I want my life back. I will have it back soon. Stay at home moms and dads and childcare workers are heroes. And teachers. That is all. Or, almost. Edited to add more whine and heroes.

There are toys all over the floor, cartoons on the TeeVee, the 1 year old is tired but won’t take his nap, the 4 year old is hooting loudly (singing, he says), whining about orange juice and burying his little brother under empty boxes, the 85 year old is clean and dressed now and sitting on the couch reading the morning paper, the 15 year old (cat) has stopped yowling and is sleeping somewhere, having failed to convince me that I’ve been starving her for days even though she just ate, lunch needs making and breakfast needs cleaning up, the floor needs to be mopped, laundry will have to wait, the 31 year old is at work, hating it but thankful that she has a job, the 50 year old is also thankful the 30 year old has a job… but can’t wait til she also has a babysitter. Grandmas need care too.
