I started a kids worship CD to help the kids get going one morning. Maggie usually wakes up very well - happy and cooperative. In her sleep-drunk waking stupor, she blurted out; "It's God's birthday." and carried on with that for a bit. As I was leaving their room to allow them some wake-up time, she informed me; "We can't see God 'cause he's invisible right now."
It seems that at least every month or so, I go through a time where I'm just completely overwhelmed by my "to do" list and wish for nothing less than a day without children where I can concentrate on getting stuff done without the distraction of motherhood. At these times, I do recognize that a day is coming where I will miss the busy-ness of motherhood while simultaneously recognizing that today is not that day.
So, I was complaining again to my mom about this and wishing we could afford a day of daycare so I could have a day to myself. Jack piped up; "I want to go back to Deb's house." (Deb has a nearby daycare I've used on occasion) I explained to Jack that he would likely be bored as most of the kids his age would be in school, and he'd end up spending a day with a bunch of little kids. His response; "No I wouldn't. Maggie would be there and she's my best sister." Sometimes, they say the sweetest things .....
