My husband has asked me several times what I want for Mother's Day. I would like to take this opportunity to tell him what I do not want...Here we go...
I don't want to be peed on, pooped on, drooled on, spit on, barfed on, or sucked on. I don't want to have to stand while eat my meal over the sink. I don't want to eat cold or partially reheated food. I don't want to be interrupted when I am in the bathroom. I don't want to have to change diapers. I don't want to have to wipe dirty hands and faces. I don't want to have to do dishes or laundry. I don't want to have to pay the bills. I don't want to have phone conversations interrupted. I don't want to have to get up on time. I don't want to have to do anything I don't want to do.
I don't want to have to wait to hear "I love you" from the kids because they are too busy playing. Matter of fact...I don't want to have to wait for hugs and kisses either. I don't want to have to share my kids' time with anyone but my husband. I don't want the kids to be crabby or difficult. I don't want to have to drain the bathtub water because it is too cold to keep playing in the tub. I don't want the kids to be sick.
I don't want the weather to be crummy. (okay that's a super hard one to achieve!) I don't want to have to reheat my coffee three times because I keep having to do something. I don't want to watch the same cartoon for the 500th time--could we at least watch a different one?
I don't want you or the kids away from home. I don't want to be interrupted during my shower. I don't want to have to jump up and get the kids when they start crying or wake up from a nap.
I don't want this to last any longer than 24 hours because I love being a mama and everything that goes with it.
