Cultivate Quiet Moments.
This is something that I don't get that often!!! The book talks about how people and kids are bombarded with a constant bugging of cell phones, video games, tv, radio, toys that talk and buzz, squawk, & wail. Constant company and activities going on~Well children as well as adults need the peace that is found in quiet.
Today has not been that day for me. It started at 12am when Keagan decided that he needed to get up 3 times in the night for whatever reason was waking him up. Next on to a playdate with a friend of his to Monkey Joe. Those of you who don't know what Monkey Joes is...It's an inflatable slide park that is super fun but has kids running around screaming constantly. Then on to McDonalds for the boys to have lunch and a stream of conversation taking place between us and the other couple.
We get back to town and go straight to looking at houses for my Mother in Law and the next several hours is spent with "house" talk and whining from Keagan because he never got the nap he needed.
Now we're back home-it's getting late, I have the background noise of the washer, dryer, & dish washer going...A movie that Aaron is watching way too loud. No clue what it is but all I hear is screaming and gun fire and Keagan and Boodro running around playing, screaming and growling.
If I could just put ear plugs in my ears and have FIVE minutes without a word, a cry, an appliance, a movie I think I would be a new woman. Tonight about as close as I'll get to that though is when I finally surrender to the day and go to bed. My nice cozy, quiet, bed...Until the next day hits and I do it all over again.
ssshhhhh....
