It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

I can't hear myself think

I've heard the phrase before, but assumed it was just a phrase. But it is real. I really, really, really can't hear myself think over the noise of the kids! They were playing outside, but all came in for dinner and homework. For some reason, I have a current overwhelming need for peace and quiet contrary to their current needs to yell and bicker.

Tonight my goal will be to get them all into bed EARLY!!! The earlier the better.

Husband has been gone since early, and won't be home until late. He has also informed that it will be his schedule for most of the week.

I am without my minivan - it is getting a new door at Toyota (under warranty, they claim, but I believe they are just trying to stay on their owner's good sides!)

It is a beautiful day out there, and we all played outside after school. Until Daughter fell playing hopscotch and screamed bloody murder.

I think that is what started my need for peace.

Bedtime will certainly not come quickly enough tonight. Too bad the boys can now tell time.
