i think i can, i think i can….

I am a stay at home mom so my days are the same all consumed with the children, not a lot of “me” time. The “me” time I have consist of the two hour period , right after the kids fall asleep and I crash on my pillow. I don’t get out as much as I should, although my husband will disagree. I am sorry grocery shopping is not “me” time no matter how much he does try to convince me otherwise. I’d give anything to have his quiet one hour commute everyday, listening to whatever music I want- peace, oh sweet peace. “Me” time would, and occasionally consist of me sitting somewhere drinking a cup of coffee and reading anything without pictures. I truly cherish those small moments, and it does break up the d`ja’ vu of the day.

Back to that moment where I am changing that umpteenth million poopy diaper. Although I can not wait to change my last diaper, I know I will miss those few minutes of giggling with my girl. Yes it has all been done before and for a little while longer my days will go on the same. It is hard to appreciate these d`eja’ vu days. I know one day I will long for my kids to stay in the nest, wish I had someone to go grocery shopping with or dread having coffee by myself. So I will wake up tomorrow and appreciate those moments of sameness because with children it doesn’t stay the same for long, yes this to will pass.
