A Moment of Mommy Bliss

I figured I better write this down before the moment passes. Right now my house is completely clean. Carpets are vacuumed, floors are swept, bathrooms are clean, beds are made and closets are organized. Of course it's usually the opposite at our house so a moment like this really should be embraced. On top of that a 3-year-old is joyfully playing downstairs and keeping himself entertained while the baby is peacefully sleeping. I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee and it's sunny outside, but Fall is in the air.

I remembered thinking this is how it would be - being a stay at home mom. I'd have an endless amount of time to get everything home/child related done. Children would play nicely with their toys, the house would be clean (since I'm always here), meals would be always fresh and homemade. I'd never be overwhelmed with laundry. I may even have a chance to read all those books on my nightstand. The ones that will make me a better parent, financially intelligent, healthier, more centered, a better interior designer, oh and of course fiction just to keep me entertained.

Aside from the books, all I REALLY need to do today is empty the dishwasher, 4 loads of laundry, feed the baby, feed the 3-year-old, recycle, pick up from school, file 6 months worth of documents, make dinner...I feel my moment slipping away...
