Mama Mama, Valentine Drama (inspired by the Llama Llama series ;))

There’s love in the air – or so it’s been said,

But for mommies out there, hearts fill with dread.

 

Get on Pinterest for the perfect Valentine pun,

Need a nap, but have to make a candy run.

 

This year we’ll make our very own cards,

On occasion, mommies too can be bards.

 

Our cards will say: “There’s no one Elsa like you,”

But, good sense prevails – Target to the rescue!

 

Head to Walmart for the best Valentine deals,

Make heart-shaped pancakes for family meals.

 

Volunteer myself for two crazy class parties,

Make teachers batches of Ghirardelli brownies.

 

Candy negotiations ensue that night,

When did Valentine’s turn into a fight?

 

Gone are the days of date nights and roses,

Exchanged for sticky hands and runny noses.

 

But I can’t complain one tiny bit –

Because with cupid’s arrow I’ve been hit!

 

“I love your hugs, kisses and cooking,” writes the boy,

Making this mommy’s heart jump for joy!

 

The girl gives me a keychain with her thumbprint,

Way, way better than any fancy box of Lindt.

 

She declares she loves me more than lollipops,

Just for that I’d say – Valentine’s Day is tops.
