Afternoon Blessing


Once again, Emma refuses to go to sleep at naptime. How do things get so backwards?

Dream: A designated time for Mommy to lay down and close her eyes.

Irony: Emma is the one with the energy to wash the dishes, fold laundry, unpack more boxes, mop the kitchen, clean bathrooms...

Victory: Mommy's motivation to get stuff done has empowered her to outlast Emma's stubbornness in closing her eyes...

Blessing: Children...and a house to take care of...
