From My Window

Up--6 1/2 hours sleep with no interruptions!
Down--crying baby, questioning toddler, and pot boiling over on the stove
Up--3 hour naptime with both kids sleeping
Down--wasting time on the internet instead of using the precious silence!
Up--preparing several meals for the freezer, to be shared with other families too
Down--using the computer as a babysitter to buy more time
Up--changing the baby into yet another adorable outfit
Down--6 loads of laundry in one day, thanks to all my "change the baby" habits!
Up--phone call from my sister
Down--snow in April
Up--moisture for my lawn and bulbs
Down--still unplanted garden
Up--hoping someone reads this post
Down--doubting anyone will read this post
Up--reading library books while Nathan cuddles stuffed animals from when I was a kid
Down--wondering if Katya should be awake, no asleep, no awake, no asleep
Up--singing "Only a Boy Named David" with Nathan
Down--getting "Only a Boy Named David" stuck in my head for two days
Up--tea with a friend after Nathan is in bed
Down--wondering if 5:00 and Daddy's return will ever come
Up--surviving and even enjoying yet one more day of life
