Words and music by Mary Rice Hopkins, a "Heart to Heart" mom in Southern California
I juggle as a mom but life goes on and on
And I struggle when I wear so many shoes
First a wife then a mother then a sister to my brother
And I struggle just to juggle all I do
And I struggle when I wear so many shoes
First a wife then a mother then a sister to my brother
And I struggle just to juggle all I do
I'm a technical director and a child protector
I book the social calendar and juggle all we do
Don’t ask me if I'm working cause a mom is always certain
That I struggle just to juggle all I do
I book the social calendar and juggle all we do
Don’t ask me if I'm working cause a mom is always certain
That I struggle just to juggle all I do
At the mall I'm a hiker with my kids I am a biker
And I drive a taxicab in between
I’m a chef I’m a cook who has time to read a book
Can you microwave my Lean Cuisine?
And I drive a taxicab in between
I’m a chef I’m a cook who has time to read a book
Can you microwave my Lean Cuisine?
I’m a household technician a dancer and musician
A psychoanalyst but that’s all right with me
Don’t ask me if I’m workin’ cause a mom is always certain
That I struggle just to juggle all I do
A psychoanalyst but that’s all right with me
Don’t ask me if I’m workin’ cause a mom is always certain
That I struggle just to juggle all I do
Well I go to PTA and the YMCA
Downtown to my C.E.O.
Oh there I go again to my OBGYN
I’m a soccer mom at AYSO
Downtown to my C.E.O.
Oh there I go again to my OBGYN
I’m a soccer mom at AYSO
I’m a M.O.M. , a D.R. and an R.N.
And If I’m acting like a mess they call it P.M.S.
If you added up our wages you couldn't even pay us
And you would confuse the IRS
And If I’m acting like a mess they call it P.M.S.
If you added up our wages you couldn't even pay us
And you would confuse the IRS
But I’m a woman I’m a lover I’m Proud to be a mother
I must confess nonetheless sometimes I need my rest
That’s why when we juggle we need to stop and snuggle
Cause the job of being mom is just the best.
I must confess nonetheless sometimes I need my rest
That’s why when we juggle we need to stop and snuggle
Cause the job of being mom is just the best.

Note from Lois: Ladies, do you ever feel like a "Juggling Mom?" I know we all have at one time or another. If you want some really great songs on audio tape, CD or video for your children, as well as for yourself, check out her web site below! I came in contact with Mary Rice Hopkins because I wrote to a radio program where I heard her song, "Juggling Mom." This lady really has song-writing talent and I know you will agree! Mary does concerts and I had the great privilege of attending one on the East Coast as well as a seminar.
Mary has recorded many albums of original music. In addition, she has published wonderful children's books and interactive curriculum materials. Visit her website at www.maryricehopkins.com to view or purchase from her full line of music and curriculum.
