Yours is my favorite, hands down!
