once upon a time...

I used to think i was SO busy in life...
changing diapers, cleaning toilets, doing laundry, holding a calling, volunteering in the classroom, taking kids to the dr., baking cookies, shopping, etc
That was just a warm up. You know the stretches you do before you start exercising? That is exactly what that part of my life was...A warm up!
i love this part of my life where my kids are older & independent. They can feed themselves & hopefully soon transport themselves as well. This is the best part of my life...busy..
When I go to work for 5 hrs a day I feel like i am at the spa. Because from 2-9 everyday..I am running. basketball, wrestling, band concerts, dr apts, " Mom i forgot my shoes!", scouts, etc
Nope the house gets put on hold..but, a good cleaning on Friday-sun..if we are not doing bball.
Soon they will all trickle out..then it will be just david & i..& of course..a child might come calling home on occasion. Will we even recognize each other? Like 2 strangers that pass in the night now.
This is really the good times in life. Being engaged in what your family is doing. This is temporary..I keep telling myself  as I pour the diet Pepsi down my throat each day.
I will keep exercising every day..& enjoy the journey because one day I may just be sitting around the (clean) house wondering what everyone is up to.
