With Them Wednesday….err….Thursday

I had great intentions of posting this yesterday (hence the title)…but, blogging has been shoved pretty far down on my priority list lately and I’m OK with that.  With that said, it is not my intention to quite blogging.  Nope.  But will I get more consistent?  Doubtful.  Why you ask?  Because of this…and this…But I do want to find the balance of spending time actually in the moments and taking the time to document them.  Part of that is trying to put in “With Them Wednesday” posts when I can.  Theme days seems to be popular in blog-land.  Actually, I think it’s been popular for a while but I’m not a big fad joiner…at least not right away.  And this idea I stole from a blog a while ago and I don’t even remember which blog it was.  But I do remember it and I thought it was a great idea to remind myself to get in front of the camera occasionally and not just point it…well lets face it (wow, I didn’t even mean to make that pun!)…mostly at my kids.

So here’s my first “With Them Wednesday”…err…Thursday….oops….and now it’s officially Friday.

I’m gonna miss this

Someday I’m going to miss the snaggle tooth smiles, and the countless questions, and the made-up bedtime excuses, and all the giggling.

Someday I’m going to miss make-believe, and imaginary friends, and spilled milk, and Candyland, and all the jokes about poop.

Someday I’m going to miss washing sand out of their hair, and giving magic boo-boo fixing kisses, and telling princess bedtime stories.

Someday I’m going to miss cutting up a dozen hot dogs, and stepping on army men, and noisy car rides, and dandelion bouquets.

Someday I’m going to miss matching dresses, and messy rooms, and constantly refilling the soap dispenser and TP.

Someday I’m going to miss falling into bed every night exhausted, and reading books that rhyme, and painting little fingernails pink and sparkly, and stopping to inspect every bug.

Someday I’m going to miss all this crazy.

And some days I have to remind myself of this when I think I’m going crazy.

Because this stage in my life is fleeting and I need to redeem the time that is given with my crazies/blessings!
