Yester is a day

I never thought I would let my boys watch Spongebob, but of course I have lowered my guard, and now they are in love with a talking sponge, and a starfish as smart as a kitchen table. But I am not going to complain, as at one point I LOVED sbsp. Way before I had kids! Before I didnt have to worry about finding a babysitter so I can spend time with my husband. Before I had to pack extra clothes, Pull-Ups, assorted cups and toys. Before I could walk in my house with no shoes, and not almost break my foot on a lone Lego. When I was able to lay in my bed naked, when I could cuddle with my husband, when I could eat breakfast at noon. Gone are the days when I could do an impromptu shopping trip at 2am. Gone are the days when I could eat fast food, and not have to worry about it sticking to my tummy. Gone are the days of having a tiny waist and large brain. Now my waist is big, and my brain is small. Now are the days of "Mommy I love you". Now are the days of slobbery kisses, strong bear hugs. Now are the days of character underwear and bright colored clothes. Now are the days of endless chicken nuggets and cups of milk. Now are the days of fighting, nonsleeping, and not wanting to take a bath. Now are the days of mommy giving in, and kids winning over. Now are the days that one lessoned learned is a life time lesson. Now is the day when rainbows arent just pretty colors, but one of the biggest fasinations ever. Now are the days of Power Rangers, Dinosaurs, magic coins, treasure boxes, and baby monkeys. Now is the day of learning colors, shapes, names, reasons, family, sharing, caring, loving and fighting. Now is the days field trips, sick days, and art work. Now are the days of jumping in the mud, and not realizing how long its going to remove mud from the tub. Now are the days of endless love and endless wondering. I do belieive these are the days that I want.
