So I decided I am going to put my life on hold a sec and tick off one challenge at a time until I am all caught up and everyone is crisis free.  Then laundry and dinner and library books and diapers can resume as scheduled. Sounds like a plan to me!

Yeah, I know.  It was a delightful, if impossible, fantasy.  Likely the diapers and laundry and dinner are what keep a person sane during challenging times anyway.  It's that here.  Nothing insurmountable.  Some rather large like national security threats, some rather small, like figuring out how to set up the girls cell phone. Many in-between-ers like trials back home and pinkeye which just made itself known in this house. All of which take up considerable chunks of time and brain cells. 

So I am here wiping and calling and driving and diapering and thanking God I am able to do it. And looking forward to the next reprieve. Those are coming in little spurts making all the rest possible.  When they do, I will check back in here.
