Laundry Lessons

Yesterday as I was putting a dent in the mountain of clothes in my laundry room and fretting over yet another sports commitment for one of the children, it hit me straight and hard...

ENJOY every moment of their childhood...

I was reminded in a new way that "this too will surely pass..."

and all too quickly time will slow down and my laundry will be caught up....

and there won't be any baseball pants soaking in stain remover...

or ferocious smells of hockey equipment lingering in the air...

and there will be no leotards or adorable tiny tights scattering our wooden floors...

So ENJOY these moments!!

Cherish the smiles and the trophies...

Enjoy the recitals and the tournaments...

Treasure time as a taxi-driver, because it's time with them...

....the laundry can wait!!!
