One Thing I Wish I Had Done.....

ModelMom's picture

There is one really simple, silly thing I wish I had done before becoming a mom. I have been thinking about this a lot lately....especially on my husband's days off. I wish I had enjoyed weekend mornings off in bed, drinking coffe and reading the paper. I know it sounds totally mundane, but I think I would have really relished that.

I think the next chance hubby & I will get to do that will be when the kids are 18 and off to college. I had a lot of great times before becoming a mom, but none of them were really all that relaxing...and if I had had even the remotest inkling about how extremely NON relaxing motherhood is.....I would have taken the time to smell some serious roses. *Sigh*

LOL! I have been thinking EXACTLY the same thing!!

My daughter goes to school next year. Sure, I'll have to get them ready for school, but on their first full day of school, I am sleeping all day. The next day, I am spending in the bathtub. The day after that, I will enjoy a string of Ralph Fiennes movies. After that, I am going to spend all day window shopping. And I'll wrap up the week by staying up all night. :D

And after that, I expect I'll have to get a job. lol

Hi Model Mom
Having been a parent for a while now I appreciate where you are coming from,maybe you can still enjoy the simple pleasures , like a cup of good coffee,in a quiet moment.
Trust me time will fly with two kids,when your new baby arrives.
Kids are a great pleasure in their own right
