Back in the Habit

What can you find at home that you can find nowhere else?

• Windows without screens.



• A changing table in the already too-small hallway.



• Four sleeping children.



• Extension cords in the bedrooms, plugged into upside down outlets.



• A clock that's hung up but needs a new battery.



• A mound of clean laundry on top of the dryer.



• A washer that drains into a sink.



• A craft project gone awry.



• My grandparent's wedding china drying on the counter.



• The new dresser/changing table on the front porch.



• A metal cupboard leaning against the house waiting for sanding.



• One of three levels done for the garden retaining wall.



• Watermelon stickiness by Meg's chair.



• Legos all over the sun room table.



• Dead annuals in a planter on the front porch.



• Shoes by every possible exit from the house.



• A camera with a full memory card.



• An old wood ladder in the back yard waiting to be brought inside for its new purpose.



• Books snuck in by the girls into their room...kind of like contraband.



• My mom's rocking chair from when she was a girl waiting to be reupholstered.



• The fabric with which to reupholster the chair.



• A sun room with one piece of sheet music wall papered on waiting to see if I like it.



• A basement full of pears, again.



• My family.
