Do you hear that???

It is the sound of quiet. It is amazingly quiet here today. Peyton and Ali spent the night with Gma and Poppy in Sheffield last night. Stephen worked until 7 and I went to a Pampered Chef show at Jennifer's house and it was lots of fun! Good company, good food and good conversation. Most of the conversation was about our kids =) It is amazing how when you need a break from all the Choas and just need some alone time or a girls night just how much you miss your children and can't wait to see them the next day. It is noon and I am still in my pj's. I think the past 2 weeks of no sleep and a very busy schedule is catching up with me and I don't see any down time in the near future. So, I am doing laundry, mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and kids rooms today and I might even get a nap in. I will go pick up the kids later this afternoon. They enjoy being out on the ranch. I think they secretly miss it, I know I Do at times. Did I mention how quiet it is right now? The only sound is the sound of my typing and the dryer.

Thursday we traveled to wink for the Jr. High Track meet. Ali did awesome and I am so proud of her! She ran the 400 m relay and 800 m relay. She is the last leg in the relay and that makes a momma proud! Especially since that is the event and position I ran in school! The jr. high girls and Jr. high boys both won the entire meet! Go IJHS!!! The next meet is here in IRaan on March 20. I forgot the camera so I will have to do better next time and get pictures.

Spring break is this next week. We don't have exciting plans really. I know that I will be working some insane hours early in the week and then we go to Angelo for Ortho appts and Peyton has his speech and hearing evaluation on Friday. I am curious to see how that goes. Also we are hoping that Ali only has a couple more months of having braces!!! I know she is BEYOND excited!

I guess I had better go and enjoy this time to get things done and rest!
