Seriously are you kidding me? When does it ever stop? I always think okay today I will get a chance to do something other than laundry or the dishes and when the day ends it always ends the same. Now don't get me wrong, I am not complaining because I know that it is my choice to do the laundry and make sure the dishes are done. I know I could chose to ignore the everyday tasks at hand and do what I want to do. BUT. And there is always a but. There will be consequences. Such as I wake up in the morning and no coffee is ready for me and I have to try and make it with blurry eyes and crying children. Or I realize that the only item in my closet that fits me today is in the washing machine soaking wet. SHIT.
But, and again there is a but, there is always a moment. Sometimes just one or sometimes many that make it all worth while. Such as my little boy being able to run at me so hard to give me a kiss that he knocks me over and we laugh (and he has clean clothes on b/c I washed them last night!). Or my little girls says Momma I love you. And the memories of the mundane fade away.
Another example is tonight. Prior to sitting down with my lover - aka BLOG I was baking cupcakes for my daughters halloween class tomorrow. She does not know I am making them and I can picture how excited she will be. She always gets so pumped. Like last night. After dinner her daddy decided to take just her out for ice cream. She started jumping up and down screaming - whoo Hoo!. Who knew ice cream could be this great. But for our Lizzie it was!
The mundane sucks but they make the special moments that much better!
(Well a consistent glass of wine every night is still a welcome commodity.)
