Light at the End of the Tunnel

I'm so close to the end of this revision. I want to finish it so badly, and I'm having a hard time not becoming a total hermit. I have done zero housework or laundry today. I am currently sitting in my unmade bed. Nathan was ransacking the house this morning looking for clean work clothes... and didn't find them. (Okay, that I will have to take care of today.) I know I'm being selfish, but I keep stealing a few minutes here and a few minutes there to try to carve out a happy ending that is the same and also different from the happy ending I wrote last time. I'm looking forward to sending this manuscript out again. I like it better, and I hope it will win over an agent this time.

So, pretend not to notice the complete disarray of the living room, the piles of laundry and the cranky toddler. Mom will be back soon.

I promised Mazie a trip to the park today as soon as the boys get home from school. If Josie wasn't so small, I would seriously consider sitting in my car with my laptop, but alas, I have to watch her more carefully than that.

My in-laws left for home this morning. They watched our kids last night so we could go to the temple. I was so happy to finally have the opportunity to go with my sweet husband to the House of the Lord. I came home feeling renewed. This morning, Veral gave Nathan a beautiful father's blessing. I'm feeling very grateful today for our families. They have seen us through so much, and now is no different. We feel tried, it's true, but we also feel loved.
