It is March again so what can I say?
It is a sunny and bright warm day.
Back at work, the kids are back at school,
We return to following life’s same old rules.

With mornings of meeting people discussing their wellbeing,
The kids are both happy and on Thursday’s my son has swimming.
The first week he went and just sat by the pool,
Refusing to get in, too scared of not looking cool.

We walk through our lives all hoping for the best,
Some of us rarely stopping to take a rest.
Finding time to stop, even for a cup of tea,
So important for all of us, for you and for me.

So today I really need to tidy our home,
The kids will not help, won’t tidy their rooms.
Today is a day for the washing and ironing,
The sun has gone in and soon it might be raining.

We also have homework along with the vacuuming,
The kids are quite happily, in the front room playing.
Sitting here listening to the washing machine,
Round and round it goes, it works like a dream.

I need to move, time to motivate and be productive,
However, I’m struggling today to be constructive.
So much to do , so much to plan.
As life repeats itself again and again.

Trying to keep on top of all life’s issues,
Being mum highlights all of its struggles.
From nagging about homework, ensuring they do their reading,
For life is all about the knowledge and learning.

So here we are, we are now facing March weather,
The year is racing by, as the wind it blows the pretty heather.
Looking out the window, looking at my garden,
It’s looking like a jungle, the flowers and weeds are growing.

Sitting here now the kids are playing with Lego,
Playing quietly but it really makes the time go.
Trying to get them to do their homework, drawing and writing,
Looks like mummy will have to stand over them.

An afternoon will be spent, sitting in the kitchen,
Working hard and ideas we will be pitching.
It’s hard as mum to be the chief motivator,
Trying to motivate and be a good elevator.

Trying to lift and promote a child’s confidence,
It’s hard to do and they are so independent.
Working and praising, using the right words,
I find this often really very hard.

My kids are great but oh they are so hard,
But then easy would be boring , I wouldn’t play my part.
Working and supporting, trying not to nag,
Though feeling I shout too much, don’t want to be seen a hag.

So to all mum’s and dad’s I’m sure you do a great job,
The stress of raising kids and being you, it is a great long slog.
Through all the tears we go through and all the times we shout,
Our kids will always give us something to talk about.

So now we are in March, it will soon be April,
Bringing with it chocolate, the kids will have their fill.
Thinking of Easter bunnies and the beautiful spring time,
Our hearts may fill with comfort and rhyme.

March again as the year races on,
Very soon this March will be over and gone.
So on with today and on with today’s duties,
Wishing to you all a good day! and all mummies and daddies.
