"The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing."
A piece of paper taped to a wall of an elementary school said this, it really resonated with me.

Dirty Laundry
Daily arguing. Sure, stress, deadlines, piles of laundry, blah-blah-blah...these pose real opposition, but I cannot shirk responsibility for failing to get along with those whom I care for most. I refuse to villainize obstacles. Resistance and challenge is needed for growth. I want to welcome these challenges with grit and fortitude. How do I do that?

Lying to Children. Honorable Mention in The Ritual of Winter Challenge.
“Fuck! How hard is it to put your laundry in the basket?” Freeing soiled man-panties from entrapment by my ankles I silent head-cursed my husband. Prepared to deliver daily commands of urgency to children, I instead irritably demanded to know why Holly was at the foot of the stairs crying. I am not a morning person even on the best of days and this clearly, was not the best.
