Tonight had the potential to be a perfect scrapping night for me. My DH came home in kind of a yucky mood and somehow, fell asleep before 7pm. He did wake up around 8:30ish and was up for about an hour, but then headed off to bed -- very unlike him, especially on a Friday! In a perfect world, my children should have been in bed by 9 or 9:30p, and had that happened, I would have had a quiet house all to myself to scrap in!
Of course, this is not a perfect world. The youngest took a late nap and was wired, so I just put him to bed at about 10:20p -- I still hear him jabbering to himself! I have the most darling picture of him (not that I'm biased or anything) that I was totally ITCHING to scrap earlier, but now I'm feeling so darn tired. Plus I have to get up early and get our taxes done in the morning. Sigh...I am not quite ready to pull my butt out of this computer chair, so I thought what the heck...I'll type a little.
Speaking of being tired...I have noticed that there are days when I feel tired all day long, but it's odd -- come bed time, if everyone else falls asleep before me (and of course, the kids usually do!), I all of a sudden have this urge to stay up and do something, just because I have a quiet house. I rarely have a quiet house. I think I feel like I'm wasting it if I just go to sleep. Is anyone else like this or am I just a goof?
(On second thought, don't answer that part about me being a goof!)
On that note...off to bed. That second wind I'm describing above just ain't comin' tonight, so sweet dreams everyone!

Rita...what on earth is a quiet house!LOL
Quiet house is always a dream!! Hugs Wanda
rita sweetie, one time, when my kids were really little, i was whining to my mom about the mess.
she said, "one day your kids will be grown and you'll look around and say,'oh. look at my clean floor. look at my clean counters, and you'll miss the mess'".
she was right, in a way. enjoy it now. it passes all too quickly.
but to be honest, i enjoy the peace, too! LOL
