Quiet House

Tonight I had a rare experience. After a long day, I put my children to bed, came downstairs, and encountered... silence. Ben was not home, so I sat by myself and just breathed in the peace and quiet. I love my husband, and enjoy the end of the day when the kids are in bed and we get to have uninterrupted adult conversation and catch up on each other's day. Every now and then, however, I really enjoy not having to talk to anyone, to just sit by myself and bask in the quiet of my own thoughts. It was a nice treat, a great end to another busy week.
