Oh Joy! Oh Rapture!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

My son is asleep. My daughter is asleep. My husband is at work. My stepson has gone home with his mom.

For the first time in five days, I am alone.

I love my family. I would set myself on fire for them. I would eat broken glass for them. I would even listen to N’Sync for them.

But after four days of toys that make noise, kids that make noise, and a husband that makes noise, all I can say right now is…

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

In my own head, of course. I don’t want anything to disturb this moment. :smiley:

So …

Ah, yes, silence…what a novel concept…something I have had very darned little of lately…

In my family we think it’s funny to give the kids noisy toys, knowing they have to take them home…and that’s okay with me, since I don’t HAVE any kids to take noisy toys home. But I have spent the last 3 days visiting family and having Christmas with them, surrounded by kids with NOISY TOYS! And of course, the usual talking, laughing, paper ripping good fellowship of a loving family.

Euty, you know I adore you, but, well, no.

Not tonight, anyway. Maybe later? After I can come up with enough cash to get to Rhode Island?

Silence? what’s that? I think it might be when the police, fire truck and ambulance sirens stop in between the buttons being pushed, or maybe when the video tape of noisy songs runs out, hmmm I think I will just head over to your place Cristi, it sounds deliteful!

You have quiet? Please tell me what it is like. If I promise not to make a sound will you share just a tiny bit?
I had four days of my five, my sister in laws three, my brother in laws two, my sisters two, my brothers two, and my grandchild.
Plus various friends who got dragged along.

Uh, nevermind…I don’t think I am ready for the quiet yet. I might think I have lost my mind!

Enjoy!

And I got some change in my pocket for your trip.
