and i watch the microwave clock go from 4:40 to 4:55 to 5:05......
until i must--absolutely must-- begin to boil the pasta and heat the sauce
and put the rolls in the oven
i know i will look back on these moments with fond memories.
even as i type these words
i'm remembering all the kisses i put on her cheeks
and suddenly
well, it just doesn't seem like the inconvenience
i was tempted to think

Laurie, this is so sweet and so true. I love your perspective.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post!
ReplyDeleteI love being a mom too :) I like the beach picture!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Laurie! Dinner will always be there ~ our babies won't :(
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it while u can. It feels like I just had my kids yesterday. I dreamed of being a Mom. I use to say when I grow up I want to be a Mom. Now my kids are in 4th grade & 7th! The oldest wants to be with friends not Mom so treasure these memories with your kids!

ReplyDeleteyou're cute. totally get the clock watching/must put pasta in. tick tock... one day we'll miss all of it. and we'll only be able to eat pasta because we'll have no teeth. enjoy it now, girl! ;) xxoo
ReplyDelete9.5 minutes out of 10! Great pictures you captured and keep on smothering them with kisses and they'll never think you're weird when you do it when they are 14. Well, kinda... ;)
