But let me tell you something....its quiet....too quiet....after 7 plus years of being a mom you get accustomed to the noise, mess and chaos that entails being a parent.....when those things are not here it feels weird....out of sorts....not normal......
Thinking back to our pre-child time I don't remember what we used to do to occupy our time when we were not working....back then it seemed like there was never enough time to do anything....boy was I wrong.....7 years later 2 kids and constant juggling of working and home life....sometimes you forget to breath!....or you sit down on Sunday night and wonder what the hell happened to your weekend......
I am not saying that I don't enjoy the breaks that I get....the time alone is much needed....it gives Andrew and I time to just hang out and remember why 12 plus years ago we started down this road of becoming our own family unit....it gives us time to talk....really talk without interruptions....it allows us to go do things in the spur of the moment.....something that we used to do prior to kids....and we can try to sleep in....but when did sleeping in consist of 7 am.....it allows me to have the alone time that I need....time to read a book at the end of my work day outside for an hour.....
But then the quiet creeps back in and I start to miss the noise, mess, craziness they bring cuz I am accustom to it....I love my routine of tucking them in at night....hearing them say "I love you" and Syd saying "sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite".....
Life without kids to me is just too quiet!...(until I want to pull my hair out from them constantly yelling at each other!)
