As sweet as it was to see my grandpa building Legos with my oldest brother, what caught my eye was the hanging on the wall. My mom had this on display in our home for many years. I think I have the words memorized:
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow
For babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow
So quiet down cobwebs and dust go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
This has been a good reminder for me this Christmas season when it seems the to do lists are endless. So if you are coming to visit us in the next few weeks, I will promise clean sheets on your bed and a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom, but don't be disappointed if you find dust on the shelves and dirty floors.
