Sipping from a steaming mug, looking out the sunny window,

I don’t see what’s in front of me. I have become

Lost in my thoughts. Time passes until I realize

Everything around me is completely quiet. That is

Not a good sign with small children at home. I walk to their room.

Carefully opening the door, I find just what I feared, yet also

Expected. My children have made a gigantic mess during my distraction.
