I was tired today after first causing a fender bender in the pre-school parking lot, going to a temp job interview, picking up the pre-schooler, making lunch, playing Candy Land with the pre-schooler, volunteering at “big kid” school for a couple of hours, picking up the big kids, making dinner, etc., etc., So I was sitting in the den watching a mindless show and zoning while the girls were playing in the dining room around the corner from where I was. I overheard Evangeline (7) say to Charis (3), “Tomorrow we only have a half day of school. And then we can play together every day over Christmas break!” Charis responded with an enthusiastic and happy sounding, “Yeah!”
