At 5:16 PM our world is a bit out of focus. Nate yells from his high chair. There’s always at least one kid standing in front of me. Or on me. Ellie wears an apron to help make dinner. Even if it’s just soup from a can. Maddie, our dog, circles the kitchen waiting for food to drop…and is generally underfoot. Hopefully someone is laughing.
Someone is usually crying.
I hope it’s not me.
