"...I’m sticking a label
right smack on my mind..."
So, I have an idea I think it will strive I’m sticking a label right smack on my mind!
Attached to my forehead Clearly will state it "Loony", out loud for mom’s gone aphasic!
My husband will worry but will refuse or evoke knowing me, heeding me, with his 10 foot pole!
My children will react "You Crazy You!" The boys will crack up and give me a "Who?"
The girls of the older with arm over my shoulder Will ask me, "What’s that sticking stuck to my rack?"
The littlest one will want it on her But I’m thinking maybe I can start what a stir!
If I’m labeled a "Loony" no cooking I can "Out to lunch" in the kitchen might burn every pan!
The laundry I won’t Dishwashing I don’t Cause a "Loony" all wet a cold I could catch!
Stuck on my head "She Has a Screw Loose" "It’s no wonder!", You’d say "With those eleven to boot!"
I can’t drive a car No errands to run No kids to deliver No diapers to bum!
Yup, I be labeled a "Loony" and have me a blast! But don’t fret too much I know it won’t last. .. ‘Cause I tried this before a long time ago and to my utter wonder it fell to MY blunder!
For another time this happened and I labeled me "Loony" My husband got smart and labeled his "Puny!"

Well Kimmy it isn't going to work, especially since you belong to this zoo..er..den. There isn't a sane one among us and I dare them to say they are. Now as far as the puny goes, I don't think I'll get that personal. lol Loved the ending loony..er..Kimmy

This is a delightful romp into your imagination, Kimmy! If you're a loony, then I am a fruitcake! Very well done, sweet friend -- God love ya, you're a wonderful mother -- He doesn't give that many children to loonies ... a Christmas hug,

I don't mind being called a loony. It then gives me the excuse to do what I want because I am a loony. As a loony we can generally be who we want to be and no one will take any notice because we are loonies. I can jump up on a table and claim to be Burl Ives and start singing Ugly Bug Ball. No one will bother because I am a loony. Heh Kimmy, this label you have shared has put ideas in my head for Christmas. I think I'll be Scrooge for a bit!
Bearing eleven children in this politically correct era of two babies per household I'd say you're far from a loony, but I know getting a break now and then will lead you to take things into your own hands. Rant on wonder woman God is on your side.
