Learning from my kids

The kids are making forts today. As I carry a load a laundry through the room, I stumble over blankets, pillows, and the worlds that they represent. I need to be reminded that everyday objects like the cushions on our ugly couch can be transformed into magical kingdoms, that food tastes better when eaten in a small dark home created by little hands, that the laundry can wait.

Laundry CAN wait, can't it. I've had to re-learn that lesson a thousand times and a thousand ways in my short "mom life". Thanks for reminding me again.
