Escapade

First off -- 4578525910050000000000000 -- these numbers are courtesy of my three-year old who decided he needed to type you all a message when I got up for a minute. He is also the reason I chose the title "escapade" for today's blog post. He is without a doubt FULL of escapades! The child keeps me on my toes -- and possibly headed for a padded cell. So he's lucky he's so darn lovable and cute. :)

Do you know which 80s artist sang the song "Escapade"?? I bet you do! And Thompson Twins was the correct answer for my previous post (they have the best hair! hee hee!) -- so Alice -- you are in the drawing. I have not yet determined when I will draw a name.

Speaking of escapades, have I ever mentioned "feeding time at the zoo" on my blog? I'm quite certain I must have at some point. Feeding time at the zoo is what I call the hours of 4-7pm at my house. The kids almost always go wild at this time -- and the phone starts ringing -- and the dog barks to go out -- and I'm attempting to cook -- and something breaks or spills -- or there is bickering -- seriously, almost every day it seems -- there is some sort of chaos at my house between these hours. Another reason I may be needing that padded cell.

Perhaps it is obvious I am really, really needing a break these days. I don't get out much, nor do I get much "quiet" time -- and boy, do I treasure quiet time. The other day my son had an assignment at school to draw his dream room. His included a swimming pool, a wide screen above his bed to watch movies, a video game system and a shelf full of games and oh yes -- his own kitchen! LOL My hubby then began pondering his dream room -- it included surround sound. While they were both going on about their rooms all I could think was -- "I would just LOVE a room that was completely silent. One where I could hear myself think." Aahhhh -- that would be wonderful.

I know I'm a broken record. I've posted about my love for quiet before. But quiet is not something I get much of -- so if you could -- have a quiet moment for me today, okay??

Happy Thursday!
