Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
She said I can go to work until you find another job
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hand working dad to being Mr. Mom
I was driving home from just losing my job.
“What is Delaney going to think, “ I thought as I parked my car
“Hey Nicky”
“Hey babe “ I said giving her a half smile
“Nick , what’s wrong ?”
“I just lost my job”
She didn’t reply she gave me a hug and kiss
“You’re not mad?”
“No, I can go work until you get another job”
“I like the sound of that” I thought
“Daddy!” yelled our second youngest
“Hey Princess “I said picking her up
“Daddy, is going to be staying home you kids for a while “
“Yay!”
“I’m going to enjoy this”
Little did I know what I was in for.
Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom
“Daddy, that’s not where the crayons go” my daughter told me
“Where do they go?”
“One drawer higher”
“Daddy! Can you rewind Barney again”
“For the fifteenth time” I thought
First was breakfast then naps at 9
“Dad!”
“Yes”
“There’s bubble gum in Liza’s hair”
“Coming”
I cut the bubble gum out of my daughter’s hair and went to sit back down.
“What’s this on my chair?”
“Sweet Potatoes”
“Great its only Monday “
Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any maid can take
Being Mr. Mom
I had to take my son to football , my daughters to soccer and ballet.
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
Delaney left a shopping list that was seven pages long.
“Dad! Something’s burning”
I ran to the kitchen to see the stove smoky.
I took out what I was making for dinner and it was all charcoaled/
“I’m not eating that”
It's more than any maid can take
Being Mr. Mom
Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom
Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time
Before I go to bed tonight if our dog didn’t eat the classifieds I’ll look just one more time.
'Cause
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom
Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it
Honey you're my hero
She balances checkbooks , juggles bills.
And I thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it
“Nick, I’m home!”
“Hey babe”
“How was your day”
I didn’t reply I just pulled her into a close embrace and whispered in her ear “ Honey you're my hero”
