Great Day. Bad Mother

I made Talia watch TV all day. If Nate could see further than 12 inches in front of his face, I would have made him watch too.

It was too amazing. There he was, Hope in a trenchcoat nodding along to Yo-Yo Ma and that beautiful quartet. His wife's hand resting quickly on his shoulder. Orator. Statesman.

President.

Unbelievable. Weep worthy.

A reminder that indeed our capacity for evil is matched only by our capacity for good. Our American friends who have done so much harm do as much great good and it just makes me JOYFUL! Capital letter JOYFUL!

That and each of my children falling asleep holding my hand at different times in the last 24 hours.
