Yep, that's my house today. All three daycare kids are snoozing away, both my kids are snoozing away, the house is quiet.
It's the end of naptime for the dcks and I need to get a bottle warming for the baby. I need to get snack out and set up. Soon it will be time to swoop in and get the kids up, change diapers, take them potty. Give them snack and start dinner for my family after unloading the dishwasher while they eat. Clean up toys and keep working on laundry.
But for now, this is a napping house, and everyone is sleeping. I am taking a little break, to sit back and enjoy the silence. To enjoy the peace and let my brain relax.
This is the moment of calm, the eye of the storm of the day to day journey that is life. This moment where all is silent and it feels like the entire world is holding its breath, frozen in time, waiting.
It's a wonderful feeling...even if it only lasted ten minutes.
