Get Organized Just Enough to Please You.

Don't I Know You?

You’re,

Probably in your jammies or you slept in workout clothes 

You’ve got “rooster” hair and raccoon eyes and you don’t smell like a rose 

 

 

 

 

You played Candy Crush Saga until midnight, or one

It’s amazing how the time just flies when you’re havin’ fun 

 

You’ve got eight loads of laundry to wash and to dry

Appointments to make and groceries to buy  

 

 

 

 

Your kid missed the bus and was late for his class

You’re thankful that thoughts about home schooling pass

 

 ‘Cause if YOU were in charge of the lesson plan

You’d end up with a guy not knowing a damn  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your car’s in the drive-way ‘cause the garage is full of stuff

Someday you'll learn when enough is enough 

You’ve got dishes from dinner and yesterday’s lunch  

Your checkbook reveals a financial crunch

 

 

 

 

 

You’ve got every book written on the subject of order

To the point that you’re starting to look like a hoarder

 

From Kondo and Cilley to Martha and me

You just can’t decide what’ll work perfectly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So here’s my suggestion, get a shower and dress

Fix your hair, a little make-up and don’t leave a mess  

 

Then look at your calendar on the square for today

Decide what’s for dinner, make your bed and go play

 

Not on the computer, get outside and get air

The Internet stuff will always be there

 

‘Cause today needs YOU in it, YOU’RE what life’s all about

Don’t try to get organized, just do it and get out             

 

Love,
