Next Stage in Life!

My life seemed to change and swirl in a new way yesterday.

A strange, new thing happened...

ALL my children are in school all day!

(this is all of us before we got on the 'ole wagon!)

The day a young mother thinks will never come...

Through all the arranging of sitters for appointments

and running errands,

and wrangling time around nap times,

and never feeling you get a chance by yourself,

and...,

and...,

and...,

And now?

Well, I am not sure how I feel. I am happy with the stages they are in.

Of course until I look at their pictures from yester year.

But now are new expectations expected?

Do I have to have the house spic and span?

and dinner ready?

and lawn mowed?

and weeded?

and cookies baked?

and laundry done?

and...?

and...?

and...?

Really?

Will our expectations of unrealistic perfection ever change no matter what stage?

All I have to say is maybe I should study that one out, eat some bonbons and watch a good movie right before I take a nap!

WELL, DON'T I DESERVE SOME SELF INDULGENCE!?!?!
