It's too quiet

David is at work. The girls are at the pool. Dallas is at Ganny's til 6.
Normally I'd be all WHOOPIE!! about having the house all to myself. I mean, I can get a lot done. Like the laundry, catching up on my reading, even taking a long soak in a bubble bath or even better, a looong nap. But no. Not me. Not today. Instead I have found myself walking around the house in and out of the kids' rooms looking around at all their belongings, toys, gadgets and what nots with a smile. Standing quietly in the middle of my room running my fingers across the smoothness of the comforter that lies in a heap at the foot of our unmade bed. Peering into the fridge for what seemed like forever hoping that the next great American recipe would just pop up in my head and I'd be cooking away. Laying here on the couch with this laptop listening to the AC kick off and on and the roar of tractors and other farm~ish type vehicles driving by thinking to myself....hmmm? Because that is the only sound I can make right now. It's a content hmmm.
Soon my home will be filled with sound. Chesney laughing just like I do. Dallas making vroom vroom crash sounds with his Transformer of the day. David outside weed eating HIS lawn..(expertly I may add) Maybe I'll just lie here a bit longer and relish the quiet. Close my eyes and enjoy the sound of contentment. hmmmm
