It’s so very quiet. I’m almost not sure what to do with myself. I sit here trying to think of all of the things that we have done today that I could possibly be writing about, but all I can really think about is the peace and quiet at my house right now. For those of you living with boys you know what I’m talking about. Boys are generally loud and full of so much energy.
We finished supper tonight and while I was cleaning everything up the boys asked if we could go to town to buy them this neat little toy that they have just been dying to have. I told them that if they do all of their chores and are good the rest of the week I would take them on Friday when we make our regular trip to town to pick up things at the store. Of course, they know just how to push Daddy’s buttons though. They gave him their cute little pouty lip and mushy I love yous and they were out the door on their way to Wal-Mart! Daddy is such a sucker! I think since he isn’t home with them all day long he has a harder time telling them no. Of course it could have something to do with the fact that he is excited about the new toy too! Who knows!
So I’m sitting here in the peace and quiet all by myself! The baby is here, but he is sound asleep beside me on the couch. I’m anxious to sit down and relax after finishing the dishes and cleaning up all of the mess from supper tonight. As I go to sit down I knock over a glass of diet Pepsi all over the carpet! Of course, something like this has to happen when I’m just wanting to sit back and relax for a minute! I didn’t stress though b/c I know the secret (as many of you have read in one of my past blogs)…Windex with Vinegar will get almost anything out of carpets! It did the trick too! Thank goodness!
I must end by saying that I got to go into the bathroom with no one pounding on the door, no one peeking through the corner of the door or underneath the door, no one telling me to hurry up because they are about to pee down their leg, no one walking into the restroom just to tell me a joke or something that they think needs to be heard right this second that really could wait 2 seconds while Mommy does her thing! Are you jealous? I would be!!!!
More to come on raising my 4 sons. 🙂
