The Privilege Is All Mine

Today I was blessed to

• make pancakes and scramble eggs for growling tummies.
• watch Brian play with Maddie and Owen in swirling snow.
• snuggle a feverish Benjamin, whose body is usually too busy to be still.
• read more books than I have fingers to count.
• hear Gavin's detailed instructions on how to build a Lego ship.
• wash mounds of snow-soaked sweaters and mittens.
• stir chocolate into milk for a rare afternoon treat.
• peel the backs off of numerous stickers to help Owen make a birthday card.
• tuck blankets around sleeping bodies and kiss sleeping brows.
• watch a movie with Brian-- and only Brian.
• embrace life as a wife and mother.

Yes, the privilege is all mine.
