I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so when the girls and I got home in the evening, I quietly snuck away to lay down for a few minutes. Curled up with a blanket and my iPad in the living room, I listened to the two happily play in Zoe’s room (Zoe was reading, Avery was making food in the kitchen) and wondered how long it would be until one of them (i.e. Avery) set off to find me. The answer: Seven minutes. (And, yes, it was Avery who came looking for me.)

While seven minutes may not seem like a very long time – certainly not enough time to rest when you’re not feeling well – I was actually pretty pleased. Last year at this time, I could barely get seven seconds to myself, and I probably wouldn’t have even tried to sneak some rest! So I’ll take what I can get…
