Ok, so here i am sitting here in the dark, drinking my coffee, I am really tired, bc i didnt lay down till 11:30. Was goint to go at 10:30 and dh asked me to watch a show with him, so now im really tired. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired, and yet as i sit here and enjoy the quiet and stillness of the house, I remember why it was that i wanted to get up early in the first place. I do like to chat with some of my fellow homeschool moms, and just air out the day, but i love the quiet. I just dont ever have quiet anymore, duh, i know, i have children, but is that something you ever thought you might miss? Just having quiet? And yes, i know it is quiet at night after they go to bed, but I usually watch the news, and pick up the house a bit, so that when i get up its clean and doesnt stress me out. It is quiet, but just a diff kind of quiet. So, this is what i need, just a little quiet first thing in the am to get me going. So i will just sit back, drink my coffee, think on my day, talk to the Lord, and see what He has planned for me, and just enjoy the quiet. Now that i think about it, i cant wait till spring, when the windows are open and i can listen to the birds announce the sunrise. UHG, cant wait till spring.
I love my quiet mornings. It is something I really need more often. There are times when I get up early and stay up just to drink my coffee, read, or anything that I can do to just relax and enjoy the silence. I miss sitting down to read a good book which I used to do all the time. I get re energized when I get time alone.
When the weather is warm, I like to sit out back and watch the sun come up. Although my street is busy and I hear cars zooming by, watching the sunrise has a way of drowning out the noises around me.
Crazy as it may sound, I go to work for my quiet. I get it once a week. I do the book keeping at work and I'm locked in a room by myself. I take my blackberry in and some ear phones and I'm totally content. I won't get quiet at home it's just not possible with my hooligans running in and out of the house.
my only time to myself is when i am doing my own studying (in holistic therapy) when dd1 is trampolining or doing gymnastics at our leisure centre, i drop my younger two off at my parents and i get to sit aaahhhhh its lovely
I do it at least 1x per week at night. Take a bath - and tell everyone to leave me alone Granted - I also must admit - waking up early this morning and starting to get stuff done (laundry in & yesterdays stuff is folded and put away) feels pretty good and I don't feel as bad sitting here for a little bit. Of course my in-laws show up today so I need to pick up the house
