Day 362

Today I was thankful for the couple of hours of peace and quiet I got while the kids were gone. Alfredo's grandma's birthday was today, so Grandma Adela took the kids down to her house for a couple of hours tonight, and I was kid-free for awhile. It was nice and quiet - and a little weird. I got some knitting done, watched TV that wasn't cartoons, folded some laundry, did the dishes, and even ate something without have three kids hanging around and begging for some. And I did it all without once having to yell at anyone or put anyone in time out. It was so nice and over so quickly. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but time alone with no school work or anything else that has to get done is very few and far between. I loved every single minute of it.
