Heaven!!

You talk about a 360!

Yesterday was so NOT what I thought it would be, and today? PERFECTION! During the day I felt like I had more time to work and play with Kyle, and less "wasted time." The biggest difference I noticed was after school. The kids came home and did their chores and snack like normal, then Kenna and I just sat at the kitchen table doing her homework, and Lonnie, Sophie, and Kyle played Memory. Then every once in awhile Lonnie and I would trade, he would help Kenna with homework, and I would play memory with the kids. I am so surprised by Sophie's memory. She whooped me like 10 to 1!
Normally, we would have the TV on in the back ground, or Kenna would have an ipod in her ears. But there was interaction, laughing, and what I love is the quietness....and the fact Lonnie helped me make dinner!
Lonnie went to Kenna's middle school open house, and Kyle and Sophie worked like this amazing team, bringing toys down from the gameroom to play together. They helped me fold laundry, pure bliss.
With no TV at night Lonnie spent some time studying for his big test, and I held a powerhour (work thing) with my team and was able to get some training written for my upcoming business trip to Maine, Connecticut, and Boston.
It's SOOOOO peaceful. I could totally be Amish. OK, maybe not, but I like this!
