This day …

This day …
 
• Began a full hour before I even got to sleep (which was 1 a.m.) because the baby had been crying and whining since 11 p.m.
• Continued on a rough path when D cried out at 3 a.m.
• Felt impossible when the baby was up again at 4:30 p.m.
• Had already completed exhausted me when she cried from 7 a.m. on
• Got even more overwhelming when a snowstorm kept Darling Husband from arriving home from work on time this morning
• Continued to get more hectic when everyone in the world decided to return my (really important) work calls, all within a 30-minute period (in which I was alone with the kids, and not exactly in my quiet office)
• Makes me (almost) wish I was escaping to a real office where I could work in peace for the full day
• Meant I didn’t get to take the kids to our weekly playgroup
• Brought on disappointment that we couldn’t all go out and see our friends
• Meant that the baby was incredibly cranky and didn’t nap
• Is really tiring
• Is kind of REALLY chaotic
• Is making my throat tighten up
• Has given me a headache
• Has many more hours of writing/editing left in it
• Is hard, but I’m trying to stay focused on what matters
• Is still a good day
