if i had 'em

if i had 'em

i'd have a live-in maid
i'd have live-in laundry service
i'd have a live-in cook
i'd have a live-in diaper-changer
i'd have a live-in nurse
i'd have a driver and a stretch suburban with built-in carseats
i'd have a house with vacuum hoses leading right to the trash outside
i'd have a house with sound-proofed cribs jack-n-jill style (watch hgtv folks)
i'd have a yard with a baby pool with no bugs...ever.
i'd have a swingset, sandbox--no---scratch that (i hate sandboxes), treehouse and trampoline
wait.....wait....wait...wait!
i was a live-in maid...still am?
i was a live-in laundry service....yeah----still doin it.
i was a live-in cook....not as much...but can still throw down with bobby flay (really, people...food network!)
i was a live-in diaper service...only when my babies come with their babies...and its one of my favorite jobs!
i was a live-in nurse (dr mom!)....mostly over the phone now
i was the driver of a suburban---and it seemed to stretch....not so much...mostly a toyota corolla
i took the diapers out...thats what we have ace for.
i lived in a 3 bedroom house....no soundproofing---just really solid sleepers....now we have 2 guest rooms....and its very quiet...which is very nice...and just quiet.
baby pools....i took the bugs out....no mosquito farm here.
swingset, fort, trampoline? check, check and check.....gone, gone, gone.

i am a mom.....the only one i would take off the list....hmmmm....taking the diapers out...definitely.

best part of an empty nest is when the chicks come home.
