Can you hear it? That sound? The "Mommy Mommy Mommy" three kids talking at once ask for something the second I sit down whine whine whine throw self down on floor because Mommy won't let me do ANYTHING I want (ok that last one's mostly the 3 year old).
Yeah, I don't hear it either. Because everyone just went to bed. The house is nice and quiet.
Now, here is my revelation for the day: when that quiet time hits, I need to sit down and soak it in.
I have been feeling guilty that I don't jump into some project immediately after the kids' heads hit their pillows. I feel like I should tidy. Clean something. Look for Things to toss. My house is always a disaster, surely I should be using this time for something productive.
But I just... can't. I want to sit here and listen to nobody ask me for anything.
The thing is, I don't get a lot of time to myself, and as an introvert, I need some quiet time. NEED IT. I have three NOT QUIET children (even if my middle one is an introvert, she is a whiny one!). I homeschool. I am ALWAYS around people.
Not having quiet time gets on my nerves. Makes me edgy and more quick to be annoyed.
So from now on, I refuse to feel guilty that I flop on the couch once the kids go to bed. I will savour the hour of peace.
And only THEN, once I have recharged, will I get up and do something productive.
