Shhhh, be warry warry quiet.....

Peace and quiet. It's after midnight and I finally have a moment alone. Nothing but the sound of the ice maker and two kittens chasing each other.

Sigh.

A moment alone here is like discovering the walls are made of gold. It's thrilling to say the least. In Ca. they have year round school. Sounds great huh? Weeellllll, there's something they leave out. Four times a year your kids will be out of school for a month. A whole month. My boys get out of school before Christmas as usual and then don't go back til Jan. 22nd. It wouldn't be so bad if they had not just been out of school for two months while we were moving. Their old school had fall break right before we left, then we traveled all over the U.S. from east to west for 3 weeks. Then they had Thanksgiving break after we got here. Those 3 weeks of all 7 of us in hotel rooms....enough said.

See why my time quiet time is so valuable?

My life isn't just about kids. It's just the most time consuming part of it. I have lived a long, interesting 33 years. I've gotten tired of having people say "You should write a book". I should. But what would I say? I've got stories...but the things that have happened to me no one would believe. I wonder who would want to read such a thing. See, it's not so interesting to me. I lived it. But other people think I should have had a nervous breakdown by now. I don't have time for that right now. I'm planning that for when I'm 57. Somewhere between my 57th and 58th birthday...maybe on a tuesday....I'll lose it. I don't have time to write a book. I'm raising boys.

I should write a blog...
