Quiet time

I never understood my Mom when I grew up until now. Every afternoon she would go into her room and lock herself away for what seemed like hours. It was the longest time of the day for me as I really, really loved being with my mom. She would usually read, or listen to music or meditate, pray and sometimes sleep. I thought of it as a waste of time. The rules were clear. NO ONE WAS TO BUG HER AT ALL.

After being a mom, I understand. Kaitlyn still sleeps thank God and so I have a reason for ADam to have quiet time too in his room. It is my time to recoup and get some house work done. Sanity time. No fighting, no bugging no nothing. I feel guilty for having Adam in his room every afternoon but I need that time. Ahh the joys of quiet....now what I have to do is get my work done so it can be enjoyable time like my Mom's.
