I find that I am enjoying all the down time with my kids. I hadn't realized how grown-up my 7-year-old daughter has become. I've also figured out how to get her to follow directions quickly (though, I'll admit it does involve gummi bears...). And I spent an hour on the phone with a friend I haven't seen in months. We both needed some time to decompress.

Focusing on the positive is something that I usually do, but in my stressed out state I hadn't spent much time thinking about it. Thank you, Lynn.
