If you give a stay-at-home momma too many days of summer break (a blog in 2 poems)

POEM 1
If you give a stay-at-home momma too many days of summer break (coupled with cool, cloudy weather that precludes going to the pool), she'll look for things for the kids to do.

If she looks for things for the kids to do, she'll probably end up suggesting crafts.

If she ends up suggesting crafts, hers kids will be gung-ho at first.

If her kids are gung-ho at first, they will soon begin whining.

If they soon begin whining, the momma will probably end up doing the project all by herself.

POEM 2
If you give a stay-at-home momma too many days of summer break (coupled with cool, cloudy weather that precludes going to the pool), she'll look for things for the kids to do.

If she looks for things for the kids to do, she'll probably end up scrounging around in her craft bin.

If she scrounges in the craft bin, she'll find some old crayons.

If she finds some old crayons, she'll probably break out her mostly unused embossing tool in an attempt to be all pinterest-y.

If she gets out her embossing tool, her 5-year-old will be entranced for hours.

If the 5-year-old is happily entranced, she will continue to cut off crayon wrappers with an exacto blade.

If she continues to cut crayon wrappers off with an exacto blade, she will probably cut her fingers.

If she cuts her fingers, she will say, "I'LL BE SO DAMN GLAD WHEN SCHOOL STARTS!"
