The sofa cushions are plumped and in their proper place; the kitchen worktops are clear of muck, grime and crockery; the washing line is empty and so is the ironing basket .....
a place for everything ..... and everything in it's place.
How BORING!
I can't remember the number of times when the little ones were, well, little ones, when I wondered if I'd EVER have a neat, tidy house ..... and now the little ones are big ones and making their own way in life, I have one.
And it ain't what it's all cracked up to be!
But oh ... how I'd love to see toys all over the floor again, to find Lego in places you never thought Lego pieces could hide, maybe even some Playdoh trodden into the living room carpet or kiddie plastic drinking cups on the draining board!
Those were the days ... gone, but not forgotten, but not really appreciated at the time.
Long live the Lego Building Brick!

Grandchildren! You need grandchildren. They can come and make a wonderful mess, AND they can go away and leave you in peace. Best of both worlds, innit.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to having grandchildren. Currently I have my very own 2yo and 8yo, and I confess to having those very thoughts today: Looking forward to when they're gone, so I can have a house that is finally clean and tidy and stays that way. But I know you're right, when it happens I'll miss them terribly.

Oh hang on, I just read your profile properly: You have a grand mouslet! Can't you persuade it to come and scatter Lego about the place every now and then?
