So yesterday a super sweet couple in our church took the little boys for five whole hours!! FIVE!! After they left I just sat down and enjoyed the silence for about 3 minutes and then if felt a little weird. I did however find some fantastic things to fill my time, like...
an uninterrupted hour with my breakfast, coffee and God. I cannot tell you when the last time that happened was.
and curtain making...these curtains are made out of two table runners I found YEARS ago on an amazing clearance at Target (LOVE) and had made into a shower curtain that is no longer needed so I re-purposed them as kitchen curtains.
I even had time to clean that nasty spot under the sink that you don't ever want anyone to look at. Yup, its clean now. In fact I got SO much done and did not really feel tired I started to wonder why that was. Then the boys came home, or rather CN5 came home, and it took 53 seconds for me to remember why. You see, I had forgotten what it was like to be able to leave a room and not worry about what a certain chicken might be getting into, or to worry about what he might destroy, what it was like to be able to let my guard down, like when I walked into the kitchen to see the little chicken in question looking over his shoulder, watching out for me all the while, drawing in red pen on my freshly painted wall. yea, like that. Days off are nice.
