Briggs’s eyes widen as I read the note aloud. “Cool! Can we do it?”

“Sure. Let’s see what’s in the other bag first.”

He pulls the bag over and we work together to get the Tupperware container out. Inside are homemade Rice Krispie cereal bars with mini chocolate chips. There’s also a second note.

Can’t do magic without snacks.

Briggs giggles, but I want to scream and cry and not at all in a bad way. So many nights, I come home tired and no is on the tip of my tongue. I’m trying to give my all at school, and it feels like I can’t do the same each night when I get home.

I keep hoping that it will get easier as we get used to our new schedule, but it feels daunting, and the mom guilt is always at the periphery.

“How about this,”—I wait for Briggs to look at me—“you pick what color you want to put in each jar, and I’ll get us a snack and we can do the colors together.”

“Yeah!”

When it’s all said and done, we have one hopeful jar with blue water and one with green water. Briggs is a sticky mess, but he’s happy and I’m happy. He runs down the hall to wash his hands, and I do the same in the kitchen before pulling out my phone.

FALLON: Thank you for the surprises on our doorstep
