I'm sure you can imagine why:) This post made me smile. I can so relate to that feeling of not accomplishing anything. I know logically that things have been accomplished (laundry is at least washed, sometimes), but it's not the same as checking off the check list. Haven’t been around in a while . . .

And I'm listening and pondering. We are flip-flopping about being outnumbered by the precious angels, but not planning to decide for a little while now. And I'm tired just thinking about it. You are amazing! You are Director of Development for three humans soaking up and building their little brains. Chin up, young person! I’m smiling. And I’m listening and pondering.

I can't manage two aged felines. I never imagined myself as a mother but admire the heck out of you. Amazing is all I can come up with. Of course, they are all genius children so that must and will be a challenge but they have two parents and grands and all and sounds like your productivity level far exceeds your auntie who works with books and photos and attends meetings. Will that last? Only the objects. The humans you are tending will contribute more than what many of the childless do not. Still time to tackle global warming, world hunger and the peace process when they are in pre-school, eh? You are a wonder. I can’t manage two aged felines.
