Someday
April 12, 2007
Someday, I won’t have to hang my purse from the hook on the back of the door to keep little girls from smashing my lipstick all over their faces and the carpet.
Someday, I’ll be able to drink a hot drink on the sofa without worrying if someone is going to do a flying leap next to me, sending hot coffee all over my lap and the upholstery.
Someday, I will put an object down somewhere. And I’ll come back later and it will still be there!
Someday, I’ll not have to keep nail polish, keys, pens and glue under lock and key.
Someday, the car windows, fridge door, and my pants won’t have peanut butter fingerprints all over them.
Someday, I won’t have to pay for library books that had pages torn out or written on.
Someday my bras won’t all be milk stained yellow.
Someday I’ll be able to sleep past 8 am.
Someday I’ll be able to run errands. Quickly. Without bribing everyone with steamed milk from Starbucks.
Someday I’ll sit around and think about all this and be just a little. bit. sad. about it all ;-)
Because someday my girls will have their own lip gloss and won’t need mine.
And I won’t need coffee when there’s noone waking me up at night.
And objects don’t really matter that much.
And I’ll miss the fingerprints.
And I won’t have anyone to read stories to.
And by the time everyone’s weaned I probably won’t even need a bra because my cups will no longer be runneth over.
I try to think of these things when all those little things threaten to stress me out.

Got something to say?
I loved reading this Carrie. Life can seem so stressfull when we have children sometimes, but I too know someday the house is going to be too quiet and I’m going to close my eyes and travel backwards to my somedays
Carrie,
This is something that should be framed and on every mom’s wall. The first and last thing we see when beginning and ending our day.
Thank you Kari for letting us know about this post.
Carrie – your post made me cry. My daughter is now 16 and she does have her own lipstick now … my kids are a bit older – I must admit – I miss reading to them at night … I miss holding them in my arms until they fall asleep … they grow up too fast.
Thanks for sharing!
It is nice to be reminded of those things when we get stressed and to hear that we are not alone.
The time certainly has flown by and my youngest and last baby is approaching 4 yrs old soon.
I have nice white bras ,but you are right not much to put in them now
Gosh, this made me sad. lol Mine are so young, but it made me think of missing them.
