Unused toys...

The amount of commotion which runs through a household with children is astounding. When things get crazy, it is natural to ask yourself, "will I ever get a break?"

Then, a downtime period comes. Naps, playdates, whatever.

You look around at the quiet house and you see the playroom strewn with puzzle pieces, lego blocks, stuffed animals, etc. and you think..."one day, my kids won't be playing with these anymore. They'll be grown up and even out of the house and the room we'll be neat."

While the thought of a neat room may be nice, the thought of a house empty of children isn't. And you feel rejuvenated. Ready for whatever is to come next (or so you think!)
