"Well, I'm off to my new job. Behave you four." Ally pointed to our three kids, Jake, Sam and Kate, then me.
I chuckled. "Come on babe, there my own kids, I should be able to handle them."
Ally gave me a look that said "Mhmm" then closed the door behind her.
Lost my job
Came home mad
Got a hug and a kiss and that's too bad
She said, "I can go to work until you find another job"
I looked towards my kids and smiled. They giggled and ran off towards the kitchen, me following behind them. "Okay, first we gotta get dressed, than have some breakfast, than it's time for school."
I go to pick up one of my children, but they all run away from my grasp, causing me to laugh again. "Come on guys, it's not funny."
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom
I continued to chase them all around the house, until I finally caught my little Kate and pulled her into her bedroom. I sat her down on the ground, walking over to her closet and pulling out a cute little pink and yellow dress. When I turn around, she's gone. I groan and dash out of the room and around the house again.
Well, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast and six, naps at 9
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. Mom
I hear giggling from the bathroom and I open the door. My two sons are playing with my shaving cream, smearing it all over the bathroom mirror. I groan once more, picking my boys up and cleaning the cream off the window. "No more silly – "
Again, they're gone.
Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in scouts and P-T-A
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
I glanced down at the note on the living room coffee table. Ally wrote down certain instructions and things we needed from the store. I hear more laughing from the kid's toy room.
How much smoke can one stove make?
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any man can take
"Come on guys, it's just a little crispy." I handed them some burnt chicken nuggets. They all scrunched their faces in disgust. I was never a good cook. Afterwards, they jumped off the chairs and ran around the house once more.
Well, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. Mom
I collapse on the couch, groaning and tilting my head back. I hear more laughing and giggling from the basement and I head down that way. The little ones are underneath a box and I sneak up behind them. I open the top of the box and exclaim. "Boo!" Sadly, it's an empty box.
I look towards the stairs and there they all are, then they make a dash for upstairs. I quickly follow them.
Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time.
"How does she do this?" I ask breathlessly. I pause for a moment, trying to catch my breath, hearing more laughing from upstairs. I roll my eyes and run upstairs. They're all jumping on Ally and I's bed, Kate with her teddy bear in hand. I walk up beside them and try to catch them. They slid off the bed and ran out of my reach.
'Cause, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum 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
I'm finally able to capture my crazy toddlers and round them up. I sit them on the couch and put in a Disney movie. I sit down in between them and watch as they fall asleep.
Oh, Mr. Mom
Balancing check books, 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
The door starts to open and Ally appears, glancing down at our children who are currently asleep in my lap. We both smile and she sits down beside me.
"How was it?" Ally asked, caressing Jake's hair.
"It was crazy." I chuckle softly, than feel Kate cuddling in closer to me.
"Ally,"
"Yeah?"
"You're my hero." I smile and kiss her lips gently.
So, what do you think? Cute? Funny? I found it very, VERY entertaining to write. I do not own this song or the characters, well, maybe Kate, Jake and Sam. But Austin and Ally, I do NOT own. Oh, by the way, the song is Mr. Mom by Lonestar. :)
