Silence is Golden?

Have you ever heard this phrase?

I don't agree with it!

I can't tell you how many times over the past 7 to 8 weeks that I have wished for silence...just five minutes of it.  Being a new mom of three I just needed some time to reclaim my sanity.

I finally got a taste of silence for the past 24 hours. My mom took my two oldest for an overnight stay at Grandma and Grandpas.  I still had Alexander but he's not that fussy of a baby he's simple.  He's only upset when he needs to sleep, eat, or needs his pants changed.

So I pretty much had my SILENCE and I didn't like it.
Not at all..

I missed the pounding of their running feet...
I missed their laughter...
I missed their squeals...
I even missed the sound of their little bikes making circles on my kitchen floor.

I think I called to check on them a little to much but I couldn't help it.  They will be home in a few hours and I can't wait to hug them!

A mom needs a break from time to time...it makes you a better mom and I know that.  Having this break makes me realize that I need to have a little more patience with my babies...
that I need to let them be loud from time to time....
that I need to give a few more hugs and kisses...

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

It's an amazing blessing to be a mommy...even in the hard times...and on the crazy days when I am sleep deprived and finding myself taking a few more deep breaths before exploding...I wouldn't change it or trade it for anything!
