best of 2009.... Moment of Peace

Day 8

Thats rather amusing. As a mother of 2 very active children there are very rare times where l have a moment of peace.

And if it is a moment of peace or me time it is not usually quiet (unless they are asleep), they are either squealing and yelling at each other, tearing around the house, playing cat and dog ( a game they love where they pretend they are dogs or cats), jumping on the beds (another favourite) or fighting. And if it is quiet that means they are usually asleep and my mind has gone into shut down so l have no strength or wisdom in order to do anything strutural.

So in my very rare moments of peace you can find me either

* sitting down with my wonderful husband watching a movie and l will be doing some x-stitch.

* in bed (esp on a cold rainy night) where it is warm with a good book.

* sometimes l can be shopping but that is not something l really enjoy. Wandering from shop to shop looking at things.... usually in and out in an hour.

* Or l can be online, chatting to someone, playing scrabble on facebook or shopping on ebay.

And funny as l get Thursday to myself and by the end of the day l keep wondering where the kids are and why the house is so strangely silent and shock horror even missing the kids.
