My kids distract me

posted in Just life |

Sorry, I’ve been so out of touch. It’s vacation week, as many of you with school-age children know, and I have been distracted by my kids. I offer this not as an apology or excuse, but merely my reality. We have been doing day trips and much-needed house cleaning, taking care of errands and to-do items that have been ignored because of the hectic pace of our regular days, and having as much fun as we can. With today’s storm silently blanketing the world outside as I write, I realize I am grateful for my home, the distractions of my children—who as my mother-in-law used to say “are living pieces of our hearts running around”—and the opportunity to be part of all this white wonder, safe and warm, and connected to others by a few clicks on a keyboard.
