I went thru the house yesterday evening and marveled at the beauty in the 7 wonders of a kid free weekend.
To this mom these things were like seeing the Sistine Chapel and the Northern Lights, at the same time, while getting a massage by a monk who softly chanted calming mantras as he worked.
If you are a mom, you may believe these wonders are just rumor......tales that are told to mommies to help them go to sleep, but I am here to tell you they are REAL !!
I have seen these wonders with my own eyes.......it was life changing.
_________________________________________________________
The First of these wonders was: The floors.....they stayed clean ! I didnt have to sweep or vaccuum once.
I didnt lay eyes on a bottle of stain remover or a mop one.....the joy of it left me speechless.
Second: Noticing that after 32 hours there were only 10 dishes in the sink AND none of them had the dreaded dried oatmeal caked to the side, or an impossible to clean sippy spout contraption.
I washed dishes without the use of a scrubber OR a CSI kit! Can you imagine?!?!?!?! It was heaven.
Third: Was a toy free living room....I walked thru without the hindrance of sharp little toys stabbing my feet & I sat on the couch without fear of having to dislodge a talking doll, from my backside
Miraculous........just miraculous.
Fourth: The top to my kitchen table.....I could see it!
ALL of it, and there arent words to describe its beauty.
You would just have to see it to believe it......
Fifth: Hot food...... My motherly palate had forgotten the wonders of of taking a bite of food, and the warm flavor bursting over your tastebuds.
I wont lie......I cried a little.
Sixth: The sun rose before my eyelids did. The beauty of this was shocking at first. I laid stunned at the sight for several long minutes rejoicing at the peace it brought.
If you've never experienced it.......I would recomend putting it on your bucket list.
Seventh: There were adults on my TV.....living breathing humans that were past puberty, on my TV, for hours on end!!!
None of them had a map, a talking backpack, or required a arm shoved up their backside to talk.
I just sat and stared because words failed me..........
My experience with these 7 wonders of a kid free weekend were great, but there were equally as many wonders I missed dearly......
Perfect little hands to hold my finger, little arms to squeeze me tight, child like laughter, baby kisses, little thundering feet, endless "I love you's" and hearing precious voices call me mama.
Those wonders cannot be replicated or replaced.......so this mama is gonna go get my Greatest Wonders.
MY BABIES !!
awe :)
