To have your heart reset when you turn on the car because the radio blares full blast, the windsheild wipers screech on and the hazard lights are clicking.
To watch crackers dipped in water and savored like manna from heaven.
To rediscover fingerpainting, gelatin, and the magic of...measuring cups.
To have dinner made, the laundry done, and the house clean...but never simultaneously. (Believe me, I've tried...it's one or one of the others.)
To dread that the next 15 years will go to fast.
To dread that the next 15 years will go to slow.
To finally have a GMO, MSG, FD&C, HFCS, and partially hydrogenated oil FREE pantry!
To clean the target in the bathroom.
To wonder if my children are getting enough of this and that or too much of that and this.
To cut your foot on sharp gravel while holding your braless chest from bouncing into tommorow as you run down the street chasing the garbage man's truck to question why his driver once again refused to take your garbage.
To have no appetite... whatsoever.
To scrub the bathtub spotless so that it's worthy to clean precious dirty little hands and feet...
To have an emergency evacuation of the tub and then to scrub it again. *sigh*
To envy those perusing the non-fiction adult section of the library.
To envy other mothers who can check out more than three items (waiting for proof of residence).
To roll down a long grassy hill and watch the clouds spinning at the bottom.
To wonder if another car seat will even fit in my car.
To feel like its a miracle that there is even something edible on the dinner table.
To see hidden disappointment in the eyes of your spouse when he wades through the toys and sees that the kitchen he shined last night did not stay clean.
To be SO homesick my heart literally hurts.
To spend a week building Halloween costumes that will only be worn for a mere three hours.
To keep on keepin' on...and lovin' it.
