I stumble through nappy changing
Rub crusty eyes and put the kettle on
It's time for a cup of tea
Two breakfast made and destroyed
Uniform found, teeth brushed, shoes cleaned
Reading book, spellings, lunchbox or dinners
No time for a cup of tea
An hour walk to school and back
In rain, wind, sun and occasional snow
We stop off for toddler time
I am owed a cup of tea
Lunch is a blur
Afternoon cartoons reign supreme
There's work to be done
But first a cup of tea
One more trip to school and back
Then it's homework and dinner and bathtime
Snuggly bedtime stories are my favourite
Then I sit, with a cup of tea
You can support my writing endeavours by buying me tea and cake.
