at least for this introverted girl. Now, don't get me wrong, I am absolutely thrilled that my kids have loads of neighborhood kids to play with and that they are often hanging out here. Especially as my boys get older, I want to be the house where kids come to hang out. It means I know what's going on. But, through the summer holidays I have discovered that I get a tad overwhelmed when kids are here everyday and I am looking after 5 or 6 all the time. As an introvert I need some solitude -- time away from everyone to recharge my batteries.
School started today and that was a good thing. Sy still only goes for 2.5 hours in the morning but I realize now what I can get done in that amount of time. Today, though, I came home from dropping them off and enjoyed the peace. I made a cup of tea and watched a chick flick all by myself. It was really nice! Tomorrow I'll step back into reality -- get the house tidied, and maybe run to the store sans kiddos.

I'm so glad you got some time to re-charge. Derek is the same way - needs a little time to himself. The boys look fabulous in their first day of school picture. So cute! Enjoy getting things done and drinking tea. Love you.
Ah...the sound of silence...
A beautiful sound, is it not?!
A cup of tea...a chick flick...
All that's missing is the tiramisu;)
