Will I?

As I've said before....I'm so extremely sentimental and when I start to get discouraged about something, I try to remember why I should be grateful instead of discouraged. As I sit and ponder things that I don't particularly enjoy right now, I wonder.....will I miss those things so much in a few years? Will I?

Will I miss waiting in the carpool line full of inconsiderate parents?

Will I miss picking up toys and shoes and pajamas off the floor every day?

Will I miss helping my kids make their lunches and sometimes making them for them?

Will I miss washing my little girls' oh so long hair, so I can make sure it gets good and clean?

Will I miss Cal's rigid, 20 minute, bedtime routine that is not in the least bit flexible?

Will I miss all the trash in my car?

Will I miss the food remnants on top of the trash can lid, because they forget to remove the lid before dumping their plates in the trash can?

Will I miss McDonalds?

Will I miss doll clothes and shoes buried deep in the sofa?

Will I miss the tune to Thomas The Tank Engine?

Will I miss the texts from Addi that say...."I'm ready to be picked up! Wait, no I'm not! Come to the carpool line. No come to the field house." ?

Will I miss the gazillion notes I get from the schools each week reminding us of this and that or asking us for this or that?

Will I miss the unmatched socks that turn up in the clean clothes?

Will I miss the many pleas for "just one piece of candy"?

Will I miss being a taxi service?

Will I miss the constant reminding them to brush their teeth and hair?

Will I miss their stinky shoes?

Will I miss the bickering that only occurs between siblings?

Will I miss all this stuff? This stuff that is not my particularly favorite stuff right now.

I can honestly say....YES I WILL!
