I'm sitting at work.
just sitting.
I didn't get here til later, so by the time I got here, the kids had just been put to bed.
Do you know how hard it is to get 5 kids in bed?
...not easy. try it sometime.
right now, they've been "put to bed" for about ... an hour and a half.
I can still hear them up there, laughing, talking, hitting things, occasionally arguing....
you know, if I were a good baby-sitter, I'd go up and say
"hey you kids! quiet down and go to sleep 'fore I throw ya all in the brig!!"
but secretly... I kind of enjoy listening to them.
There are times, I guess, when very little things that occur take on a very large meaning. I think I am at that point in my life.
I believe there's a scripture in the Book of Mormon about that -- "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass."
This is one of my "small and simple" moments.
where I just sit back
and bask in
and enjoy
all that life has to offer.
