I miss the days when I could go to the bathroom....without someone banging on the door, or just walking in unannounced.
I miss the days when I could take a bath...without a two year old either wanting to get in with me or play in the bubbles.
I miss the days when I could talk on the phone...without either someone crying or wanting to talk on it too.
I miss the days when I could get something to eat...without someone trying to pick off my plate.
I miss the days when I could just get up and go...without having to get two little ones dressed, fix a juice cup, fix a bottle, make sure the diaper bags are full, grab both po-po's(pacifers), and load the car with all essentials..even if I'll only be gone for 30 minutes.
I miss the days when my husband and I could go out on a date...without having to try and find a sitter at the last minute.
I miss the days when I could wear black...without spit-up stains staring back at me.
I miss the days when I could watch TV....without it being on the Nick channel.
I miss the days when I could sleep all night...without waking to a hungry baby or a crying 2 yr old.
I miss the days when my hubby and I could have "ahhmm, free time"...without a two yr old walking in on us.
On the other hand...
I don't look forward to the day when I am crying...and I don't have a little one there giving me hugs and asking if I'm "k".
I don't look forward to the day when I go to sleep at night...and I don't have a little one saying "Nite nite, laue (love) you, see you in da mornin."
I don't look forward to the day when I sit down to watch TV...and I don't have a little one climbing up in my lap to watch with me.
I don't look forward to the day when I have an "owie"...and I don't have a little one saying, "Aww, Momma, boo-boo. I kiss it."
I don't look forward to the day when I can just say "Hi"...and I don't have a little one laughing at me.
I don't look forward to the day when I wake up in the middle of the night....and I don't have a little one laying right "underneath" me.
All in all...
I don't look forward to my kids growing up and moving on...without me.

A Boy with Autonomic Dysfunction - The Miller Family
Our Special Life
Oliver was born after having suffered a stroke while in his mother's womb. The resulting brain injury is called Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction). His doctors believe the stroke was the result of the miscarriage of his twin. Oliver is completely blind and his underdeveloped brain stem makes basic physical functions a challenge. In spite of all this, he is a happy, go-lucky, 12-year-old boy, and his mom wants people to meet the real Oliver, not just his medical hardships.
