Mothering Many

I have reached a point in my mothering journey where I feel like i can leave the oldest child in charge for a few minutes while I run to the corner store or take care of some needed task. Now, you would think that the best part of this for me would be the ability to get out of the house with dh now and again, and I admit that is wonderful. But the part I am really enjoying is the ability to have deep and detailed conferences with the shower faucets whenever I want, so I can wash my hair early in the day and I don’t have to go to bed with wet hair. When you have hair like mine, these little things mean a lot.
