1. Going to the loo and taking a shower without an audience
2. Having an uninterrupted conversation with the hubby during daylight hours.
3. Been able to clean the house and enjoy it been clean for longer than an hour.
4. Not having to do a full wash load of washing every day.
5. Taking my time eating my dinner.
6. Spending a whole day or weekend completing crafts or creative ideas that never get done.
7. Been able to purchase pretty things for the house again, without the risk of them getting trashed.
8. Going 4 hours without changing a nappy.
9. Drinking a cup of tea while it is still hot.
10. The children mastering the use of quiet indoor voices.

ReplyDeletebut my mother always told me..."be careful what you wish for"... :)

I totally identify with ALL of these! Especially the cold tea and the shower/loo audience - in fact I call it the "staff meeting" .. ha ha - seriously, it feels like I wrote the list myself! Was great to meet you briefly the other day btw:) Jenny
ReplyDeletewow. i dream about all those things too! Oh, and watching adult TV or reading a book during the DAYTIME. wouldn't that be nice? One day our turn will come Anna, and then we will look back on these posts and wish we could just change one more nappy....
ReplyDeleteand too soon so many of those things are gone and you are left with an empty house during the day wondering where on earth all those years went!!! Enjoy the gorgeous smell of your newborn while you can... enjoy the endless questions while they are still simple... enjoy the laughter of your babies... and know that they never truly master the use of their quiet indoor voice!!! Love you.. xx
