There is something that has always bothered me. When someone older, and supposedly much wiser tells me how much I will miss these days and to enjoy it while you can. These days meaning when all your children are home, little ones to love and mold and shape. Days filled with laughter, love, companionship. Maybe that is true, but what about days filled with this.
This is what most of my days are filled with, laundry, laundry and more laundry. Throw in some dishes, plugged toilets, back talking teenagers, and sibling fighting. That pretty much sums up a typical day. I can not really believe that I will really, really miss all that. Is the mind such that it really allows you to look back on years past and remember only the good. I hope so, I don't want to be a bitter old women in the rest home reminiscing about the days when I had to fold laundry all the time. I try hard not to resent, all that I have to do, I know it comes with the territory, and that it will get easier. That is what I look forward and I will not say to my children enjoy it while you can it will soon be gone. I will say enjoy it now so you will be able to enjoy it even more later.(p.s. these clothes were all clean and I did get them folded and put away before bedtime).
