More change around these parts
Any kind of change you introduce into the delicate balance called our family wrecks havoc.
Small (like running out of waffles in the morning), or medium (taking turns getting sick), or extra-large (me starting a new job) can cause us to walk crooked for a minute or even days. The waffle shortage can take a 20-minute breakfast into a 40-minute breakfast, with half of the time crying and negotiating over what could possibly take its place. The new job? Well, its impacts are more subtle and widespread (or perhaps I'm just fooling myself, perhaps it is hit-you-over-the-head obvious).
I should know better, though. 'Calm' comes during sleep only, and lovely, energetic chaos = normal living.
