A Quiet House
9:00 p.m. and all is well with the world. At least, all is well within my world. My house has not been this quiet at this time of night....since April 24, 2004 when Micah came into this world. Richard is at school. The boys are both asleep. Even the dog has calmed her incessant barking.
I remember when Micah was born and I asked my sister Keri, "When do they start sleeping through the night???" In her all her motherly wisdom she replied, "When you absolutely think you cannot take another night of no sleep." I thought she was crazy, but just as I came to my breaking point....Micah blessed me with zzzzzzs.
Lately I have asked, "When do they start going to bed at a decent hour?" My mom promised me, "Kindergarten. I guarantee you he will go to sleep better at night when he starts kindergarten. I know it totally wore you out".
When I get to heaven, the first thing I am going to thank God for is Kindergarten.
Now.....what to do with myself since I have the rest of this night to myself.... (yawn)
