Today is tomorrow

Kids can be trying. They are impatient, silly and make an organized, scheduled life unravel into tiny shards. They throw up just as you are hurrying out of the door for yet another kiddo birthday party. And yes , as you sit through another princess or pirate themed party (mommies , get thinking and be creative )with the ridiculous pinkness or pirate-ness while your tots bawl or throw cake , you long for a glass of Chardonnay and brunch.

With a wistful and woeful sigh , you slump your shoulders for the madness of being "kidless". Oh, that dramatic spontaneity of taking off on trips , movies and nothingness.

But then your heart prods you just so lightly and pulls back to the beauty of innocence as your daughter petulantly asks , when is the playdate,Momma ? Tomorrow. Is today tomorrow, she says ?

Today is just beautiful . Princess themed parties notwithstanding.
