It happened one morning...

All I want to do is rest,
But my sleep's been put to the test,
Whenever I try to sleep, there's too much noise.

Just when I'm about to doze,
Just when my eyelids close,
There is a sudden crash or a loud voice.

The door is creaking.
Is the faucet leaking?
I'm once again up in a snap.

The phone is ringing,
My daughter's singing,
Now I'll never be able to take this nap.

The phone has been answered,
Hubby says, 'The files were transferred.'
And then there's another resounding crash!

"Jeez guys, what have you done?
Now we'll have to make another one,
Quick now put that in the trash!"

I can hear my son yelping,
Do they need someone helping?
I know that they're going to give me a surprise.

Something starts beeping,
And while my heart is leaping,
I once again try to close my eyes.

Something goes BINGA-BONG-BONG,
That's when I know that something's wrong,
I just can't stand it anymore.

Just when I'm about to rise,
I hear shushes, I hear cries,
And my husband and children burst through the door.

My children sing, 'Happy Mother's Day'
While my husband hands me the tray,
There's coffee, my favorite muffin and some toast.

"Mom, it's not much, but look,
we (they exchange glances) can't really cook.
We just want you to know we love you the most!"

'I know', I think, and I'm all smiles,
I won't be angry for a really long while,
But why does my hubby keep throwing glances at me?

"Mom, you're so happy, stay like this a bit longer,
We thought things would be OK, we couldn't have been wronger,
Something's really gone wrong in the kitchen, you see..."
