One Day...

My dishwasher will no longer be loaded with unbreakable-only dishes.

My laundry won't consist of grass-stained, chocolate dripped clothes.

My backyard won't be covered with balls and buckets.

My bathtub won't be filled with toys.

My living room won't need to be vacuumed twice a day.

My sleep schedule will be determined by when I want to sleep, not when the kids will let me.

My doorknobs and electrical outlets will not sport child-proof covers.

My dinners will not begin with "Do you think the kids will eat this?"

My walls will not be art murals by pint-sized, crayon-wielding "artists".

My car will not be family-friendly.

My date nights will not require a babysitter.

My trips to the store will be made without consideration of naps or meals, and will be made alone.

My ice-cream and chocolate will not have to be eaten in secret.

My bubble-baths will be long and uninterrupted.

And I will be sad, because this...

...is what I live for.
