1st day of school

I have been looking forward to this day for weeks! I have a quiet house at naptime since our oldest two sons are at school. We walked over to school and I had a little bit of a skip in my step.
Don't get me wrong; I love my kids and being around them, plus we get to go fun places in the summer.

But a stay at home mom can only take so much! We can only say " stop hitting your brother, give the toy back, cake is not a lunch choice, no you can't play the Wii anymore, for God's sake go play the Wii and be quiet!" so many times before we become Linda Blair in the exorcist. The only problem is after we squirt the pea soup all over the room, we have to clean it up.

The 1 year old and 3 year old are both great nappers. No fighting to go down and they sleep for a good 2 1/2 hours. I could actually take a shower uninterrupted, but since I just had one last night and this is the first day, I think I will just sit here and listen to.........well nothing but the silence and the pages turning in my new book.
