a dream that isn't really dreamy

but more of a sad realization of my reality.

i always dreamed of having a little spot in the house with an extra bed where i could fold laundry or prep Christmas presents. i never realized that it would come after half of my kids left for college.

now i understand that this extra space is not what i really wanted all along. a full house is much better than a partially empty full one. because this extra space isn’t all that it is cracked up to be, let me tell you.
