Tomorrow I’ll be better
I promise I won't shout so much
I promise to sit and read and smile
And not always be “in a rush”
Tomorrow I’ll be better
And not tired beyond belief
And when you ask to watch Peppa again
I won’t lie on ‘Mummy’s Bed’ and quietly weep
Tomorrow I’ll be better
Our lunch with be amazing!
It won’t consist of a ham sandwich, banana
And another pack of raisins
Tomorrow I’ll be better
I won’t moan about the washing up
And promise I won’t look sad
Tomorrow I’ll be better
I am going to give it a try
And when you’re naughty I’ll just roll my eyes
And not shout so much I cry
Tomorrow I’ll be better
You mean the world to me
I will forget about the silly rules
Tomorrow I’ll be better
And sniff your lovely tiny heads
And threaten to "eat you" for every meal
Tomorrow I’ll be better
And if I’m not perfect that’s OK
I’m trying to do the best I can...
...and tomorrow’s just another day*
*This post was written a year ago and sat in my drafts. It's truly amazing how much can change in 12 months so for all those Mum's thinking when will it get easier? One day? It just does.
Amazing! This made me cry, it's spot on!
ReplyDeleteAh thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteAww! That is just fab!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It does get better x
Thanks lovely! x
DeleteThanks for the post. I'll remember to revisit this next time I've had a 'need to do better' day. I always start out the weekends thinking how great it's going to be and it never quite goes to plan!
ReplyDeleteAh glad that you enjoyed it! I bet you are fab!
DeleteAhh this could be written by me. I feel like such a nagging dragon sometimes. I read a lovely post about the vow of yellibacy and chanting "I'm the adult" to my myself is working a bit. This week!
ReplyDeleteOh sounds like a real fab plan!
DeleteI hope you're right that it gets better. Lovely poem! I agree with it all except that mine get cheese sandwiches!!
ReplyDeleteIt really does get better! It's lovely now x
DeleteLovely poem xx

DeleteWhat a lovely poem and photos.
ReplyDelete(I think a ham sandwich, banana and raisins sounds like a very good lunch!)
Ha ha ha!
DeleteThis was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat bought a tear to my eye, as a lone parent who didn't choose this path my boy is everything I have no one to take half the burden I have loved stumbling across you & your absolutely honest blogs/vlogs & posts 😊 I also love the singing 🙈
ReplyDeleteJesus wept this is insane... Can't see through the tears..
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely poem. I don't usually like poems as they're a 'bit' too feely but you've hit the nail on the head. I feel like a crap mum most days and it actually makes me question whether I want another which makes me then feel sad about it. Great little poem anyway, thanks for clicking publish xx
