Quiet

Help!  

What should I DO?!

I'm home alone 

and the house is QUIET ... 

I can't remember the last time 

that such a phenomenon happened.

Papa went to Bible study 

with Josh, Hosanna, and Josiah.

Gregg took Ben, Jacob, Sarah, 

Rachel, and Elijah to the park.

And ... Lindsey went to visit 

her friends at Youth Group.

What to do?  What to do?

Should I ...

...  read a book?

...  make menu plans?

...  do more laundry?

...  write a few blog posts?

Since I can make menus, do laundry, and write blog posts when the kids are home ... I think I will READ in my QUIET house.

Should I ...

...  lay on my bed to read?

...  sit in the QUIET living room?

...  sit outside because it is finally NICE out?

   (we hit 70 degrees for the first time this spring)

I'm off ... to sip some ice tea and read a book ...

Now ... what shall I read???

So much for a quiet time.  After Lindsey left ...

... I wrote this post.

... started a load of laundry.

...  made my ice tea.

... picked up a book to read

...  and, the kids came home before I could even 

    make it outside to sit down and read the book.

    (They had had some disagreements at the park,

      so Gregg brought them home early.)  So sad!
