I Dreamed a Dream

Please sing the following to the tune of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis!

There was a time when I would sleep

When no screams or cries

would wake my slumber

There was a time when I would unwind

And I'd relax

Resting was so amazing

There was a time

then it all was lost.....

I Dreamed a Dream in time gone by

when everyone could speak

and use the potty

I dreamed that I'd never get so annoyed

I dreamed that burp rags were a plenty

Then I was clueless and well rested

And dishes were used, washed and put away

There were no diapers to be changed

No tantrums thrown, no food wasted

But the children come all day

with their whining soft as thunder

as they tear your world apart

your dream's faint and far away

We use to be cool and much less lame
we'd see friends and go out after twilight
I use to be known by my first name!
But "Mommy" is all I am right now

And still I dream for time to read

And money to go on vacation

But there are purchases we can't forsee

And there are dreams that are not useful

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this one I'm living

So different now from what it seemed

Now life has tainted the dream I dreamed
