My Favourite Things

Lyrics written by Desiree, sung to the tune of Julie Andrew's "My favourite Things"
A sudden inspiration to summarise my life this year as I move into the last month of my 12-month leave and into my birthday month. (1 Dec 2010)

Early in the morning when the warm sun rays shine in
Kids crawl into my bed and cuddle beside me
They kiss me one by one and say "morning!"
These are a few of my favourite things

Drive to McDonalds for breakfast and bonding
Hotcakes and mcmuffin and a cup of hot coffee
All the chatter and laughter and the smiles
These are a few of my favourite things

Dip in the pool downstairs with such convenience
Bagful of toys and shooters sprawled all over
Kids swim around in their rings and arm floats
These are a few of my favourite things

When the kids fight
When the kids cry
When I'm feeling vexed
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Steal time in the afternoon to meet my Dear
Go to Ikea to eat their chicken wings
Best part is coffee and parking are free
These are a few of my favourite things

Fill our tummies and browse the display in-store
Dream and fantasize about our next dream home
Sofa cabinet designer kitchen
These are a few of my favourite things

Shopping and movies are once-in-a-blue-moon treats
Facial and pedicure make me feel oh-so-pretty
Coffee and gossiping enhance friendship
These are a few of my favourite things

When the maid slacks
When she talks back
When I'm feeling mad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Kids sleeping soundly and hugging their bolsters
With looks of innocence they dream their night away
I slouch on the sofa and watch drama
These are a few of my favourite things

Internet surfing and Facebook MSN
Online shopping and email and some blogging
Reading papers and Simply Her magazine
These are a few of my favourite things

When the bills come
When I kenna summon
When I'm feeling scared
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad
