Peace and Quiet

Tonight almost everyone is out of the house. Only Randy, Me and the 17 month old and she is in bed fast asleep. So it is a very quiet evening. I have to say even sitting here watching TV I sometimes just mute it to have a bit more silence. You never know how much you appreciate a quiet evening at home until you don't have one. I am waiting for one of my programs to come on in a few minutes and I think after I watch it I just might turn in for the night. That way when everyone comes home I will be asleep and will continue the silence until morning light. Oh well, something to think about.

Peaceful Dinner

Last night the Mother of the three year old in the house finally went back to her second job. She hasn't been there for 5 weeks. So because of her not being here last night we had a very peaceful dinner. There were no arguments about him eating or telling him to focus and quit playing in his food. He sat there very quietly and ate his entire plate of food. Which for a three year old was a good size plate. Plus he took extra on a couple of things. But when the Mother is here there is screaming, crying and throwing of the silverware across the table and I don't mean from the 3 year old I mean all of this is coming from the Mother. The other night she got so mad at him that she threw his fork across the table and just about punctured a major appendage belonging to Jill. I really don't understand it but when she is gone he is not a huge problem like he is when she is home. Thankfully she will be working again this evening for dinner.
