Today I will focus on the small.
At the start of every school year, there’s a lot of hustling and blundering as we try to find balance.
“Da, this sock’s too small!”
“Did I remember my book?”
“Ma, Where’s the hair putty?”
“Did you pack me a snack?”
And, this is just when the kids are back at school. Then about two weeks later, we all begin again when my love and I return to school.
“Love, have you seen my keys?”
“Da, I have a rip in my pants.”
“I’m on campus! I can’t find parking!”
“You forgot to pack my snack again!”
Yep. It is chaotic around here.
So, today, when nobody has to be anywhere, I will focus on the small things:
Late breakfast
The toy city we will build
Board game laughter
Book reading
Love
And I will be happy.
