Pleasantly Grounded

My feet are hurting; my sanity is nowhere around. I'm exhausted; three kids tucked in their beds not making a single sound. I love my family so much, but by six o'clock in the evening I'm wishing they'd all hush. Once it's quiet, I know without all of them I'd still put up a fuss. As tiring that it is, I know if they weren't here I'd never turned my life around. My feet and legs are always in motion, yet these kids keep them on the ground. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, I don't get paid in cash. My reward will always last. Natalie, Nadia, Dillon, and Kevin; they are my priority. Without them I know I'd sink real fast.
