My youngest fell asleep soundly two hours ago. At the same time, my husband took my oldest to a neighbors to play. I have been alone in the silence of my house for these past two hours. My house is clean, so i didn't have to do any work there. My tivo is caught up on, so nothing there. So, i picked up my book and sat down to read, and instead dialed my friend and had a wonderful un-interupted phone conversation for the last two hours. sometimes i forget how nice it is to keep a thought in my head or a conversation flowing when there aren't children talking, babies screaming, or toys flying at my head. sometimes i forget how nice the quiet of my home is, especially when it's clean. sometimes i forget everything there is to forget when i am 100% focused on the here and now of my children. tonight has been such a nice reminder of these things i have forgotten.
and now, i am off to read that book again. in the peace and quiet of my clean, distraction-free home!
