There is complete chaos going on around of me, but I have a complete sense of calm. It’s amazing how something as simple as a movie can do that for you. For family movie night we watched “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium†and the youngest child ran around like a wild man up until the last…

It was time to quit (quit writing, quit cleaning and basically quit trying since I seemed to be moving backwards anyway). My normally positive side had definitely gone on vacation.
