I have read about children raised in chaotic environments, and a stable home location with two competent and engaged parents - no matter how much the floor needs to be vacuumed - is usually not what they mean by "chaotic."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I suppose that second list is more fundamental, but the first list is not insignificant.
I have found that it almost never pays to get caught up in the big-picture issues, because all you can do is today. I mean, what you do today leads toward the big picture, but be kind to yourself.
I got my father a stupid sweater for his birthday (I mean, it's fine, but so uninspired), so now I have to wrap it so we can go eat barbecue.
