in the craziness of being a mom, sometimes i just need to stop and appreciate the small moments of fun and sweetness. like today. between dishes, laundry, shuttling one kid to a friend's house and leaving the door open for the other kid and his neighbor friends to come and go, baking stuff, etc, etc, i never had time for a shower. or even to get out of my pajamas. no big deal. it happens all the time. so when i finally go and try to sneak in a shower at 4 pm while the little boys are out playing in the backyard, i am not quite quick enough, for as feared, i get this little knock-knock on the bathroom door: "mommy, can we have a snack? can we have some drinks?" Soooooooo i have to quick throw something on and race downstairs before the little guys make a huge mess of the kitchen.
this is "something":
just makes me laugh, how i can go downstairs like this, and with these guys still so young, they don't give me a second look as i hand out the juice pouches and cookies. in a few short years, when they've become budding young men, i don't think i could do this.
sigh. gotta appreciate kids while they're young.
just a speck along the mommy memory lane.
