Start at 5:00 with a baby who slept all night.Watch rainbows grow in the sky on our walk to school.
Reach the end of the rainbow. Literally.
Fill an Ikea bag full of food and clothes and games for the family whose house burned down last night.
Deliver the bag.
Complete all the errands, even the dry cleaning.
Invite Chas on a lunch date and watch his eyes shine over his worms & dirt dessert.
Laugh together at Calvin & Hobbes with Eliza.
Listen to Naomi's post-Activity Days chatter without rushing her.
Soak in the hot tub so that someone can listen to my chatter.
Discover the secret to making the baby giggle. (a belt snapping on the bed--no wonder it took us so long to figure it out.)
Count the tender mercies of the Lord in my life.
It was so great, I think I'll do it all again tomorrow.
"Life is like an old-time rail journey-delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." (Gordon B. Hinckley)

I LOVE that quote, which is why I'm letting you know that it was President Hinckley quoting Jenkins Lloyd Jones when he said that. The source I have for Brother Jones is "Big Rock Candy Mountains," Deseret News, 12 June 1973, A4.
Hope all is well with your little baby (and all your other kids too!)
