Writer. Seeker. Noticer. Mom of humans and dogs. Wife of Christian. Writing about small things and big things.
The boys are back in school after vacation. Christian is away for work. The house was very quiet today. Lot's of running the kids around after school. That's pretty normal for this time of year.

The news is so bad. It's so very bad. We're witnessing a failure of two branches of our government. We are in the midst of the worst of the pandemic. I don't know who to be more angry with.
