... is something I'd like to do once in a while. Being a busy homemaker rarely affords such a luxury. There is a slim window of opportunity some days between two and three PM for a little cat nap, but that old foe ... my alarm clock brings me back to the reality of parenting a special needs child with the afternoon arrival of the school bus. Some days I wish I could turn back the hands of time and be a carefree youngster on a lazy summer afternoon under the roof of my parents home.

I think...one day in the distant future...leisure time will be your companion. Don't you think so? Maybe?....smile
There is alway room under our roof for you honey - plan a time to come and be spoiled and be our little girl once again. I, too, wish I could relive some of those days when you were all ours. Daddy and I love and miss you.

Dear Mrs. Mac,
How sweet and caring your mother is writing.
I think she's right.You cannot always bean achiever,you also need to be a receiver.
Somehow finding some Maria time.
I'll pray that you may get a way to sit quiet at the masters feet.
These days I seem to meet lots of difficult situations.
I can but offer my prayers.
The Lord will grant relief.

Dear Mrs Mac I know the feeling too. Wish you rest in soul and body
When we're kids we don't appreciate the security and safety we feel with our parents. I have moments when I wish my grandma was still alive and I could curl up in her lap while she holds me. sigh

Your mother writes the most precious words. I would curl up in those words and take refuge.
I wonder which is more difficult: being so busy you wish for a little "down time" or being so exhausted you have nothing but! Hugs.
I understand the desire for something more simple. Hope you can find some of that soon. :)
I wish my mom could write nice comments on my blog. She would if she were still alive, she was sooooooo kind and to her I was the greatest.
She never saw the writing side of me after high school. Nor any poems either after I left home. Now I write a couple a week on my other blog.
I didn't mean to say all that but you and the other comments brought it out. I really wanted to tell you that you will have a chance again to be carefree on every afternoon. Just won't be a kid in body then.

I loved this little post, M&M. May God bless you on and on as He is now!
BTW, Mom died at age 88 in 1999. That was before blogs were invented.
