My life equation
2 14-month olds +
1 2nd grader +
1 preschooler +
1 husband +
1 house +
15,000 useless items that are constantly strewn about and no matter how
many times I put them away somewhere they reappear like a hydra with
its endless supply of monstrous heads +
15,000 pieces of food on the floor (usually tossed from 2 highchairs) +
1 major holiday +
1 crushingly high pressure book deadline =
My life this month

Response from reader.
Simplify that equation!
One large snuggle worthy family + a house full of signs of life that will be sorely missed in twenty years + the miracle of Christ's birth + being able to do what you love = Your life this month.***********************************************************************
I think the response is from someone whose children are raised and gone from home, or perhaps never had children of her own. It's all a matter of perspective.
Keeping the big picture, the eternal picture, while dealing with the joys and chaos of everyday life is one of our major challenges.
