Here I am at home alone! I didn't think it would ever happen. The children are in school (elementary, middle, high school,and college). The others are at work and it is quiet.....even Max (the dog, is sleeping).
Our house has always been so loud this seems strange......... now I am thinking back to when I named my house (affectionaely) " The Zoo".
Many year's ago, I tried going to a bible study......I thought it would be great to get out and learn how to live this "christian life".
The study was good, but afterwards, I was trying to catch my two year old run-a-way in the church lobby, juggle my one year old holding my hand carry the huge diaper bag while waddeling my VERY PREGNANT body with little (actually NO) success!
An older woman must have seen my MOM look.............you know it, and even that wasn't working to rally in two year old Ryan. She approached me and said Oh, honey enjoy these days............welllllll.....................I won't tell you what I was thinking (after all, I was in church) .
I finally captured Ryan and just stewed at the audacity of that woman! Now 23 years later, I would LOVE to find that lady and thank her for her wisdom as I reflect fondly, of those crazy days that happen in a blink! She was right and as I think back I do enjoy those days......... and it will be the advice I will give to others, too!!!!Enjoy the little things...........they are tomorrow's memories!!!!
