Can you hear that? It's nothing. Beautiful, wonderful nothing. No bickering. No crying. nothing.
Do you see all the toys strewn about my house? No - you can't. Because THERE AREN'T ANY. Not one toy is on my floor.
Not one sippy cup is overturned.
Not one cabinet is open with little fingers prowling through it.
I have not been asked for a fruit snack.
I was not awakened by a little body crashing into me and saying, "Wake up, Mommy. I want breakfast."
I have had pleasant phone calls from friends today. Uninterrupted.
I've not had to sneak off to the bathroom so that I might steal a moment of privacy.
As nice as it is, I miss them.
I have had the nicest morning. The kind of morning that every mother needs ever once in a while.
Not to mention that I went on a date with my hunny last night...
What a treat!
Thanks Momma! Thanks Daddy!
We are so fortunate to have you in our lives!
I pray that my relationship with my grown-up children is as wonderful as ours!
{And yes, my other mommy friends regularly remind me of how fortunate I am to have my parents nearby...} I agree. ;)

O.K. Angela. That's enough. I am going to put a picture up of my living room on my blog, so that you can see the 2 very different worlds we are living in right now.
Seriously though. I am glad your having a good time.
i'm sure the peace and quiet is so wonderful.

yep, and equally blessed are parents and grandparents to have their children and grandchildren close...
I understand that you have been blessed and I can give grandparents a high enough mark when they do things like that enjoy!!!
