Today was a good day with the girlies. What day isn’t good with four little girls? What I loved about today, I can’t really remember. We were together; we played; we worked; we learned (short vowel sound words and blends for them, patience for me). Gracie was as hilarious as a two year old should be; Hope was sweet, and old, and thoughtful, and a little out of control as she tried to make sure she was still worthy of attention. Sophia was Sophia. Mckayla made me wonder more than once if she was going to climb or flip out of her crib. I was exhausted and thankful when it was time to say goodnight.

I don’t deserve this job. Maybe blogging will help me remember that.

Ordinary things make me feel safe and real. That’s why I loved today.
