There's a First Time for Everything?!?

My first time as a stay--home mom
in charge of house and cats
was all I ever had dreamed of
despite my furry brats!

I cooked and wrote and petted cats
just like I wrote the rule
of running my new-found home well--
we stayed in and played cool!

But soon that was just not enough--
I had to find some more
fun stuff that made me happier,
or I'd become a bore!

And so, I started freelancing
to pass the time away.
Soon, it became too addictive,
and it was NOT the pay!!

I wrote my articles for fun
but never had enough
to keep me busy and absorbed--
my schedule became rough!

So, now I have a fun business
to make me laugh and learn--
I'm writing furiously now;
my calling I've discerned!
