Recently I have been anything but a "serene woman". I've always prided myself in my ability to multi-task. At any one time I have at least three different things going on. The washer is going, the dryer is going, the dishwasher is going and I'm folding laundry while listening to Grace read...or...I'm sewing up a quilt row, talking on the phone, and holding Ruth on my lap...or...I'm cooking dinner while cutting out a pattern on the kitchen counter, and texting...or...I'm talking to Simon ...

Reflections on Halloween
You will be reading this in the morning....or at least in the daylight...but I am writing this at night. It's dark and everyone at my house is in bed and asleep. And me, I'm so tired.
