Dear Repeat Button

Dear Repeat Button,

Yes. You.  You know who you are.  You are stuck or something.

Because I'm on repeat.  Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

See?

For example.  Let's take yesterday.  I vacuumed floors.

Today.  I vacuumed floors.

Yesterday: I washed Elsa's nightgown.

Today: I washed Elsa's nightgown.

Yesterday:  I read Goodnight Moon.

Today:  I read Goodnight Moon.

Yesterday:  I wiped toilets.

Today: I wiped toilets.

Are you seeing the pattern here?  My days are on repeat.

But somehow, I'm just fine with all that repeating.  Because it means I get to kiss the folds of little necks.  Every single day.  And it means I get to yell out, "Have fun at school today!" as I watch little bodies step out the door to find themselves.  Every single day.  And it means I get to recite Goodnight Moon for the thousandth time.  And it means that I get to listen to giggles behind closed doors.  Every single day.

What's going to happen when you're not stuck on repeat anymore?  I'm a bit concerned.  What will I do when I'm not completing the same Frozen puzzle that I completed yesterday and the day before and the day before that?  Whose lunches will I pack?  Who will I put princess dresses on?  Whose shoes will I pick up?

So.  Go ahead and stay on repeat.

That's all.

Stay stuck for now,

Jamie
