This Is The Lord's Day

How true this is...

This Lord's Day
I arose at six
prayed
showered
nursed the baby
fixed breakfast
dressed
ironed my husband's shirt
bathed the baby
dressed the baby
found my husband's watch
curled my hair
changed the baby's diaper
answered the phone
put on some makeup
stuck a roast in the oven
packed the diaper bag
grabbed my Bible
dashed to the kitchen for
Linda's casserole dish,
ran to the car and
strapped my little angel
into his car seat,
he vomited all over
everything, including me
and my only ironed dress.
Oh yes, Lord,
I shall remember this
Sabbath Day.
However, I must confess,
I am completely stumped
on how to keep it holy.
