In honor of Calvin's recent discovery of complex math, here is my day (so far) in numbers:
13 1/2: hours both Calvin and Hobbes slept last night after a long, napless weekend
6 1/2: hours the baby let me sleep
2: inches of snow that fell while we were doing all of that sleeping
667: number of church, school, and other institution closings due to said snow (including a certain Chinese preschool)
8 million: approximate number of people who go crazy over snow in my current state of residence
10: hour of the morning we finally sat down to breakfast and Daddy left for work
267: approximate number of smiles the baby gave to us or elicited from us before 10am
4: loads of laundry being washed today
30: minutes it took to get the three of us suited up to play in the snow
90: minutes we actually played in the snow while the baby slept (pretty good, I thought)
1: number of muddy, pitiful, Southern snowmen built
1: load added to that lineup of laundry thanks to wet, muddy snow clothes
3: cups of hot chocolate made and pairs of boots lined up to dry by the fire
4: number of nursing sessions and diapers changed before lunch
1:30: time we actually sat down to eat lunch
5: books read before quiet time
4: loads of laundry yet to be folded and put away
2: boys happily reading and having quiet time on their own
1: baby taking a nap
1: shower for me and some time alone
0: number of fights, power struggles, discipline issues, and unpleasant moments we have had today
I think that adds up to a pretty good day. Hopefully the last 4 1/2 hours will go as smoothly!
