It’s 12:44 a.m., the house is quiet. Well, mostly quiet. I can faintly hear Brian watching t.v in the basement. I’m currently sitting on the very first step from the second-floor hallway outside of my office, which is somewhat of a cozy spot for me and my laptop sometimes.

When you can’t find the language…
Snapshot of motherhood right now: zrbtts, hide-and-seek, Hot Wheels, and feeling overwhelmed.
