Quiet Time

This morning,
Aiden and I walked his sister to her second day of third grade.


Then came home and drove his brother to his first day of eighth grade.


When we returned home,
we played baby,
and read a couple books.

We practiced the Lings,
and just lounged around a bit.

It's my second school year as a stay at home mom.
I miss my job, my friends, and meeting new students,
but I am enjoying my children,
like I never have before.
I feel blessed,
and am very thankful.

Aiden is taking his morning nap.
Floors are swept, laundry is done.
House could be vacuumed,
and I should start planning dinner.
Nah.

The house is completely silent.
It's been a busy, yet very fun summer.
So I think I'll just enjoy these first moments,
by myself,
doing what I want to do,
engulfed in silence.
