Night Owl

It's 11:00 pm and everyone in the house is asleep. Matt is out, the girls are quiet and Quinn is quietly slumbering next to me on the bed.

I should be asleep.

I should close this computer.

I should turn off the light and stop.

But I can't.

My brain won't stop. Do you ever have that happen? I think it's possible that I am going going going from the second I get up until this time of night, so I never really have a chance to just quietly reflect. Alone.

So I am up at 11:00 pm and I should be asleep, but instead I'm taking this time to have the only "alone time" I get in my "day." (I say "day" because it's obviously night)

I figure one day I will have mostly alone time and will miss this busy-ness that my days bring now.

Then I can write a blog post about being always alone and wishing I had my kids home to play with me.

Go figure.
