Some Days I Wonder What it Will be Like to...

Go grocery shopping without haven't to telling Ry to leave his sister alone, without a toddler throwing a fit (wow, I still have at least 4 more years of toddler hood), or feeling like I'm falling apart.
To go to the bathroom all by myself...
To clean my house without settling disputes and comforting a baby.
To vacuum and possibly even edge my carpet without holding a one year old.
To run errands without unstrapping and restrapping two car seats at every stop. I can't imagine how much quicker everything will be! I see myself running all my errands, do some shopping and even enjoying some hot spiced chai!
Then I realize that day will come - and all too soon! Because one day, my children will all go off to school. My house will be quiet and lonely. I will be able to do things without interruptions but without calls for Momma, kisses, and little breaks with my precious children. The thought that one day, we won't spend nearly every minute together brings me tears, so I will gladly accept all the challenges that come with today! I love my children and am so blessed by them!
