Sitting down writing for five minutes.....nonstop, no corrections, just writing.
My writing prompt is the word True.....here goes.
I can only see today and not look into the future. As my dishwasher runs and my husband and children sleep.....this is what is true.
Today, I watched my little red haired girl take a tenative step. I watched her scream when I wouldn't let her put legos in her mouth. I helped her up the stairs at the playground....15 times. Everytime when she got to the top she looked back and smiled at me with her two little teeth on the bottem.
I played perfection with a three year old.....for over an hour. You know the game where you put the yellow pieces in the correct places before the timer goes up and the board jumps all the pieces off onto the floor. After the 3rd time. I wated to quit. I didn't and looking back I'm glad that I continued to play because Eli loved it.
I walked to school and picked up two boys, who immedicatly jumped on their bikes and rode off without me. I thought to myself....why do I walk down here and pick them up everyday? But, I will go tomorrow and the next day even if they don't seem like they need me.
I wached my 9 year old help me cook dinner. He cut the potatoes and used the mixer correctly. He added the peas to the chicken and gravy and brought it to a boil. He was such a big help and I was surprised.
I waited patiently for a husband to return for work. 6:00 went by. 630 went by. I gathered the kiddos up and we rode bikes until he could come home. My boys light up when they see their dad. They jumped up and down and loved him. They held out their hands for oreo cookies and Grace made sure everyone knew she wanted one.
In all the busyness....I didn't get time with Bryan. I miss him and he is home. Looking forward to spending some time without the kids soon!
True all True

This is true for me as well. One day it wont be that way and we will look back and think of those times.
