When My Kids Grow Up..

Hello Faithful Readers! Yes, I know it has been a long while since I have blogged. I promise I have started many, and just did not finish them, or felt it was best not to share them at that time. And now this site did something new, to where I can’t post pics like I used to, so I gotta figure out what is up with that. Soooo.. School has started; all my kiddos are finding their groove, after a long and lazy summer. No Summer Vacation for us, just could not pull it off financially. Which leads me to my topic for today.. The Things I will do when my kids grow up and move out.. Sleep.. Yes, I will be able to sleep in, instead of getting up at 5am each day for cross country practice, basketball practice, meets, etc… And not worrying what time the kids are coming home, and if they are safe, and no more 1 am talks when the teen decides that is the best time to share.. Laundry.. (the real laundry people) with it just going be me and the hubby, I could actually get away with doing laundry once a wk, and maybe even just 3 loads, verses the laundry every other day, and about 14 loads a week. Clean House.. Yes I do make my kids help with cleaning, I am one of THOSE MOMS, and proud that my kids will move out knowing how to cook, clean, do laundry, sew, and iron. But I look forward to cleaning house and it staying that way. No reminders being yelled across the house to pick up shoes, socks, t-shirts, dog poo each day.. Mommy Mobile… Ohh I am dreaming of the day I get to buy me a cute little car, and not spend over 100 on gas each week. Vacations.. Trav and I want to do so much!! See the world, and we will finally be able to do just that, and it just be us.. Good Employee.. I will be able to go to work each day, and not have to go in late or call in because I have a sick kiddo tossing his or her cookies. I will finally be able to be the good employee that my hubby has been all these years.. Bathroom.. I will get to go pee, and shower, and get dressed, and put my make up on, and not be disturbed. And find things the way I left them, instead of asking my girls if they took my brush or tweezers etc.. Apparently we have an open door policy in my bathroom..lol Food.. I will be able to know there is always water and my cokes in the fridge, and that the box of popcorn is not empty, and that cereal box is full,.. Peace and Quiet.. No more name calling, and playing referee, and hearing shot gun and them running to the car, and no more watching these weird shows with horrible acting. Or the fighting over who got more Xbox time, or computer time, and who took the trash out last..I am thinking LMN channel all day long. Life sounds quite lovely, right?! But who am I kidding,. I am trying to convince myself that this is something to look forward to, but this year when I dropped my baby boys off for their Junior year, and my sugar bear for 7th grade. I realized my mommy days are going by way too fast, yes I will always be there mommy, but they wont need me so much when they move out and I am gonna miss my little people so very much. And life like it is right now, with laundry and messy house, empty food boxes, and playing referee and driving the big SUV that gulps up my gas, is what I love, and I am so blessed that God chose me to be their mommy.. And I would not change any of it for all the money and sleep in the world. So parents.. Treasure each day, even the rough ones.. They are more precious than you will ever know..
