Girl in a Whirl

I came across this little poem the other day and it always makes me laugh! It's been so fun to focus 100% on being a mom now that I'm not working- I feel like I can reinvent myself a bit and focus on some skills that I didn't have time for. Just have to remember I can't do it all!

The Girl in a Whirl

By: Dr. Sue

Look at me, look at me, look at me now!

You could do what I do if you only knew how.

I study the scriptures one hour each day,

I bake, I upholster, I scrub, and I pray.

I always keep all the commandments completely.

I speak to my little ones gently and sweetly.

I help in their classrooms, I sew all they wear,

I drive them to practice, I cut all their hair.

I go to the temple at least once a week;

I change the car’s tires and fix the sink’s leak.

I’m taking a class on the teaching of Paul,

But that is not all, oh no, that is not all!

I play the piano and work on my talents;

My life is a wonder of fullness and balance.

I read to my children, I help all my neighbors,

I bless my community, too, with my labors.

Our family home evenings are always delightful;

The lessons I give are both fun and insightful.

I do genealogy faithfully, too.

It’s easy to do all the things that I do.

I have a home business to help make some money;

I always look beautifully groomed for my honey.

My visiting teaching is done the first day;

I exercise, and I cook menus gourmet.

I can garden produce each summer and fall,

But that is not all, oh no, that is not all!

“It’s easy,” she said,

And then she dropped dead!
