Mommy's luxuries

Wouldn't it be great to have these little luxuries once in a while:

* Warm morning shower without interruptions
* No laundry for a week
* Energy to finish a book chapter at midnight
* Phone conversation without whining or fighting in the background
* Everyone likes mom's dinner choice
* Homework voluntarily done with a smile
* Everyone finds their own socks and underwear
* Mommy can wear nice clothes that stay stain free for the whole day
* A mini-van free of toys, cracker crumbs and wrappers
* A day without hearing "I'm bored."
* Mommy can watch her TV show on the big TV during prime time
* Extra sleep, sleep, sleep

It's nice to have dreams :) Off to sort that heaping mound of laundry.

You'll get there Mommy! It's called empty-nest syndrome! :)

It's the laundry that gets me most! It seems a neverending cycle ;)

LOL. I made a list of things like this, titled it "Everyday Luxuries" and posted it on the fridge as a hint to the hubby.

One of mine was a shower alone. (my 4 year old can't stand when I take a shower so he usually comes in with me.) Also, a vacuum that works, things put away where they belong, a clean kitchen, (that I didn't clean myself) and the TV to be off more than it's on. :)

We can dream.

I'd take any one of those! But they're only little once so I try to enjoy every moment possible.

Lucia said...

Enjoy your monday!

Oh wouldn't sleep be nice.

Thank you for all of your kind words when you visit. I look forward to your thoughts and am glad we met in this virtual world.

These are little luxuries, aren't they? Sounds like a good roadmap for MOTHER'S DAY coming up!!

Becca said...

I second everything on that list!! I could also add a quite a few!!

OY tell me about it. The laundry is burying me!

The Write Girl said...

Awwww,

You deserve some sleep. You should enforce a mommy free zone in your home and set some time to yourself. I hope you get a few of these items on the list. : )

Michelle said...

What a great list. Although what about just a day without a minivan? You know... where you get to not be a mom for once? :)

What if you just got one of those a day as a Mother's Day present? What a great idea?

Oh that would be heaven...especially the extra sleep. Have fun at the parade tomorrow :). I have already been eating Irish soda bread...thick cut, slightly toasted with butter and tea! Happy St. Pat's :)

The same things would apply to dads as well.

Except for the shower thing, everything else would have to be modified for me (8 & 16 year olds), but the sentiment would remain the same.

Brandy said...

I have a teenager, but a lot of these things still apply. Actually for him and the hubs! LOL!

Well except I don't do laundry - the hubs takes care of that.

Thanks for stopping by!
