Husband home. Brief encounter with police car on the way to the airport survived (without a fine. Ignorance on a traffic law specific to Arkansas + car full of five kids + midnight run to airport = some small bit of mercy, I suppose). Cause of plumbing truck and small construction equipment in neighbor's yard yesterday appears to have spread here--all drains sluggish. Everyone tired. Have high hopes for a nap (perhaps impossible hopes, but I can't stop hoping). Regardless, I'm no longer the only responsible adult around here. Thank heaven.
