| 'At Breakfast' by Laurits Andersen Ring, 1898 |
Some days seem more settled and in control from the get-go. This was one of them. Partly it's because I got a decent night's sleep---the first in longer than I'd care to admit. I guess it was because only one boy was out late, getting in from the restaurant at midnight and he got quiet soon after---ate his dinner and went to bed. There wasn't any nonsense with laughing and carrying on late from the others either. That was nice for a change. I like them to be happy, but earlier in the evening, if possible. :)
Took the three youngest on errands after our schoolwork was done soon after lunch. We stopped off at the library to pick up some astronomy books and then went to the grocery store for milk and a couple of other things. We're so ordinary. Nothing big and important---just plain living.
I like days like today---quiet, run-of-the-mill and refreshing. When there are too many things rubbing up against me, I get antsy. And this was definitely not one of those days.
