The Sigh of Relief

You know that feeling you get when all your kids are in bed and asleep...(sigh)yeah that one. The wonderful blissful sound of silence. The fabulous feeling of knowing the next few hours (or minutes depending on how much of a fight they put up!) are totally yours. Do with them as you wish. Should I start that book I've been dying to read? Should I take a long, hot bubble bath? I am so not doing dishes or laundry. NO! This is my time, for just me, doing what I want. It comes but once a day and is gone so fast. What should I do? what should i do? what should i do........ ZZZZZZZ. "MOM!!! I NEED YOU!!!" "WAAAAHHHHH!!!" "HONEY, WILL YOU GET ME SOMETHING?" Oh well, maybe tomorrow night I'll get to all those other things I've been dying to get to. Maybe. Until then I will think and dream of my time by myself when the last kid is tucked in and fast asleep and I can breathe that sigh of relief.
