God is Kind

Today:
Nigel said “please”.
And “thank you”.
With a smile.
After two hours spent screaming
except
when she was in my arms,
Anna slept FOR TWO HOURS
and woke happy
and didn’t need to be in my arms
for a whole, entire HOUR!
That’s three straight hours
of peace. 🙂
Malli came in snuffling
but quiet
and didn’t scream once the entire afternoon
and
moreover
chattered happily to me
while fingerpainting
FOR AN HOUR.
This morning
Timmy’s mother phoned to tell me
that she was staying home today
and keeping him
with her.
(Not that Timmy is any trouble
AT ALL,
blessings be upon his little bald head,
but one less baby is
that much less work.
On a Friday, no less!)

Thanks be.
I am grateful.
