during the Fall Festival at Logan’s elementary school yesterday.)

I’ve been missing a lot of my former hobbies recently… well, actually I’ve been missing my current hobbies as well.  We haven’t had time to do anything except take care of children and keep the kitchen and laundry clean (the rest of the house has gone to sh*t).

What I’ve been missing:

  • Playing video games (in particular, playing EverQuest with Matt until all hours of the morning)
  • Learning Japanese
  • Having manga laying all about the place
  • Snuggle lie-ins with the hubby
  • And innumerable other things that come with being young, in-love, and child-free

But I know that, in a few years, my list of things that I miss will look like this:

  • Nursing my children
  • The children’s very cute and inventive use of language as they learn (ie. Lily currently says, in her very cute little girl voice, “Look what my did.”)
  • Snuggling next to a warm, cute baby
  • And innumerable other things that come with having small children

And then I will have time to learn Japanese again and play video games and snuggle with the husband again, but I’ll miss all the wonderful things that came with having small children.  I try to remind myself of this fact when I’m longing for the things that I just don’t have the time for now.
