Just now

I've had a hard time working on my Relief Society lesson all week. The neighbor kids are coming in an hour so I can watch them. The house is a disaster. The past several days have been really discouraging. But just now I'm sitting on the couch, the door is open to an absolutely beautiful day, Kate and Daniel are in the backyard playing in the water table, and for some reason I feel a unique calm.

... Seconds after I finished writing that paragraph, Kate dumped a container of cold water on Daniel's head, he started crying, Kate ran to hide, Daniel came crawling toward me across the cement, dripping wet and freezing cold.  Kate ran back to him once I'd picked him up to pat him on the head and say "Sorry Baby Daniel Oden Cornish!"  Such is the calm of life right now - short and sweet.  I'll take what I can get :-)
