My house is quiet and very creepy. The two youngest are in bed, on time and with no arguements. Dan took Innie to Cub scouts, I didn't have to take all of the kids and make them stay up late and then behave and not run like animals all over the church. I am just in my house. Its so weird. This peace, this quiet, I absolutely have no idea what to do.
So I blog. I read other people's made a few comments and then the quiet really started to freak me out. I feel like this is one of those times that we get a glimpse into our future and I don't know what to do with it. With Dan maybe leaving again, this could be my nights for a long time. All this alone time after ten years of never being alone, seems crazy and cruel.
So I just live life now in my head and with my keyboard? Living for comments that I am already starved for. I know what I'll do, I'll head back to school, scrapbook, volunteer, go to church, do my callings, fill time. This weird feeling will come and go probably timed with Dan's coming and goings.
Wow, I know that this post is a little strange but I have this blog to vent as much as to keep people up to date. So now you all are up to date with my latest anxiety as well as my toilet issues.

I hear you. I was feeling like that the other night. The four older kids were gone and the house was eerily clean (giving the impression that they didn't exist). My hubby came home and I said, "Wow, can you believe that someday it will just be us and these two babies!" I got no response, so I'm sure he was wondering where that off-the-wall remark came from. LOL!
I love the eerie quiet! Mine come in the early morning hours. I wake up after Caryssa and Ashley leave for swim at 5:45. I then, like you, blog and check to make sure I'm not bouncing checks all over creation! My house is quiet most of the day though except for Jarom playing by himself, Ken making an occasional comment from his office and the washing machine, dishwasher and vacuum! What I wouldn't give for a day of reading!
I only dream about quiet times. I have years until all my children are in school and I can have a day to myself. Maybe I will take up reading then as well.
