Someday.....
I will be able to shower without someone crying at the door, or at the curtain, or clinging to my legs.
I will be able to plan outings with kids without considering nap times, or snack times, or tantrum times.
I will be able to pee without people watching.
My house will stay clean for longer than 5 minutes.
I will be able to grocery shop by myself before 10pm.
I won't hear someone asking for food or drinks every 10 minutes.
The kids will be able to find their shoes without needing help.
My car won't have ground up crackers in the carpet or smell like old fries.
I won't have to buy fruit snacks in bulk.
I will be able to sit through church, doctors appointments, or a even a television show and actually hear what is being said.
I won't have to watch Disney Junior.
I will nap without the consequence being an entire box of cereal spilled on the kitchen floor, or a crayon-scribbled wall.
Life will be slightly more relaxing and I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Yes, this "someday" will come...and sooner than you think. Except for the whining for food and the needing help finding shoes (those 2 seem to never end!) I am living in that "someday." I'm not gonna lie...it IS nice. But I miss those times as well. And of course as one set of problems fades into the background, others take their place. Teenagers are no picnic either. I would take a 2 year old tantrum any day of the week over one of the fights I have with my 11 year old daughter or the battles over media time with my 13 year old son. So it doesn't necessarily get "easier" -- just different. But you will be able to pee, nap, and shop in peace. And that is saying a lot!!!
Strange how dreams change after becoming a mom. What luxuries you describe! I too hope for someday.
