10 Things...

I often get told by "people who have been there" to treasure this time with my young kids and that one day I will miss the things that seemed so bothersome now. Well, I have created a list of at least 10 things I am positive I will not miss.

1. Wiping the pee off the toilet seat, back and floor every time I want to use it and several times in between. (Boys)

2. Doing the laundry for 4 very messy people, Little or not. (For the hundreth time Your shirt is not a napkin or a tissue. )

3. Tripping over or stepping on someone elses belonging that were left right in the middle of the walk way.

4. Nah uh....... Yah huh...... Nah uh...... Yah huh........YAH HUH....... NAA UH......YAH HUH.......

5. Mom he's bothering me, ....... MOM he's bothering me......MOOOOMMMM HES BOTHERING MEEE.

6. Cleaning up pee in places other than the bathroom.

7. MOOOM I went Poop!

8. Cleaning bare bottoms that are older than 3.

9. Hearing " I'm not hungry, I have a tummy ach, I don't like it. " at the dinner table only to be asked for something to eat moments after the table is cleared.

10. Washing clean folded clothes that got scooped up into the laundry basket because they never got put away when you sent them to put away the clean laundry.

Now least any of you think that I am not enjoying my children and realizing how fast time flies, I have a list of 10 things I know I will miss and treasure them, even if I have to hide it.

1. How small the fingerprints on the window of every room and car are.

2. Someone needing me in the middle of the night because they had a nightmare.

3. Kissing the owies better even if I had told them to stop before someone got their eye poked out.

4. Washing tiny little baby clothes, (Already miss that one.)

5. Watching my children gobble up dinner and say.... That is the best meal ever. even if it was store bought pizza.

6. The funny way they talk when they don't really know how to say a word. (Dick Donalds and Heckitocker)

7. Watching them learn that they really can do something that they didn't think they could.

8. Them wanting to sit on my lap and play with my hair.

9. Singing bed time songs.

10. Knowing exactly where they are when it is 10:00.

Ok I could probablly list more than 10 if I thought about it, but I could probablly make myself cry too, and that was not the reason I started this entry. Time is going by so fast and I know it and sometimes I wish I could slow it down, but really Can't they at least wipe up after they hose down the toilet that I have to sit on?!!!?
