It’s 10:30 and the house is silent

Jeff left with the kids to let me sleep in a little more.  Have I ever mentioned the man in a saint sometimes?

 

So, I got up at a leisurely 9:30ish and have sat here in silence.

 

Now usually I play music when I’m at the computer, but right now I’m enjoying the silence.

 

Hear that.

 

That’s the sound of no kids arguing, no kids about to do something horribly dangerous.  No kids being crazy.  It’s silence.

 

Bless the man.  Darn, I just heard the garage my silence is gone.

    My mother tells me I'll miss the noise someday – but a little silence every once in a while, is golden!

    What a nice break! Mike took my three to the children's museum this morning, and it was SO nice to mop the floors without little feet in the way!

  4. Oh how I would love a little silence for once. I agree with Leah's mom after being there once, when the kids are grown and gone the silence is almost deafening at times. Is there ever truly a happy medium?

    I think your man earned some major points today! Sounds like a lovely morning.

  6. Oh silence is golden, is it not…but do agree we will all miss that noise at some stage in our lives.

  7. I guess this is why Lars insists we stick with one – both of us can only take so much noise. Silence can be truly golden.

  8. My husband will do that for me sometimes to…men like ours are hard to find! :0)

  9. Hi Ticia,
    They say “Great Minds Think Alike”….a lot of us had nature studies/walks this week. But seriously, I think the winter was so bad weatherwise that all the more the signs of spring are so welcomed.
    I do enjoy reading your post and all the others each Sunday…. so many creative, interesting, and fun science ideas and activities.
    Thank you for hosting each week.
    Best regards,
    Marcia 🙂

  10. Sometimes my hubby takes the kids to visit his mom on the weekend and I always choose to stay home. Nothing against the Mother in law but I just love the time alone…even if is only for an hour!
