A Moment to Myself

to say ahhhh. . .

Today was a good day but we had a few rough patches. Niall didn't take a nap, and I tried for an hour to get him to sleep before giving up. He was so tired and grumpy, but then we went to a fantastic barbeque at our neighbor's house and life was good for a while. He played with the neighbor's daughter and was having the best time, until he fell over. Then there was no recovering, it was time to go home.

We've been trying to get him on an earlier schedule, so I was hoping this would work out in my favor but you never know. Sometimes when they're over tired it becomes even more difficult to go to sleep. It turns out today IS my lucky day. I brought him home, gave him a bath, and he was asleep before 8 pm. Unbelievable!

Now I'm enjoying a nice quiet house and a moment to myself. There are a million things I should be doing right now, but I'm taking a deep breath and enjoying the quiet. Tomorrow is another day, and this might not happen again for a very long time. Ahhhh. . . peace.
