I need to load the dishwasher and bake bread and water my dying houseplants
But I can't
Because I'm rocking my baby.
I need to can tomatoes and put away the laundry and sweep the filthy kitchen floor
But I can't
Because I'm nursing my baby.
I need to vacuum the living room and dust my neglected piano and take a shower
But I can't
Because I'm smiling at my baby.
I need to scrub the toilet and weed the garden and pick the beans
But I can't
Because I'm reading to the boy who used to be my baby.
I need to can the peaches and make some pickles and plant some spinach
But I can't
Because I'm snuggling with my babies.
