Dreaming of simpler days

This weekend was slammed full of events. Friday night, we had a baseball game. Saturday at 8 am we had a baseball game. Saturday afternoon we had a baseball game. Saturday evening we had a baseball team party. Sunday, Sawyer had an ice skating birthday party. We had to remind ourselves to breathe.

As a very busy adult and parent to three young kids I find myself remembering back to those boring, slow moving Sundays. Particularly the ones I remember as a kid where there was no one around besides my mother and there was NOTHING on TV. (Not that I would have chosen what we watched, anyway) There was no where to go because nothing was open and I would wish the day away, waiting for the next school day.

While I enjoy keeping us busy, I do wish for quiet days every now and again. Days where there are no parties or games, no prior engagements or errands to run. Seems like there are always haircuts to be had, groceries to buy or dry cleaning to pick up.

You know what? I wouldn't change any of it. However, I will still look forward to the boring weekends that will come about when the boys are grown. I will not wish away these crazy days because they will be over far too soon.
