Decade.
Everyone got home from school today, and we’re hanging out, talking, coloring, what have you, and I’m all, It’s almost dinnertime and I don’t want to cook so let’s EAT OUT! Both kids are enthusiastic. I’ve been talking up this…

Addie had a seizure a few minutes ago. It was short: five, ten seconds. I was putting clean sheets on Eli’s bunk bed, talking to both of them about how wonderful they were tonight. And they were: unbearably, unbelievably wonderful….
