1 tired adult
2 days left to pick up my books from the library's hold shelf
2 (short) naps that day
45 minutes before the roasting chicken should be turned in oven
1 determined visit to the library
1 minute I considered not taking a burp cloth into the building
5 times I said "Walking feet, inside voices!"
3 Dr. Seuss books gleefully discovered & brought, one by one, by Kyle
2 visits to the bathroom initiated by children
0 visits to the bathroom initiated by me
2 minutes between bathroom visits
1 colossal spit-up by Owen
3 times I felt profoundly grateful that I had brought the burp cloth after all
1 number of times I was looked on with sympathy by a young girl as I mopped up the splat
2+ dollars paid in fines because I am not as observant of due dates as I used to be
1 time greeted by Story Time man, who I met when I came with my 6-week-old only child
1 forehead sweaty from exertion
3 times I wondered how Story Time man's perception of me has changed in the past 6 years
6 books for boys
2 books for me
0 minutes left on oven timer when we arrived home
