我永遠都不會懷念這些日子

These are the days. I know this to be true. I'm reminded of it daily. My little ones are still babies, they rely on me for everything, they give me kisses and love me more than anyone else. And I love it, I do. And I know how blessed I am and just how wonderful this life is. So when people tell me to enjoy every moment, I smile and nod and say, I'm trying!

這些時光啊，我知道都是真實的。我每天都會想起。我的小寶寶仍是嬰兒，他們一切都會依賴我、會親吻我、對我的愛超過其他任何人。我喜歡這種感覺，真的。我知道自己有多幸運、生活是多麼美好。所以當別人告訴我要享受每一刻時，我會微微笑着說，我正盡力呢。

But the truth is that it's impossible to enjoy every single moment. Sure, I can enjoy the a lot of it, but there are also lots moments as the caretaker of two very young children that makes me want to lose my mind. And today I want to talk about those moments. And if you find yourself nodding in agreement, just know you're not alone. Some things are simply not to be enjoyed and I won't miss them one bit when they're gone. Not even a little.

但事實是享受每一刻是不可能的。當然，大部分的時候我很享受，但有時候我的確要瘋了，比如我要照顧兩個年幼的孩子時。如果你發現自己看到這裏的時候點了點頭，那你要明白我和你一樣。有些事情你就是享受不了，當這些事情不再出現時，我是不會懷念的，一點都不會。

1. Tantrums in the grocery store.

1. 在雜貨店發脾氣。

When you have a baby in your arms and a screaming toddler at your feet, knocking things off shelves or just lying there on the nasty grocery store floor, wailing away and refusing to get up, and you find yourself pleading with this tiny, completely irrational person and promising them candy or stickers or whatever the hell they like these days if they will just SHUT UP. You don't use those words of course, but you really wish you could. And the looks from complete strangers, the judgment, the eyes baring into your soul, as you wish you could shrivel up and disappear. Or even just lie down on the floor with your toddler and maybe become invisible? Yeah. Won't miss those.

當你手裏抱着一個嬰兒、腳邊一個剛剛學會走路的小孩兒撞翻了貨架上的東西或者直接躺在雜貨店髒髒的地板上大聲嚎哭拒絕起來時，你會發現自己正在哀求這個完全不講理的小東西，並答應只要他閉嘴就給他吃糖、給他買貼紙或者是任何他想要的東西。你不會說一些粗俗的話，但你真的很想罵人。完全不認識你的人，他們的表情、指指點點、直視你靈魂的雙眼，讓你真的想突然消失。或者直接和自己的寶寶一樣躺在地板上，是不是也可以隱形呢？是的，我不會懷念這些時光的。

2. Refusal to eat.

2. 拒絕吃東西

You know, when you make your toddlers very favorite meal especially for them because they won't eat what you made for yourself, only to have said meal (remember, this was their favorite meal ever!) pushed away with a stiff arm and tight lips.

由於你的孩子不會吃你爲自己做的飯，因此你特別爲他們做了他們最愛的飯菜時，他們只會用僵硬的手臂和緊閉的嘴脣推開這些飯菜（記住哦，這可是他們最愛的飯菜啊），你知道這些日子的。

3. Getting everyone ready and out the door on time for once, only to have a blow out as soon as you put your baby into her car seat.

3. 所有人都安排妥當，終於能有一次準時出門時，卻發現剛把寶寶放到汽車座椅上他/她就號啕大哭起來。

Then having to take her out and start the whole "getting ready" process all over again.

然後必須把她/他從座椅上抱出來，又得再來一遍“準備”工作。
