It’s quiet
It is quiet in our house.
The boys left on homevisit so David took Goldi to the vet to get her post-surgery stitches removed and Liam to the doctor for a throat culture.
My friend, Sheryl, just picked up Adam so he could join in on the first stretch of the staff canoe trip today.
Zara is sleeping and will probably sleep for another thirty minutes unless her cough wakes her prematurely.
For the first time in months, my brain is just taking in long, deep breaths of silence and exhaling them slowly.
The funny thing is, I woke up this morning after an interrupted night and wondered if every mom gets up feeling so overwhelmed with love for her family.
But this quiet is delicious. Even for a used to be extrovert.
As a mother, I rejoice with you. Deeply. I can aaaalmost enjoy the quiet vicariously myself. {grins}
Quiet is truly delicious. I used to think I was an extrovert. Since I’m a mother, I’m not so sure. 🙂
I hope it’s wonderfully refreshing for you!
Isn’t it strange? I’m not sure if I’ve actually done a personality switch or if the real me is just buried temporarily. 😉 But it definitely makes me feel more normal to hear that other people feel the same way and I’m not just turning into a hermit!
