By The Numbers

16 – Number of ears of corn that were shucked this afternoon
6 – Number of blood curdling screams that Mosely released after falling/scraping her elbow/ being splashed by hot corn cooking water/ being chased by Magnus/ not being able to open the door from the outside when her hands were full of dog food bowls/ expressing her displeasure at not being allowed to hold the garden hose when it was actually still London’s turn
22 – Number of bug bites all over my body that itch incessantly
7 – Number of times I have fed my beautiful infant son today (beginning at 6 a.m. – hooray for 6 a.m.!! I’m not kidding. Honestly.)
