One of the things that I long for as a mom--is quiet.
I mean silence.
Where there is no noise except the faucet dripping.
With six people living in our home it is very rarely quiet.
Sometimes I get so focused on moving from one activity to the next.
That I forget that we ALL need "down time."
We like each other better after we have all been still for a while each day.
My younger foster babies take naps.
My older boys look at books, or rest quietly.
I sometimes just sit and do nothing.
Or read blogs. :)
But we all function better with a little quiet each day.
How about your family?
Do you need quiet time every day?
Sure do need quiet! Early in the morning is best for me--hubby leaves at 5:15 so I get up at 5:00 and pack his lunch, then usually have a quiet house till about 7:00. Lately, with the sun rising at 6:00, boys have been waking earlier, but not before 6:30. I love that bit of quiet in the morning!
ReplyDeleteFunny! That was on my mind just this morning!! It doesn't happen often, but I do like some down time for sure!
