Today I am sad because the sun is so lovely and I can't soak it up with my children.
Today I wish I wasn't a working mom.
Today I wish I could take the kids to the park and look at the clouds and blow some bubbles.
Today I wish I could go to the farmers market before it closes.
Today I wish I could wear my flip flops instead of high heels and not have to re-apply the lipstick after lunch.
Today I wish I could go to the library and pick up that Harry Potter book Brianna has been aching to read.
Today I wish I could start making Caesar salad fresh
from my garden before 6pm.
from my garden before 6pm.
And so... when I am no longer a working mom...
I will remember that wish and be grateful that I can
take the kids to the park and look at the clouds and blow some bubbles. and go to the farmers market before it closes.
and wear my flip flops instead of high heels and not have to re-apply the lipstick after lunch.
and go to the library and pick up that Harry Potter book Brianna has been aching to read.
and start making Caesar salad fresh from my garden at 5:59pm.
I won't take that day and that life for granted again.
Not ever.
