Vortices

Me, explaining to Jason that I felt depressed because he had been feeling depressed: We’re just a swirling vortex of happiness.

Ada, muttering across the room: That’s one way of describing it.

We did finally get out of the vortex of sickness that lasted for a ridiculously long time—not even counting Jeddy’s symptoms tacked on to the end. We even finally got caught up with school.

So I keep busy with lessons with the kids, outside reading on my own to keep ahead of their book reports, housekeeping (such as it is), shuttling kids to soccer and Bible study and the orthodontist, tracking Ada’s complex personal schedule, and continuing to coordinate Sunday school for the elementary age children at church—some of whom are objectively delightful and others of whom have “unbridled personality,” as Ada so aptly describes them.
