Some Day

Some day it will not take 20 mintues to get the kids pjs on and get them tucked in.

Some day it will not take 15 mintues to stop at a rest stop on the road.

Some day I will not have to change diapers.

Some day I will not have to change the sheets after accidents with pull ups that are on crooked.

Some day I will not be a human jungle gym.

Some day I will not hear "mama" all day long.

Some day I will not hear "mama" all day long.

Some day I will not get frequent and random cuddles.

Some day I will not be woken up by giggling and whispering outside my bedroom door.

Some day my kids will realize I'm not perfect.

And, hopefully some day the kids will want advice from mama. They'll want my shoulder to put their heads on. They'll want my hugs after an tough day. They'll laugh with me, discuss with me, and share their dreams with me.

Parenting is no easy road, but I love my parents and just enjoyed a wonderful dinner with them. Childhood is no easy road either, but I also love my kids and hope to enjoy all the moments I can with them...and the occasional wine cooler and chocolate chip cookie too.
