A Real "Ode" to a Slacker

I got an email from my mom today. Apparently she thinks I don't post enough.

Of course, I do have a sick child. We survived the Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease...we weathered through 11 days of vomiting and diarrhea...only to face plant into an upper respiratory viral infection. Sooooo...back on the steroids and breathing treatments.

Of course, I have been working a lot, too. I will have 34 hours this week--so much for "part" time employment. But, the money is good and we are trying to get ahead a little bit. Thank goodness my wonderful Mom is willing to baby-sit extra every now and then! Luckily, her overtime charges are less than mine!

So, even though my mom knows I have been working--and has been the one mainly taking care of my sick kid--she sends me this:

Oh slacker, oh slacker
We sit and we wait.
Oh slacker, oh slacker
Why are you late?

We love to be current.
We love to know.
We love to be current.
You are so slow!

Oh slacker, oh slacker
Your blog must be new.
Oh slacker, oh slacker
What should we do?

We love to be current
To know what you think.
We love to be current.
Your blog is our link.

Oh slacker, oh slacker
Reform your ways!
Oh slacker, oh slacker
Please start today!

We love to be current.
What can Caden do?
We love to be current.
We are counting on you!

So slacker, oh slacker
We beg you today!
Oh slacker, oh slacker
Please change your ways!
Thanks, Mom!
