It’s only Monday, Mr. Mom
Moms have the most important job in America! They are often under-rated, under-appreciated, and overlooked as an occupation, but my respect goes out to all you stay-at-home moms! And let us not forget to honor the single moms, who have a huge task in the challenge to raise up great people!
As a country music fan, some songs just resonate within me even during financial planning! Lonestar recorded a cute & oh-so-true rendition of the value of a mom. Lyrics below but please, do yourself a favor: google Lonestar-Mr. Mom then listen up & don’t miss his tag line; smile!
“Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and ‘that’s too bad’
She said I can go to work until you find another job
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom
Well…Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There’s bubble gum in the baby’s hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it’s only Monday
Mr. Mom
Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
And there’s that shopping list she left
That’s seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won’t eat my charcoal cake
It’s more than any maid can take
Being Mr. Mom
Well…Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There’s bubble gum in the baby’s hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it’s only Monday
Mr. Mom
Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn’t eat the classifieds
I’m gonna look just one more time
‘Cause…Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There’s bubble gum in the baby’s hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh been crazy all day long and it’s only Monday
Mr. Mom
Balancin’ checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don’t know is how you do it!”
Insuring a stay-at-home-mom is one of the most commonly overlooked issues in a family’s financial plan. There are plenty of studies and polls to prove this is a critical contingency to plan for, and usually very inexpensive to cover with term insurance. Click here for an article with more info.
