This list.

Some days the things on this list are mere annoyances. Other days they are sweet reminders, that this house is filled with people that I love, and who love me back.

• the cluster of stickers stuck to my bedroom wall
• the plastic golf clubs/balls strewn about the back yard
• the chalk and chalk drawings on the patio
• the poopy diaper sitting on the back step, waiting to be taken to the trash
• the pile of dirty socks at the base of Bryan's dresser
• the snot on my shoulder
• the dinosaurs lined up on the floor
• the tools littering the dining room table

Now, tomorrow I might feel overwhelmed with things to clean up. But today these things really are sweet reminders that people I love live here. (Cheesy, I know, but true)
