- that four loads of laundry would finally get folded after days of sitting right outside the dryer?
- I'd be in the mood for a yummy dinner, get out a cookbook, before I get to open it, go to tend to my baby, and three days later wonder how the cookbook got on the coffee table, and off it's shelf?

- bags I brought home from the hospital with me are still waiting to be unpacked and put away?

I wouldn't trade it for the world. :)
