This is what my house looks like...most of the time. To my embarrassment and frustration the house is messy in the background of most of my photos. I only have one little one who is mobile but the immobile one (for now) has her own way of contributing to the mess. I came across this poem the other day and thought I should get it tattooed on me. Well, maybe not a tattoo. Maybe I'll just settle for posting it on the refrigerator door (if I could only find a blank space among all the animal, letter and number magnets...) My little ones will only be little for such a little while.
Gone Not Gone
With the kids gone
I sleep in a messy house
That I may wake up
Within the illusion
not gone
From Mother time: Poems New and Selected by Joanne Arnott
A messy house is a sign that you are having fun. Enjoy the days, there will always be time to pick up when the kids are gone. It goes way too fast.
