my days haven’t seemed to calm down.
i vividly remember lazy days with my kids…hanging out till whenever in our pj’s, late breakfasts, morning walks, taking our time and enjoying life.
kids get older, school happens…and then you go back to work. lazy days seem no more.
there is soccer on the weekends, hebrew school on sunday’s, ballet, basketball in the fall, birthdays parties…it never ends. never a dull moment. no more lazy mornings. no more lazy days…it all running all the time.
pick up from school and go there…get home 10 minutes before dinner. realize you defrosted a pound of meat yet there is no time to do what you wanted with it. and then this happens…
you remember that can from childhood. the one they served for school lunch but it was always covered in a layer of fat so you ate french fries instead. the can your mom never let you buy no matter how many of your friends were eating it. you craved going to that friends house because they ate it. their mom made it. your mom made tofu patties (no offense mom, your tofu patties rocked). you get over it. but that can always stays with you. that can. that can…
