the desire to do something nice for my girls and take them to the park this morning overcame my usually stronger desire to stay in the house with curtains drawn. stayed focused enough to get us ready and out of the house early. even managed to talk to other families in the park a little bit. only because they initiated conversation with me so it would have been more awkward to avoid it, but still, i will consider that a success.
as always grateful to be back home and in for the day. even got them cleaned up and in their pjs though it was only noon.
