To-do List Lyrics - Hilary Weeks

The alarm clock goes off. 

I feel like Im dead. 

I push snooze three times 

Then I roll out of bed 

The house is so quiet 

The kids still asleep 

I have time to myself 

So I brush my teeth 

Then I read my scriptures 

And say my prayers 

Heaven knows Ill need help 

Not to pull out my hair 

I wish my whole day could be calm like this 

But alas let the rat race begin 

The kids all wake up 

I help them get dressed 

I do their hair then I make them breakfast 

A healthy well balanced meal 

I serve captain crunch and fruit loops 

I pack them a lunch 

I find shoes and socks 

Just in time for the bus 

I kiss them as they walk out the door 

You might think Id be lonely but there are two more 

I plop them in front of morning T.V. 

Its a small price to pay for my sanity 

Then I exercise for 20 minutes 

Shower, dress and do the dishes 

Throw in a few loads of laundry 

Vacuum the floor 

Sweep the kitchen, dust the shelves 

I really ought to hire help 

Change a diaper, find my keys 

Then head out the door 

To Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, ShopKo, 

Walgreens just to get a few things 

Back in time for visit teaching 

But thats not all 

Plan the budget pay the bills, 

Clean up at least a dozen spills 

Check my e-mail, write a blog, 

Then call my best friend 

Help with homework, drive to soccer 

Make an appointment with the doctor 

Plan a birthday, feed the dog, 

Piano lessons 

Send the friends home 

Pick the kids up 

Time for the dinner 

Ill order pizza 

And when tomorrow comes Ill do this all again 

Then my husband comes home, and pulls something out of my hair 

Its a smushed cheerio; I didnt know it was there 

He gives me a hug in his sweet gentle way 

And then he asks, So, what did you do today? 

Just the usual
