A Mother's Perspective on Winter Vacation's End

Vacation’s over
Boohoo!!
It’s back to school
Boohoo!!

Backpacks ready
Early to bed
Five children’s hearts
Are filled with dread

Up in the morning at the crack of dawn
The kids awaken with a choral whine
“I think I’m sick, I think I’m dying!”
Mom’s response: “Get dressed, you’re fine.”

The house is finally quiet
The school day has begun
Mom’s having coffee
And her own kind of fun

Because…

Vacation’s over
Woohoo!!
It’s back to school
Woohoo!!
