Cross-world Countdown Day 19

    Wow! What a day!
         A house-full of kids at play (5 today)
            Rather useful - while they were happily occupied
               Mom got all the week's laundry done
                    Packed a box
                       Tidied the house
                           Sorted another room
                               Organized the overflowing recyclables
                                    Made a meal
                                        Memorized a script for tomorrow's church commissioning
                                              Scanned needed documents so we don't have to pack the paper
                                                 Touched up the kitchen and stair well ceiling paint job
                                                     Vacuumed
                                                          Very nearly sold the car twice
                                                             (Why didn't one of them come with a deposit?)
                                                                   Handled a higher than usual volume of calls
                                                                      Sold the coffee table
                                                                    And Dad?
                                                                He's been meeting and praying with people all day
                                                           And still is!
                                                       At least he's at home now
                                                    How thankful we are
                                                 For all the stamina     
                                              For all the help
                                          That God has given
                                       So we can get all this done
                                   On this very busy weekend
                               With joy and enthusiasm
                          Despite a growing sleep debt
                      A seemingly ever-growing
                   List of things to do
               And the barely organized chaos
            Of a half-packed house   
       Wow! What a day!
