One day.....

One day....
My house will be decorated how it is in my mind.
I won't have baskets of laundry hanging around everywhere.
I will play on a tennis league every week.
I'll get to take piano lessons again.
I'll remember my friend's birthdays.
I'll reply to emails every morning when I'm alert and at my wittiest, instead of when I'm half asleep on the couch at night.
I'll organize and label things better.
I'll read more of the classics, prominent biographies, and my scriptures without falling asleep.
I'll return phone calls.

And I know everyone tells me just to enjoy this space in my life.... but it's hard not to look to the future when I may have more free time for myself.

One day......
I will miss a toddler falling asleep in my arms while I rock her ("Mommy, rock you me" is her request).
Kisses from my girls.
My row of little ducklings following me around the store/ house.
Chubby little hands seeking mine.
