Once upon a time

I used to have cushions on the sofa

The stairs were for climbing...

...and not sliding.

Once upon a time...I slept in late, had chocolate cake for breakfast (at lunch time), left the house with only a wallet and car keys, did laundry once a week, enjoyed weekly soaks in the bathtub with a good book and sat down on the sofa without a thought as to whether or not the cushions were there. Every now and then I miss you "once upon a time", but today is not one of those days.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone
