Cinderella Syndrome

The Cinderella syndrome is prowling here today.  Everyone needs something done I'm pulled in countless ways. The dishes they are stacking clear up to the sky the laundry's nudging second as to which stack is most high. The vacumn sweeper's overstuffed and burping blobs of dust that go dancing in the air all filled with wanderlust. The refrigerator's taking a most needed rest and I will be two hours just cleaning up that mess. Three teens running to and fro make a dashing path consuming food and beverages like this meal is their last. I'm fighting crowds of yellow bees that are striped in black they've taken harbor in my house the dog he needs a bath. My also single sister has Joe at her beck and call for me there's no Prince Charming and I think I missed the ball. She says Joe's always at her side I guess I have to laugh, I'm followed by my indoor bees and the dog that needs a bath.

Additional Notes:
This all happened in one day. Laughing at yourself is good therapy.
