SOMEDAY...





Smudges. Fingerprints. Tiny cars. Messy Rooms. Smiles.
The other day I was having one of those moments - you know, when it seems no matter what I do it is fruitless. I was washing the dishes and looked over to the sliding door being COVERED with fingerprints. Why bother cleaning them? Then the thought came to my mind that "some day I'm going to miss it" Someday. So, these pictures are for the SOMEDAY.
James' little cars - which Will has got himself attached to also - and I tripped (and fell!) on one in the kitchen - I'll miss someday.
My girls messy bedroom with who knows what growing and candy wrappers all over - I'll miss someday.
The smudges, kisses, and fingerprints on the sliding door - no matter how many times I wipe it - I'll miss someday.
The smiles, hugs, and high decibals of noise ---I'll miss someday. This post is for that someday (which I really hope doesn't come TOO soon!)

It will be here all too soon, but you know, I think you'll enjoy the clean house!

I hate it that my kids are going to be gone in a short 5 1/2 years. I'm so thankful they are healthy and growing, and becoming their own person, but I miss the little tender moments.
I have asked Greg what will we do when they are gone, and he just says, "We will do what my parents are doing". Well~ that's NOTHING!! So, I guess my "Someday" will consist of nothing;)

Yes I "miss" too: Sally's unique way of going down the stairs, Tricia's playing the piano at 6:00 a.m., Johnathan going out in the middle of the night to check his sheep, Richard spilling his milk and hilarious comments and Jake laying in the middle of our bed. I miss my kids so much and treasure so many memories. The "best years" are when your kids are home, safely tucked in their beds and you can lay down your head knowing you really know what happiness is.

I hear you on that!!! I'm sad because I keep thinking in 5 years all my kids will be in school. The house, scrapbooks, etc. can all wait. Today we painted up some really messy valentines boxes. I was going to sand the table this summer anyways...
