As a mom of three beautiful children, I truly savor the quiet moments. Our house is full of activity from the moment the kids are awake until the moment they fall asleep.
Sometimes there is a brief lull in the activity in the morning, while Braden is away at preschool and Dalton is at school. I'm left to play with an adorable baby for a full two and a half hours! In the afternoon, Kylee takes a nap. Then I am able to play a game with Braden. It's like a hurricane is hitting our house when Dalton gets off the bus. There is a rush of activity as he drops his backpack on the floor and tells me in about 30 seconds what he did that day. Suddenly there are loud and excited little boy voices as the boys talk frantically to each other about what they plan to do before dinner. Kylee usually hears this and decides she wants to be in on the fun.
Dinner, showers, and story time takes up the rest of our evening. The boys go to bed and Karl and I are able to settle down and chat about our own days. Kylee runs around and jabbers for another couple of hours. When she goes to bed, I think I have finally found quiet time again... Until the cats start meowing to be fed.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning, wonder what my day will bring and debate about getting a head start on my daily chores--but then that would ruin the quiet, wouldn't it?
