Priorities

I had great plans for tonight. I was going to fold the laundry I washed today, write up my posts for the rest of the week, maybe even bake a batch of bread.

Phoebe had a different idea.

She's been cutting her first two teeth and hasn't been feeling great for the last few days. Tonight, each time I laid her in her bed, she woke up crying in pain.

So I'm holding her. I've been holding her for the last three hours. Yes, I'm getting sore. No, I haven't done any of the things I meant to do tonight. It's hard to accomplish most of those tasks with a sleeping baby in your arms.

My list of chores can wait.
