How Do I Love My Tiny Tyrants



It's funny, one of my daughters favorite books right now is How Do I Love You, Let Me Count the Ways by Marion Dane Bauer. What is funny is in my world instead of

How do I love you
Let me count the ways
I love you as the sun
loves the bright blue days
I love you as the bee
loves a fragrant flower
I love you as the thirsty duck 
loves a sudden shower
 
in my world it reads more like

How do I love you
Let me count the ways
I fight traffic for you
each and every day
 
I skip breakfast
I eat on the run
I get up at 5:30
Just to get my work done
 
I clean up toys
morning, noon and night
I even try not to complain
about the lack of sleep at night.
 
How do I love you
let me count the ways
There are more and more
each and every day.
