You mentioned you could write a novel, I'd definitely read it! I don't know how you find time to sleep, I come home at the end of the day exhausted. But then again, it sounds like you've managed to develop a happy work life. You're incredibly lucky (which is really the wrong word, it sounds like you worked your tail off for every inch of it). And I noticed the floors too, lol - they're gorgeous!
We finally had wood floors put in a few years ago, and I swear the very next day the toilet was left unattended and decided to ruin the ENTIRE upstairs, and it had to be done all over again, along with a cleaning of the ductwork and water damage that made it downstairs. After having the floors done multiple times (the wood just twice), we're ridiculously careful with it now!
And you and your family are absolutely beautiful. Sounds like you have a fuller life than most! :)
