This has been a very nice, quiet day. Rainy too, and that always makes me feel more settled. Got up late (as I planned), had my tea and gradually the rest of my brood got up. I encouraged middle daughter to go back and snuggle down, and she tucked into our bed until mid-afternoon. Sometimes the world has to be kept at bay while we recover from whatever life throws at us. Seems, here lately, life has thrown more than we can handle, so we adjust.
We were so tired after working at our friend's house packing boxes yesterday, and today has been a wonderful break. And even when we got back from her house, I told one of the kids that I'm always so relieved to get back home after leaving for a bit. Doesn't have to be long, just enough to make me yearn for our house. I actually get desperately hungry to be home. Such a relief to walk in the door again.
Anyway, that's life here. Quiet today, a tidy house, and will take a few of the kids out later on for shopping. One has a Target need and I'll be chauffeur. Nothing pressing (which is a pleasant change of pace) and all is well. Least mostly so.
