quiet

Today at 11:30 I experienced something that I had been waiting for, for a long time. Ivan was down for his nap and Connor was playing Lego StarWars. The house was quiet. So quiet. I ate my lunch and totally vegged in front of the computer. Looking at "my stuff." Tomorrow Connor is gone. His first day. I am going to be at the Y then but still it will be another quiet afternoon when he gets out. I went and scrapped. However after a little while I had a helper and one layout took 45 min! Grrr! But I did get one done. An afternoon of no fighting over channels, video games, computer, who touched whom, no " I'm thirsty" or "I'm hungry." Just little man, Connor doing his own thing. A mom could get used to an afternoon like that....
