Thankful thing #16

Today, I am thankful for moments of calm.

It isn't very often these days that I have a moment to sit and just be. I don't really know where those days have gone. I used to think it was fairly chaotic when I was watching my sisters kids during the day, and merely shuttled kids around. During the day, I was able to do dishes, and laundry and other cleaning chores around the house. Now, working 3 days a week, I have found that I have no more free time. I am home, when the kids are home, and really not otherwise. I spend every moment at home trying to catch up with everything, on top of running the kids here and there. Tonight, I have a moment to just sit. So, here I sit on the computer enjoying the calm in my house. All of the homework is done. Dinner is over, and dishes are in the washer. Laundry is washed (though waiting to be folded - but I am avoiding). I am feeling no pressure to do anything that I don't want to do. Yay, me.
