I’m coming at you from my phone. In bed. After a long, draining day. Family visiting which makes it harder for me to get computer time anyway, but on top of that? And a newborn and a toddler? We had a plumbing emergency today that involved panic, stress, gushing water, the utility company, a plumber, and the temporary loss of my sanity. All seems to be well now, but in those couple of hours when the dogs were barking and the kids were wailing and there was talk of replacing the entire water line out to the street, I hid in the bedroom with my babies and tried to think of some good aliases for when we ran away to Mexico.

We napped until it blew over.
