One day, when the kids are grown and out of the house, I’ll figure out how to go to sleep at a decent hour.
It’s almost midnight and my three kids are asleep. The dog is sprawled out on the bed snoozing, her tail randomly wagging now and again as she dreams. I’m propped up in bed, my iPad in my lap while my husband slumbers peacefully next to me. I’m about to click the Play button so I can watch one more episode ofMy eyelids are so heavy I practically need a pair of toothpicks to prop them open. I’m exhausted, no question.
The delicious stillness of a quiet house is my personal version of nirvana. No one is asking me for anything. No one is crying, yelling or singing at the top of their lungs. No one is touching my butt and asking why it’s so saggy or playing with my unwashed hair or yanking on my arm. This is when I can regroup, ignore the crap of the day and lose myself in a book or show or hot shower. I love being the only one awake in my house late at night – and I’m not the only one.
