winter

It's soon over, right? Please? I really can almost not take anymore being stuck in the house with lots of kids any one of which could be crying, whining, melting, or mess-making at any time.

We have had TWO days of sun in a row and it is staying lighter longer which is helping my inertia slightly.

Certain small things have been threatening my sanity lately and I'm not sure what the solution is yet. Move faster? Wait for my 18month-old to grow out of the phase where she enjoys emptying out a drawer and climbing inside it? This as we are trying to get out the door to drop two off at preschool so I was zipping three other zippers!

Or perhaps taking the two seconds to put the chocolate mix away before going to put the baby down for a nap since the 3 year old promised to stay in room but did this instead...

And then she said, "That's what children do when you leave chocolate milk out." She was eating it with a spoon!!

I am prescribing 20 minutes of sunlight, afternoon caffeine, and a huge dose of humor for myself...

Tomorrow is a new day with new messes to clean
